Mask.maskFeather variable
Hello,
is there a way to set the value of the mask feather in the following script … I tried a lot of different ways, but I’m just starting AE scripting and I’m totaly lost.
Thank you for your help
function convert3DToMask(){var currentComp = app.project.activeItem;
var selectedLayers = currentComp.selectedLayers;
var nbSelectedLayers = selectedLayers.length;
var prefixS = "2Dmask_";
var suffix = "";var newLayer;
var currentLayer;
var newName;
var size = Number(solidSizeFld.text);if (app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers.length > 0)
{for (var i = 0; i < nbSelectedLayers; i++)
{
currentLayer = selectedLayers[i];
newName = prefixS + currentLayer.name + suffix;newLayer = currentComp.layers.addSolid([0,1.0,0], newName, size, size, 1);
newLayer.name = newName;
newMask = newLayer.Masks.addProperty("Mask");
newMask.inverted = false;
myMaskShape = newMask.property("maskShape");
myShape = myMaskShape.value;
myShape.vertices = [[size*0.25,size*0.25],[size*0.25,size*0.75],[size*0.75,size*0.75],[size*0.75,size*0.25]];
myShape.closed = true;
myMaskShape.setValue(myShape);expression = "L = thisComp.layer("" + currentLayer.name +"");L.toComp(L.anchorPoint);";
newLayer.position.expression = expression;
writeLn(currentLayer.name + " was converted to 2D mask");
writeLn("with a size of : " + size);
}
}
else
{
alert("Select 3d null layers to convert", "Warning", true);
}
}

I haven’t tested it, but something like this should work:
newMask.property(“maskFeather”).setValue([10,10]);

thank you !!! SO MUCH !
I was trying this way :// myMaskFeather = newMask.property(“maskFeather”);
// myMaskFeather.setValue(15);but it was always making errors… so thanks a lot and here’s my script
(coded with feet… but for a first script I’m happy) It’s a tool to transform 3D locators from maya and syntheyes in my case to a 2D_null, a 2D_solid with a mask or a 2D_patch… the 2D patch is used to replicate and offset a small portion of a footage to erase the tracked markers.. simple but so usefull for the project I’m working on…I know there are a lot of improvments to be more powerfull :
mask size is in percent but if you set under 50% it will invert the mask, as it is based on the vertex position.feel free to use it and improve it… (and share your feeedback) I think I will try to go further with my poor scripting skills. I will try to give the user the ability to bake the expression on the created objects position. And a second feature would be to translate it in french 🙂
