  • Simple AE Script for set position movement

    Posted by Jess Wellington on June 5, 2014 at 3:46 pm

    I am new to scripting, but I am trying to learn. I am trying to write a script that is currently done with keyframes and has become quite repetitive. I would like the script to take the selected layer and move it a specific amount in the x, y and z directions. Something similar to this expression, but in script form.

    x = transform.position[0];
    y = transform.position[1];

    [(x+315), (y-200)]

    Try the Expressions Forum, some of the regular contributors there are familiar with scripting.
