“Scripting” Add keyframe to all path shape
Hi Everyone,
I’m new in scripting but I try to write a simple script for adding a keyframe on every path of shape layer, i succeed with a part of that:
var myLayers = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers;
var myLayer;
for (var i = 0; i < myLayers.length; i++){
myLayer = myLayers[i];
if (myLayer instanceof ShapeLayer){
var myContents = myLayer.property("ADBE Root Vectors Group");
for (var j = 1; j <= myContents.numProperties; j++){
myContents.property(j).property("ADBE Vectors Group").property("ADBE Vector Shape - Group").property("ADBE Vector Shape").addKey(1);
}
}
}
but i have difficult if there is a lot of “Vector Shape” on “Shape – Group” it doesn’t work.
Do you have an idea how to do it ?
Thanks a lot

You would need a recursive function to loop through each layers properties and groups etc.
It’s a bit rough, but try this:
// Selected Layers
var myLayers = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers;//Loop through selected layers
for (var i = 0; i < myLayers.length; i++) { myLayer = myLayers[i]; //Check if layer Shape Layer if (myLayer instanceof ShapeLayer) { //Find the contents var myContents = myLayer.property("Contents"); // Apply Function to Shapes contents propertySearch(myContents); } // End of If statement } // End of for loop. function propertySearch(a) { //Loop through first set of properties for (var j = 1; j <= a.numProperties; j++) { // Loop through second set to find previous property group for (var k = 1; k <= a.property(j).numProperties; k++) { // Check its a shape if (a.property(j).property(k) == a.property(j).property("ADBE Vector Shape")) { a.property(j).property(k).addKey(1); // add key } // End of Check // Repeat function. Recursively propertySearch(a.property(j).property(k)); } // End of K loop } // end of J for loop } // End of Function. -
Thank a lot James i will see that and thanks for all your explanation in the code.
