toggle TimeWarp’s adjustTimeBy property (AE scripting)
This is my first swing at scripting some properties. Did a bunch of searching and tried to frankenstein some code. I really do no know what I am doing so forgive this syntax if it makes no since?
All I want to do is apply the TimeWarp effect to my footage, set the “Adjust Time By” and make the source frame 30 for my footage. This will help me make a poster frame (thumbnail) of any image sequence I bring in.I successfully figured out how to apply Timewarp to my layer! But I am now stuck…
I want to select or toggle the “adjust Time By” property and set the value to somewhere in the middle to skip the handle frames.
layer(1).property(“Effects”).addProperty(“Timewarp”).property(“adjustTimeBy”);
//stuck now as this will not toggle the property. All this does is apply Timewarp with its default “Speed” property set to 50%. I want to toggle into the adjustTimeBy and set the source to a value.Again I am stuck here. Or if you have another solution I am all ears.
I started reading about how to do this last night, so pretty green with this. If you can keep it simple I might be able to figure it out.
Thanks for your help!layer(1).property("Effects").addProperty("Timewarp").property("adjustTimeBy");

Try it this way:
var comp = app.project.activeItem;
var timeWarp = comp.layer(1).property(“Effects”).addProperty(“Timewarp”);
timeWarp.property(“Adjust Time By”).setValue(2);
timeWarp.property(“Source Frame”).setValue(30);Dan

Bless you Dan you Saint!
I spent so much time trying to figure out how to toggle this and it was a set value of 2. Ha. How is one suppose to know it is not a true or false? Well day two of coding so this is really cool! Thanks again Dan.
I tried to run the gimmeprops to read the property names. That script will not run for me? I am sure I am doing something wrong
Have a great day. In three hours you helped me…That is better than the police responding to a car accident. LOL!
