Remove all shape layers in selected composition

[Jim Scott]

I don’t know how to create a script, if that’s what you’re asking, but if you just want to remove all shape layers: Enter “shape” in the search window above the layers in the Timeline panel. Drag to select them all (don’t use “select all”)… delete. Clear the search window by clicking the X and the remaining layers will be displayed.

Thank you, Jim Scott, for your reply but this is not work in my case i have 500 hundred + comp. so I don,t want open all 1 by1 I want select all comp run script then removed all shapes layer in comp.

Here’s a quick script that will remove all shape layers in the selected comps in a project (or in the active comp if no selection is made).

Back up your project file first and use this at your own risk!

function deleteAllShapeLayersInComp(comp) {
// delete all shape layers in the specifed comp

// step through the comp, removing any shape layers as we go
// work backwards from the last layer, because removing later layers won't affect the indices of earlier ones
for(var i = comp.numLayers; i >= 1; i--) {
if (comp.layers[i] instanceof ShapeLayer) comp.layers[i].remove();
}
}

function processProjectSelectionComps(func) {
// go through all selected items in a project. if they're comps, perform the specifed function on them

if (app.project.selection.length > 0) {
for (var i = 0; i < app.project.selection.length; i++) {
if (app.project.selection[i] instanceof CompItem) {
func(app.project.selection[i]);
}
}
}
}

app.beginUndoGroup("Delete All Shape Layers");

if (app.project.selection.length > 0) {
processProjectSelectionComps(deleteAllShapeLayersInComp);
} else if (app.project.activeItem instanceof CompItem) {
deleteAllShapeLayersInComp(app.project.activeItem);
}

app.endUndoGroup();
