Sorry, nothing comes to mind on that. You are wanting to undo a normal AE action that was done before the script was launched? I'll let you know if I run across anything. This would be a good application for a scriptlistener like Photoshop has.

When saying undo, do you mean you want to be able to undo your script?
If so, just put these lines and the beginning and end of your script.

app.beginUndoGroup("Your undo text here");
//put your script in between here
app.endUndoGroup();

Glad to see someone found a use for my [sometimes obscure] scripts. I'll have to give the "Video Love" a try.

Thanks guys. I was able to use Impudent's advice on some lines. I have run into something that has me stumped though. I need a line to be written to a file that looks like this blah blah "Company Name" blah blah "Company Name" is a variable stored in the prefs my current script l...

I am writing a script that writes an applescript file. I borrowed some lines from Impudent's Render and Shutdown script. In the writeLn part, how can I write a line that needs to have quotes in it? For example if I wanted to write a script line that was "Hello" I would do: writeLn("&q...

I'm no expert here but I'll tell you what I usually do. I don't think you have to spell out what kind of array you want. you can just say: var myArray = new Array(); //makes an empty array myArray[0]= 7; //add a single value to the first slot in the array myArray[1]= "Hello World"; //add s...

Take a look at the OHM stuff on this site.

Yeah, I found some good info on the Apple site after I posted that. They have some applescripts that add annotations to quicktimes. I've never used Applescript since I'm on a PC but I'm going to see if I can get it to work on one of the Macs here. I also found this. "The MacOS.OSA object allows...

Does anyone know of a way to write data into a quicktime file like, Author and copyright etc... ? I would like to be able to do this with scripting. I was wondering if you could accomplish this with AppleScript and maybe call the AppleScript from within AE?

I am trying to set up a script that calls a custom pallete. I want to have a small script that resides in the startup folder and calls another script that actually creates the palette. I want to be able to adjust and update the palette without having to copy the script to all my artists here. I can ...

Is there a way to Convert Audio to Keyframes via scripting?

Just a bump to let people know that the script is finished.

I'm trying to get a script to work that changes the length of all comps under a selected comp. The problem is that I have a recursive function to go through all the layers and find the comps. It works fine down one branch of my comp, but if I have two precomps in one comp, it doesn't get to the othe...

I think I have COMPIFY.jsx working now. The cancel button doesn't do anything and it reports the wrong number of comps. (Any Ideas?) Thanks for your help. That's very strange that the dialog acts funny just because you don't have a Cancel button. I'm still getting my head around how to do the cancel...

That's very strange. No I haven't figured it out and have been having trouble on my dialogs lately. What do you put in for a cancel command? I'm getting stuck on what the method is to jump out of a function when you click on cancel.

Thanks Paul.
