Bake All Expressions in Comp?

[Dan Ebberts]

If it’s just Orientation, I think this will work (assuming you have the comp active):


var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
for (var i = 1; i <= myComp.numLayers; i++){
myComp.layer(i).selected = false;
}
var myProp;
for (var i = 1; i <= myComp.numLayers; i++){
try{
myProp = myComp.layer(i).property("Orientation");
if (myProp.expressions != ""){
myProp.selected = true;
app.executeCommand(app.findMenuCommandId("Convert Expression to Keyframes"));
myComp.layer(i).selected = false;
}
}catch(err){
}
}

Worked like a charm. Thank you Dan! I can use this with any property, yes? What a time saver!

Well, you’d have to edit the property name in the script. Having it work for any property with an expression would require a more complex script.

If I used this to bake sourcetext that I populated from expressions, it there any way to turn off keyframing on the text layers since every frame would be the same value? I know I can go through hundreds of layers and click the stopwatch.

Thanks in advance, I realize this is a 5 year old post.
