Hi!

Is it possible to move the current time indicator within a script?

Hey All, I'd like to export position, scale, and rotation from AE and dump it into Flash. I'd want to apply the transforms in Flash to the same assets that I used in AE. I'd dump the transforms from AE into a text file, probably formatted as XML, but I'm not sure how I'd get that data into Flash. An...

here were 2 brackets missing after the read command in your code Ouch! Sorry about that. I must not have copy and pasted that part! That kind of thing often trips me up when working with new objects. i still get an "undefined" as last output in my console window though. any ideas where th...

Here's how I do it: //load the path to the XML file var filePath = "/g/Automation/test.xml" //create a new file object using the path aafileObj = new File(filePath); //open the file with read privledges aafileObj.open("r","TEXT","????"); //read the file as a s...

Is it possible to get the index for the total number of property
groups in a layer as well as the index for the total number of
properties within the group?
Thanks!

Hi all, Can I reference and set the region of interest in JS? I haven't been able to find any documentation about it. What I need to do is render out a bunch of stills from various times in the comp. I want to set the region of interest to the bounds of a layer and then render out the comp with an o...

Very usefull! Thanks!

Wow! That was way beyond anything I expected. Thanks a lot Paul! I'll take your advice the next time I post.

Hi All, I'd like to write a script that would automate a couple repetitive tasks I have to do for each animation I create. 1. I'd like to be able to select a number of adjacent keyframes on a single layer and have them converted into hold keyframes 2. Have each hold keyframe rendered out (using an o...

Thanks Byron! That would be super helpfull.

Hi,

I'd like to output the XY coordinates of a layer and write it into a text file. Is this possible? Thanks.
