Adobe Media Encoder Watch Folders.

You drop your file into the Media Encoder watch folder which you previously set up convert whatever goes into a your resolution parameters and file format and it just does it, putting the original in a subfolder called Source.

It’s amazing

I’m having a similar issue, but mine is with a WAV, not an MP3. It’s just stopped working, not just in one aep but also in other aeps which previously did export wavs.

I’m using 5.5 in a locked studio environment with no access to updating our version. Saying that, we can’t understand why WAVs are not exportable all of a sudden from one machine.

Thanks for any response

do you know what the script code would be to paint that clone stroke, so I can automate this sort of process with a script?

Thanks

[Gary Noden]

lol

Yep, gotten that far now.

Actually, I’m getting the hang of it thanks to your website!

You’re a clever guy

So, I’ve got the undoGroup, the check for a layer being selected, I can add a paint effect to the layer, but I don’t know how to add a clone stroke.

I’ll get there.

Thanks again for your time.

Yep, JavaScript is still very new, if not non-existent. 🙂

Is there a way in After Effects to see code in action as you perform a function like you can with Mel script in Maya?

I think I’m going to sit down with the scripting stuff from Adobe and start with it’s equivalent to “Hello World”

Thanks so far, Dan. It’s much appreciated.

n = thisProperty.propertyGroup(2).name.split(" ")[1];
motionTracker("Tracker " +n) ("Track Point 1").attachPoint

Well, in every instance there are four tracked points that need removing on the character’s face so I’m using an expression which makes clone1’s clone position come from tracker1 trackpoint1 plus its offset and the clone’s position comes from tracker1 trackpoint1

The expression for clone1’s position is:
motionTracker(“Tracker 1”) (“Track Point 1”).attachPoint

The one for the clone source is similar with:
+ motionTracker(“Tracker 1”) (“Track Point 1”).attachPointOffset

on the end so I can twiddle the source of the clone to not be the dot I am removing.

I just want a quick way to create and link up the clone’s to the tracking points via a script, as I have so many to do.

motionTracker("Tracker 1") ("Track Point 1").attachPoint
motionTracker("Tracker 1") ("Track Point 1").attachPoint
+ motionTracker("Tracker 1") ("Track Point 1").attachPointOffset
