Felt so dumb after reading this but, yeah, waaaaay down at the bottom I had soloed a layer and forgotten about it. I think I need more coffee.

Hi,

I know this is an old thread but my question is somewhat related. I know I can get the scaled pixel dimensions of a layer by right-clicking on Transform Scale but is it possible to grab that data using Extendscript?

I think I can figure out the math for getting the pixel dimensions based on the data I can grab about the source image and the comp, but I was wondering if there was a direct way to grab the info from the AE UI within a script since the data is already there.

Thanks for any helpful info. (Please bear in mind that I’m still a beginner at scripting for AE.) 🙂

Edit: Yay! I figured out the math and code I needed. I’m sure what I’ve done is pretty simple for an intermediate scripter but, as I said, I’m a beginner at this. Anyway, I’m still wondering if there is a direct way to grab the info from the UI as described above Thanks!

Thank you for the helpful explanation and solution!

This ‘problem’ has been bugging me for years and I had no idea why it happens. Now that I understand how to fix it properly, I’m tempted to go back and re-render a bunch of old stuff. 🙂
