  • Dan’s importing text to layers – not for Mac?

    Posted by Stu Pond on December 11, 2006 at 1:41 pm

    I have tried Dan’s excellent script for importing text as layers into AE, but I can’t get it to recognise the files on a mac – it works fine on a PC. It sees the files, but won’t let me select them.

    Any ideas?

    Try changing this line:

    var myFile = fileGetDialog(“Select a text file to open.”, “TEXT txt”);

    to this:

    var myFile = fileGetDialog(“Select a text file to open.”, “”);

    Sorry for the tardy response – been snowed under (I’m not complaining!)

    Thanks for this Dan, this has proved a really useful script when doing subtitling in AE. Generous with your time and knowlege as ever.

    Cheers,
