Add a custom solid to a selected comp in the project panel
Hi
I cant figure this one out. I really am the phase of learning the wonderfull world of after effect scripting.
I am trying to do a script where i add a custom solid to a selected comp in the project panel. Also do a check to see if a comp is selected.
Here below is my poor attempt.
app.beginUndoGroup("Add solid");var curItem = app.project.activeItems;
//Check if is a comp is selected
if(curItem == null || !(curItem instanceof CompItem)) {
alert("Please select a comp");}else{
alert("You have selected a comp");
curItem.items.addSolid([0.5,0.5,0.5], "My Gray Solid", 1920, 1080, 1.0, 5);
}
app.endUndoGroup();Please advice…

[Hamid Rohi-Bilverdy] “var curItem = app.project.activeItems;”
This line is wrong. There is only one activeItem. It should read:
var curItem = app.project.activeItem;[Hamid Rohi-Bilverdy] “curItem.items.addSolid([0.5,0.5,0.5], “My Gray Solid”, 1920, 1080, 1.0, 5);”
This line is also wrong. addSolid() is a method of a layer collection, not an item collection:
curItem.layers.addSolid([0.5,0.5,0.5], "My Gray Solid", 1920, 1080, 1.0, 5);Walter Soyka
