Quickly modifying effects settings on many tracks

[Dan Ebberts]

Try this:


{
function main(){
var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
if (myComp == null || !(myComp instanceof CompItem)){
alert ("No comp selected.");
return;
}
for (var i = 1; i <= myComp.numLayers; i++){
var myEffect = myComp.layer(i).property("Effects");
for (var j = 1; j <= myEffect.numProperties; j++){
if (myEffect.property(j).name == "Roughen Edges"){
myEffect.property(j).property("Border").setValue(0.6);
}
}

}

}
main()
}

Thanks Dan,
Would this work down through nested comps recursively?

[Dan Ebberts]

Nope, but this should:


{
function processComp(theComp){
for (var i = 1; i <= theComp.numLayers; i++){
var myEffect = theComp.layer(i).property("Effects");
for (var j = 1; j <= myEffect.numProperties; j++){
if (myEffect.property(j).name == "Roughen Edges"){
myEffect.property(j).property("Border").setValue(0.6);
}
}
if ((theComp.layer(i) instanceof AVLayer) && (theComp.layer(i).source instanceof CompItem))
processComp(theComp.layer(i).source);
}
}
function main(){
var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
if (myComp == null || !(myComp instanceof CompItem)){
alert ("No comp selected.");
return;
}

processComp(myComp);

}
main()
}
