I've had the exact same problem this evening! I've tried different approches (duplicate(), executeCommand()...) with no success and spent 1/2 hour in the Guide to find the solution. (I should have checked the forum first, it took me 2 minutes to find this post). The add() method for OMCollection is ...

eureka i've found the solution ! (okay six month later )

the -r flag works fine when we type "afterfx" without specifying ".exe"

some additional info... . getFiles() returns an array of File (or Folder) objects, so no need to redeclare each element as a File. . you can actually "iterate ++": the number of files in the folder is reduced after each removal but the length of the original array that stores the objects s...

wow, is it a script for AE ?
looks like new school technique, what file are you parsing that way ?

thanks to both of you, I thought autofix was sort of find/replace in all broken expressions found in the project.

Hi guys, I'm having trouble with autoFixExpressions, does it work for you ? If I create a solid, add a slider control and write (for example) the following opacity expression: effect("Slider Control")("xxx"); and now execute this script: app.project.autoFixExpressions("xxx&q...

It's possible on Windows but it's kind of John Rambo script :) I describe the way I achieved it for those who'd like to try.. There are actually three components: .exe, .bat and .jsx - The .exe is a little program (10 lines or so) that retrieves a handle to the "Save Layered File As..." di...

m <= n , unless you want to skip the last item !

when you have retrieved the item (in a variable), do whatever you want with it (add layers, change settings...)

the scripting guide is a good way to start

Index starts at 1 (not 0) for project items.

for further reference...
I noticed Jeff also experienced odd behavior with the workAreaDuration attribute in his rd_RenderLayers.jsx

Look into the code to see how he fixed the problem ( "- 0.001" stuff)

Dan you're right :D, here is the script http://www.nabscripts.com/Forum/Scripts/myScripts/CharSep.jsx Actually I anticipated the limitation of such script as you end up with a bunch of text layers having the same size as the original even if it shows a single character, which is not very natural for...

Hi fiveshorts, I thought it was easy but for some unknown reasons I can't get it to work properly...maybe other enhancers will take look at it. - you have to close the "timeline frame" (otherwise only the current comp is updated).. - error occurred if some layers have been shifted beyond t...

I don't think so...to me keeping letters where they are is not doable.

- 3D point control (expression controls)
- new comp attribute to switch between LayerName/SourceName columns, something like myComp.showLayerName = true;

Hi Adam, you could try something like that var percent = prompt("Resize factor (percentage):","50"); var mySelection = app.project.selection; app.beginUndoGroup("scaleSelectedComps.jsx"); for (var i = 0; i < mySelection.length; i++) { if (mySelection[i] instanceof CompI...
