Appreciate it thanks.

Sorry, Steve, it’s still nor happening.

Hi,
Can you please make the above code work, even if the layers stacking order is from bottom to top.

[Avinash Ramanath]

Only out animation is happening, but in animation is not happening.

Hi,
Here is the working code.

function killDeadSpace(cItem, preserveOverlap) {
if(preserveOverlap == true) {

for(i = cItem.layers.length; i > 1; i--) {

var curLayer = cItem.layers[i];

if(curLayer.name == 'Music') continue; // ignoring this layer

var prevLayer = cItem.layers[i - 1];
var deadSpace = (curLayer.inPoint) - (prevLayer.outPoint);

if(deadSpace > 0) {

var inBefore = curLayer.inPoint;
var diff = curLayer.inPoint - curLayer.startTime;
curLayer.startTime = prevLayer.outPoint - diff;
var inAfter = curLayer.inPoint;
var amountMoved = inBefore - inAfter;

var j = curLayer.index;
while(j < cItem.layers.length) {
//cItem.layers[j + 1].label = 12;
cItem.layers[j + 1].startTime = cItem.layers[j + 1].startTime - amountMoved;
j++;
};
}
else {

continue;
}
}
}
else {
for(i = 2; i <= cItem.layers.length; i++) {

var curLayer = cItem.layers[i];

if(curLayer.name == 'Music') continue; // ignoring this layer

var prevLayer = cItem.layers[i - 1]
var diff = curLayer.inPoint - curLayer.startTime;
curLayer.startTime = prevLayer.outPoint - diff - 0; // time to overlap
}
}
}

Steve, need one more alteration. What should the expression be if it needs to have different in and out animations
example:

in – from [960,-540] to [960,540]
out – from [960,540] to [960,-960]

Thanks

Thanks Steve,
It was getting complicated to recognise the source of the file hence iam referring to the layer by name as “music”. I will post the working code here in some time. Thanks

[Avinash Ramanath]

Thanks Steve, that worked

Hi Steve,
No it’s not working.

[Avinash Ramanath]

” For the second point i have created a script already and it is working…i only need help with the script for the first part please ”
Can you please share that script with me. It will be a huge help.
