Use script to freeze on last frame for 2 seconds

[Meng Zhiqun]

You can try this. if targeting layers is required, select them before executing the script. If not, use this without selecting any layers.

var projComp = app.project.activeItem;
var selLay = projComp.selectedLayers;
var addTime = 2;
function addCompTime(item){
    if(item.timeRemapEnabled == false){
        item.timeRemapEnabled = true;
        item.outPoint = item.outPoint+  addTime;
    }else{
        item.outPoint = item.outPoint+  addTime;
    }
}
app.beginUndoGroup("setOutPoint");
if(selLay.length > 0){//Select layers in comp
    for(var i = 0; i < selLay.length; i++){
        var curLay = selLay[i];
        try{
            addCompTime(curLay);
        }catch(e){
            curLay.outPoint += addTime;
        }
    }
}else{
    projComp.duration += addTime;
    for(var i = 1; i <= projComp.numLayers; i++){
        var curNSLay = projComp.layer(i);
        if(curNSLay.source.typeName != "Composition"){
            curNSLay.outPoint += addTime;
        }else{
            addCompTime(curNSLay);
        }
    }
}
app.endUndoGroup();

Thanks for the help Meng Zhiqun.

Because I am the end user, and I have done error checking elsewhere in the script, I trimmed it down to this:

var compVideo = app.project.item(3); // the video composition – which because of the naming structure will be the 3rd composition

var vidL = compVideo.layer(4); // the actual video layer in the video composition – will be layer 4

var addTime = 2;

function freezeFrame(vidL){

item.startTime = 0;

compVideo.duration = item.outPoint+ addTime;

item.timeRemapEnabled = true;

item.outPoint = item.outPoint+ addTime;

}

Apologies for the late response.

Hey Rob,

Of course! My examples were done in a rush. So I’m glad u could proof read it. 🙂 Have fun!
