    It doesn’t really do anything and calls itself endlessly. Maybe you meant this:

    function turnTransparency(){

    app.project.transparencyGridThumbnails = true;

    }

    I doesn’t turn the transparency on at all.

    I do see that it turns the transparency on in the in the project panel window but not the main composition viewer. Really odd.

    That’s correct, I think it just affects the transparency of thumbnails in the project panel.

    It looks like the code is encrypted. Some of those instructions links are dead 🙁

    He’s on the After Effects forum.
    If you make a donation and ask him nicely, he might show you the trick 🙂

    Or just run his script from your script.

    I am on a Mac, do you know how to run the script from UI panel? I used app.executeCommand but doesn’t work
