Transform Position Script
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)]

Or similar to this expression.
transform.position + [315,-200];

Something like this (assuming the target layer is the first layer and has no keyframes):
var myLayer = app.project.activeItem.layer(1);
var curVal = myLayer.property(“Position”).value;
myLayer.property(“Position”).setValue([curVal[0]+315,curVal[1]-200])Dan

Thanks Dan! How would I change the script to accommodate keyframes and only affect the selected layer.
Would I use:setValueAtKey
selectedLayers -
More like this:
var mySelectedLayers = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers;
if (mySelectedLayers.length > 0){
var myLayer = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0];
var myProp = myLayer.property("Position");
var curVal;
if (myProp.numKeys > 0){
for (var i = 1; i <= myProp.numKeys; i++){ curVal = myProp.keyValue(i); myProp.setValueAtKey(i,[curVal[0]+300,curVal[1]-200]); } }else{ curVal = myProp.value; myProp.setValue([curVal[0]+300,curVal[1]-200]); } }Dan
Edit: Oops, there was a typo in there
