Toggle transparency

[Dan Ebberts]

It doesn’t really do anything and calls itself endlessly. Maybe you meant this:

function turnTransparency(){
	app.project.transparencyGridThumbnails = true;
}

I doesn’t turn the transparency on at all.

I do see that it turns the transparency on in the in the project panel window but not the main composition viewer. Really odd.

[Dan Ebberts]

That’s correct, I think it just affects the transparency of thumbnails in the project panel.

😞 Bad to know. Thank you Dan.

Walter Soyka knows of a way to toggle the transparency grid:

Toggle Transparency Grid Shortcut in After Effects

It looks like the code is encrypted. Some of those instructions links are dead 🙁

[Filip Vandueren]

He’s on the After Effects forum.
If you make a donation and ask him nicely, he might show you the trick 🙂

Or just run his script from your script.

I am on a Mac, do you know how to run the script from UI panel? I used app.executeCommand but doesn’t work

[Stanley Castello]

Never mind, I got it.
