Help. Script. How to insert comp from project panel…

[Dan Ebberts]

Here’s an example of adding a specific footage item from the project bin to a selected comp:

{

// script assumes destination comp is selected

var footageName = “zipper 1.avi”;
var myProject = app.project;
var myComp = myProject.activeItem;

// find the footage item
var myFootage = null;
for (var i = 1; i <= myProject.numItems; i++){ myFootage = myProject.item(i); if (myFootage.name == footageName && myFootage instanceof FootageItem){ break; } } if (myFootage == null){ alert ("Can't find " + footageName); }else{ myComp.layers.add(myFootage); } } Dan
