GUI – ExtendScript
Hey guys,
Done all the functionalities required for my project via extendscript. Now, I want create a GUI for my script. Referred After Effects Scripting Guide which gives a code below for GUI:
function createUI(thisObj) {
var myPanel = thisObj;
myPanel.add("button", [10, 10, 100, 30], "Tool #1");
return myPanel;
}
var myToolsPanel = createUI(this);I couldn’t understand this code snippet. Kindly, help me in understanding this and also, provide me any resource related to complete GUI reference for after effects.
Thanks in advance!

There’s a lot of documentation on building GUIs via scripting here:
https://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/aftereffects/scripting/JavaScript-Tools-Guide-CC.pdfHere’s a tool to build WYSIWYG ScriptUIs:
