What a great treat. Thanks!

[Roger BURTON] “I’m not really up on scripts so I wasn’t sure what to do with it but I think yours is written for NTSC … I’m in PAL land.”
Hey Roger.
Maybe we can correspond a little to get a newer version working for you. I’m busy but if you want to do a test with a dummy project or something I’d be happy to whip up a better version. You can toggle any aspect of the script off via the interface.
Let me know what you think — feel free to drop me a line: crgreen “at” crgreen “dot com”-cg

Tyler,
Check out my “Replicate as spine” and “selected as spline” scripts on crgreen.com. Maybe there is something there … fun to play with, anyway …CG

[Filip Vandueren] “I just Alt-click the Desktop or”
Alt? I thought this was a OSX-only problem …

Sorry about the delay, folks.
I’ve created an applescript application that might help if you get in the ‘forever hidden after effects’ jam again.
From the app’s initial dialog:THIS SCRIPT WILL
1: check to see if the current afx project has ever been saved (has a file associated with it)
2: if not, it will save a project called “EMERGENCYSAVE.aep” at the root of your startup drive
3: if the project has a file associated with it, it will close the project and save it first (if it has unsaved changes)
4: find After Effect’s process ID, then KILL it (this is force-quitting)
5: re-activate After Effectsit does ask before killing.
Download it here:

I don’t have v7 yet … but I wonder if you could, as a safeguard, run a script to save the project and quit the app …
I’d love to test this, but I don’t have access to v7 to work this out …
could send you a script to test, perhaps …

[DHenion] “CG: Was wondering why you suggest also getting SynthEyes? Do you feel that in cases where PFTrack is having problems SynthEyes might do better?”
Rather than alloting all your budget-eggs to one basket, it seems smart to get as many tools as possible, in my opinion. This is one reason why I tend to support and advise on investing in software that is cross-platform (which is a drawback for Boujou). Also, yes, there are times when a track is problematic for one tool and less so for another (this is also true for disk utilities). These tracking algorithms are getting very complex — the mathematics are getting such that the programs will probably start writing themselves before long (hmm, they probably already are). Why not diversify your bag of tricks? Especially since the price drop was so dramatic a few years ago. Good philosopy: ‘you get what you pay for’ BUT consider these points as well:
1. price drops in this biz are inevitable with certain products
2. most of the technology in the current context came out of Academia (you know about PFTrack’s history, and look at Voodoo https://www.digilab.uni-hannover.de/docs/manual.html)
3. some argue that software should be free, so there ARE great cheap and open source solutions, or, if not solutions, good ideas that lead to solutions.This brings us to the end of my rant.
Best of luck!
