  Text layer PreComp

  Posted by Vasyl Iskovych on June 25, 2019 at 7:31 pm

  Hello.
  Help me please.
  How can a script make precomposing a text layer, according to the size of the text layer?
  Or how to create a new composition, the size of the text layer?
  I try to do it like this:
  var myName = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0];
var size=app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0].sourceRectAtTime();
var myComp1 = app.project.items.addComp("myName.name",size.width,size.height,1,10,30);
  But nothing works.
  Thank.

  Try this

  var myName = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0];
var size=app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0].sourceRectAtTime(app.project.activeItem.time,false);
var myComp1 = app.project.items.addComp(myName.name,Math.round(size.width),Math.round(size.height),1,10,30);
