Scripting: Assign layer color based on file name?
Sorry if this is a basic question, I am a relatively newbie at AE from a Shake and Nuke background.
I am hoping it is possible to script something that will automatically assign layer colors based on a filename input.
Eg it will check the filename and if it finds xxx_yyyyy_zzz_RGB.#.tga it will assign “red” (based on the RGB tag), if it finds xxx_yyyyy_zzz_SHADOW.#.tga it will assign “green” (based on the SHADOW tag) etc.
Any pointers would be appreciated.

Are you talking about the layer’s label color? As far as I know, that’s not accessible to scripting.

Yes, the label color. Interesting that it would not be accessible by scripting as it seems like a pretty basic functionality.
