Hi Paul, Thanks for the pointer. I already have marker shifting in my script -- those were easy :-). It's the non-marker keyframes that are more work because of the interp type, ease, tangent, spatial/temporal, roving, and other (?) settings that makes things cumbersome, especially if some of the se...

Setting layer outPoint for stretched layers

Does anyone know how to set a layer's outPoint when the layer is stretched?

I know that I have to compensate for the layer's startTime (i.e., layer.outPoint -= layer.startTime), but that works only for non-stretched layers.

Does anyone have the magic formula for this?

Thanks,
Jeff

Shifting a keyframe

Is there an easy way to shift a keyframe to a different time by just specifying a different time value for it? It seems like you have to remember the key's various settings, delete the key, add the key at the new time, and reapply the settings.

Thanks,
Jeff

Peter,

If you're looking for the AEGP function for setting the auto-orientation values, I believe it's the AEGP_SetLayerFlag() function (and AEGP_LayerFlag_AUTO_ORIENT_ROTATION, AEGP_LayerFlag_LOOK_AT_CAMERA, and AEGP_LayerFlag_LOOK_AT_POI flags) on page 180 of the SDK Guide for AE 6.5.

If you need access to that functionality today, you can either write a Python script for UA (if you have that plug-in) or develop your own AEGP plug-in. The AE SDK is publicly available here , but I don't have any personal experience using it. I didn't write the core UA plug-in. I've submitted a fea...

Hi Dave, I couldn't find it in the AE Scripting Guide either. UA doesn't wrap AE's JavaScript interface with a Python interface -- it actually wraps AE's AEGP interface (available to plug-in developers) with a Python interface. The JavaScript and AEGP interfaces are not mirrors of each other (sadly)...

Ah, someone found me out. :-) Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, I hope to post more AE scripts and helpful tips in the future. I've been ramping up on AE's JavaScript interface, and it's been interesting to see how it compares to the UA Python interface. Definitely a little rough at the start, mainly...
