AE script to create project and save as… with a specific name without prompting
How can I create a project and save it with a specified path, in a script? Thanks.
The following doesn’t do the trick:
var my_project_path = '/abc/compositing.aep';
var my_project_file = new File(my_project_path);my_new_project = app.newProject();
app.project.save([my_project_file]);

Your code is really close to working! You should remove the square brackets around “my_project_file” in the last line. Square brackets in JavaScript indicate arrays, and app.project.save() is expecting a File object.
One other gotcha that could prevent this from working: the folder that you’re saving the file to must exist before you call app.project.save(). You validate the path and create any directories necessary in your code somewhere before the final line.
