I know this was 6 years ago, but I recently ran into this problem and thought I’d offer my input for any future googlers.

The problem when I got this error was an issue with a mask shape which had a key on the same frame my project was erroring out on. Through lots of guess and check I narrowed it down. Turned out I didn’t need the key anyway and this fixed the problem.

Great thanks.

A quick tip for anyone who might be looking at this post in the future: My changes didn’t work at first because I didn’t realize Dan had changed the initial value of j to 1 instead of 0. Properties start at 1 I now realize.

The script I use to do this by Chris Green can be found here: https://www.crgreen.com/aescripts/

You’re probably past this project as your post was months ago, but just in case you or any future searchers need it…

[edit2] I have found the compItem attributes, so I am good to go. No I wonder, how can I check if a selected layer is a null or a solid?

Thank you very much. This is going to help so much

[Edit] Also, I was wondering how to get a list of selected items within the comp. I’ve found the items and selection attributes, but they seem to work for the project panel. Do I have to do something with activeItem first?

Great! Thanks. You mention applying an expression through a script. I didn’t know that could be done. In fact, that would actually help me skip a whole process and make things way easier for me. Could you give an example of how to do that or point me in a direction where I can learn that?
