Move a Layer to a X/Y position via Script

[Christian1979]

Hi

I need some help with my After Effects script

I wanna add a command to my script to move a layer to a specific Postion (x360, y289)!

Here is my current Script (a part of it):

Code: Select all

   function Make_fields_view() {
	app.beginUndoGroup("Fields view");   
	if(myPanel.butRF.value == 1)
		{
			var reverse_fields_order =0;   // 0 or 1 for reverse field order
		}
	else
		{
			var reverse_fields_order =1;   // 0 or 1 for reverse field order
		}

	if ((app.project.activeItem == null) || ((app.project.activeItem != null) && !(app.project.activeItem instanceof CompItem)))
		{
			alert("Wählen Sie eine Komposition zum Erstellen der Halbbild-Vorschau!");	
		}
	else
		{
		var comp = app.project.activeItem;
		var myItemCollection = app.project.items; 
		var myComp_field_view = myItemCollection.addComp("Halbbild-Vorschau", comp.width, comp.height,comp.pixelAspect, comp.duration, comp.frameRate); // create comp interlaced or single field
		var comp_bg = myComp_field_view.layers.add(comp); //add original comp in fields view 
		var Fields_viewer_1 = myComp_field_view.layers.addSolid([.5,.5,.5], "2. Halbbild", comp.width,comp.height,comp.pixelAspect,comp.duration); // add solid in  fields view comp
		var comp_layer = myComp_field_view.layers.add(comp); //add original comp in fields view

I wanna move the layer "comp_bg" to the postion (x360, y289)

Code: Select all

var comp_bg = myComp_field_view.layers.add(comp); //add original comp in fields view 

Can someone help me?

This should do it:

Code: Select all

comp_bg.property("ADBE Transform Group").property("ADBE Position").setValue([360,289]);
