That was easy. sorry. Sometimes just need to sleep well before work! =)

var x=app.project.item(2).layer(1).startTime;
var c=app.project.item(2).layer(1).outPoint;
app.project.item(1).layer(1).startTime=x;
app.project.item(1).layer(1).outPoint=c;

Yep.. why not 🙂 But who knows…
Maybe some good man will give some help.
At example what can help..
How looks script (part of script) to change sourceText in Text Layer to text from script or from external file?

But is it possible to do kind of this thing with Script?
Down i paste my expression thet i put in Point of control effect, that’s work fine. But it is not usable until this process (render) won’t be fast (ex. just one time calculation).
p.s. if it is possible to do with script, i need to learn it fast from zero =)

var xPosition = 0;
var yPosition = 0;
var compWidth=Math.round(thisComp.width/5);
var compHeight=Math.round(thisComp.height/5);
for (x = 1; x < compWidth; x++)
{
for (y = 1; y< compHeight; y++)
{
var samplePointXY=[x*5, y*5];
var sampleRadius=[1,1];
var sampledColor_8bpc=255*thisComp.layer("dot").sampleImage(samplePointXY, sampleRadius);
var colorRed=Math.round(sampledColor_8bpc[0]);
if (colorRed >190){
var xPosition = x*5;
var yPosition = y*5;
break;
}
}
if (xPosition>0)
break;
}
[xPosition,yPosition]

Thank you very mutch!

If who knows maby it’s no way to do this?

about little tab in “Export Settings”…
I reconvert all files to “without include XMP”
Now if i will leave default XMP (switched on) in “Export settings” queue will be fine.

Good luck.

[first problem “Long idle time”] – Solution

Xmp Metadata!
Then you want to export project, what do you do? :
File/Export/Media…
“Export Settings” window is on your monitor
And now! Go to the little tab after tabs with

[ ‘filters”format”video”audio”others’ ‘This small tab’ ]

and uncheck “Include Source xmp Metadata”

That’s all!

[second problem “Long idle time before file encoding in Media Encoder “] – solution
Your video files must be without xmp Metadata.
In my side all files was made by Aftereffects, but aftereffects by default put metadata to all rendered files. Uncheck before render.

[third problem “Long time loading project”] – Solution
the same as solution of second problem.

[plus] After removing xmp Metadata my Flash files drop ~30% of size (sample: 15 MB => 9 MB)

p.s. this is all about cs4 adobes software

One more #^$@*#$%!
I put to encoder my FLV file, and its take to encoding 03:26 min and 02:50 min of this time was IDLE!

That’s all, how to remove this IDLE problem?
