I’m working on OSX and the newest version of AE. Once the plugin is done, I’ll be testing it on different systems/versions.

So for you on windows 7 the code you wrote, didn’t work?

[Jakob Wagner]

Xavier, THANK YOU! It works perfectly. 🙂
I really appreciate it.

[Jakob Wagner]

Yes. Of course… 🙂 Thanks.

Did actually try it, but did something else wrong.

Hi Xavier

Thank you very much for taking the time. This is great info!

Have an awesome day,
Jakob

Alright. Thank you for the warning. I have changed this line:
propPath = “(‘”+prop.name+”‘)”+propPath;
to this line:
propPath = “(“+prop.propertyIndex+”)”+propPath;

And it works too. Is that better?

Can I ask you one last question? I’m using “prop.parentProperty” to detect if the property is a layer. A layer does not have a parent. Is there a better way of doing that? I tried instanceof, but I couldn’t get it to work.

[Jakob Wagner]

I knew it, it was a trap!
Thank you Xavier. Now it makes better sense.

For other interested I ended up with this code, which works. (for now)

function testButtonClick()
{
var comp = app.project.activeItem;
var layers = comp.selectedLayers;
var layer = layers[0];
var selectedProperties = comp.selectedProperties;
var property = selectedProperties[0];

var propPath = getPropPath(property);
var prop = eval("layer.property"+getPropPath(property));
alert(prop.value)
}

function getPropPath(prop)
{
var layerRoot = false;
var propPath = "";

while(prop.parentProperty)
{
propPath = "('"+prop.name+"')"+propPath;
prop = prop.parentProperty;
}
return propPath;
}

Like this. 😉

var len = l.effect.numProperties;
for(var i=0;g

[Jakob Wagner]

AWESOME! Thanks. 🙂

Is it possible to somehow make a preset from the colorista II and aply it to colorista II?

[Jakob Wagner]

Hi

1. Create the five layers. 😉

2. Create a null and rename it to “control”.

3. Create a expression control slider on the null.

4. Rename the slider to “Turnus”.

5. Insert this code in the Opacity property in all the five layers:


var totalLayers = 5;
var layerIndex = 0;
var visible = thisComp.layer("control").effect("Turnus")("Slider")>100/totalLayers*layerIndex;
opacity = visible?100:0;


6. Layer index on the first layer is 0. Next layer is 1, etc..

Drag/animate the slider from 0 to 100.

Hope it helps.
