Adding folder items to a comp
Hi,
I have a folder in my project with some footage imported by my script, and I would like to add that footage to a comp that has already been created called “myComp”. Trying to loop through the folder items as an array and add them to the comp that way, but my code doesn’t seem to be working. Can someone point out what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance!!
var folderItems = targetFolder.getFiles();
for (var i = 0; i <folderItems.length; i++) {
myComp.layers.add(folderItems[i]);
} -

getFiles() works with disk-based folders, not project bin folders. I think you’ll need to go through all the items, collecting any FootageItem where theItem.parentFolder.id == targetFolder.id .
There may be other ways to do it, but I think that’s how I’d do it.

Hey, I’m about a half a decade late to the party.
Can someone please explain Dan’s solution? I’m trying to create a script where a folder is selected in the project panel, and all of its contents are added to a main composition in the project. how would I go about doing that?
