    Posted by Billy Sides on October 4, 2011 at 7:31 pm

    I’m trying to create a script in AE CS5 extendscript. I’m haveing a little trouble getting some code to work, can anyone tell me what is wrong with this code? Am I missing something? I want this to execute when a button is clicked.

    file.copy("E:\Work\CopyFile\*.*", "E:\Work\toHere");

    Thanks for your help,

    I am not an scripting wizard, so I can only offer very limited help. You might have a little better luck in the After Effects Expressions forum [link].

    Sorry if this is “Did you plug it in?” question, but do you have After Effects > Preferences > General > Allow scripts to write files and access network checked?
