Hi all,
I am a technical artist and recently I need to help compositing. I found myself spending lot of time right-click, go to effect, and then Level, Curve, or some effects that I frequently used. In the shortcut file I can't see any about this. I can't find any command to create effect, or I could make it into UI with buttons to speed things up.
No idea at all. Please help.

How to add effects via script
Moderator: Paul Tuersley
If you are using alot of time the same effects on layers, you can create an animation preset, then you'll just have to drag & drop it from the preset panel onto the layers you need.
Or you can create a script, and tell him to apply an effect on each selected layers for exemple.
For that you'll need some javascript skills, and a deep look at thoses pdfs:
The After CS3 scripting guide: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/aftereffects/ for everything related to AE
The Adobe Bridge CS4 JavaScript Reference: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/bridge/ for everything related to UI & OS interaction (the pdf is inside the SDK)
