  [Scripting] How can I add Animator properties such as (Scale), (Fill Color RGB) to a text layer using extendscript?

  Posted by Adirai Maji on March 7, 2020 at 3:17 pm

  I want to know how can I add animator properties to a text layer. As far as I’ve searched I can only able to create “Animator 1” group under animator properties in After Effects scripting. I can’t find a way to add properties into it. Can anybody help me to do that?

  This is what I have so far ????

  app.project.activeItem.layer(1).Text.Animators.addProperty("ADBE Text Animator")

  Most of the properties:

  var anim = app.project.activeItem.layer(1).Text.Animators.addProperty("ADBE Text Animator");

  //add range selector
  anim("ADBE Text Selectors").addProperty("ADBE Text Selector");

  var animProperties = anim("ADBE Text Animator Properties");

  //Add properties

  //andchorPoint
  animProperties.addProperty("ADBE Text Anchor Point 3D");

  //position
  animProperties.addProperty("ADBE Text Position 3D");

  //scale
  animProperties.addProperty("ADBE Text Scale 3D");

  //skew
  animProperties.addProperty("ADBE Text Skew");

  //skew axis
  animProperties.addProperty("ADBE Text Skew Axis");

  //rotation
  animProperties.addProperty("ADBE Text Rotation");

  //Opacity
animProperties.addProperty("ADBE Text Opacity");

  To get more of the matchNames, use rd_gimmePropPath on those properties, after you manually added them.
