Simplifying a repetitive task
Posted: December 12th, 2006, 10:48 am
Good Afternoon and thanks in advance for any help you can throw my way.
What I am looking to achieve through scripting or any other method is a way of simplifying a repetitive task. I have 40 documents with 40 layers or so each, so I need to do this same thing around 1600 times...
Copy "Mask Shape" coordinates
Paste those coordinates to the "Write-on" effect brush position
This is assuming I already have created the mask, and have already added the write-on effect.
This would not be so much of a burden except for the factor of dialing down the layer menu, dialing down the mask menu, selecting the mask shape, copying, dialing down the effects menu, dialing down the Write-on menu, selecting the Brush Position and pasting.
What I am hoping to achieve is a way of selecting the layer and activating a script that will run that process.
Can something of this nature be done through scripting? Is there a better or more straightforward way I am not aware of? Even a way of dialing open all submenus of a layer simultaneously would be appreciated.
Thanks much!
