I added the code from json2.js (https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js/blob/master/json2.js) into my jsx file. This only worked for AE5+

I wished there were a way without any external software on both mac and win. On win I got a working way using wget but idk how it will be with the licensing, have to read some about it. But I might use cURL on Mac then at least.

Thanks!

I found a piece of code that imported the mainSource-file and checked if it’s a movie or a still image. Worked perfect for me!

var importFile = File(app.project.selection[0].mainSource.file);
var importOptions = new ImportOptions(importFile);
var theImport = app.project.importFile(importOptions);
if (theImport.mainSource.isStill) alert("it's a still");
else alert("it's a movie");
theImport.remove();

After working with my script I found out that eval wasn’t the best solution, it’s much better to use JSON.parse. That way you really read the json as it’s suppose to be read. Eval only converts the code into readable javascript-code so it’s not json at all.

It worked! I tried with underfined before and it didn’t work. I thought that if nothing is selected, .selection can’t exists and there for be undefined, but I was wrong. Thanks!

Then I’ll go with that. Thanks!

I found my solution. I put “endofloop:” before the loop I had to break trough and in my else I added “break endofloop;”

function addToRenderQueue() {
if (folder.exists) {
*******
for (var i = 0; selectedID.length > i; i++) {
*******
endOfLoop:
if (selectedCompItem instanceof CompItem) {
*******
} else {
*******
if (selectedCompItem.mainSource.file != undefined) {
*******
} else {
*******
break endOfLoop;
}
}

}
}
}

While!! How could I forget while! The code worked perfectly! Thanks!

So there is no way at the moment to make Media Encoder get specific settings without the user changing?

Ahhhh! I feel so stupid not thinking about it -.- Thanks!
