Well,
to create a paragraph text you need just set an “addBoxText”.
The problem is that in the docs (https://ae-scripting.docsforadobe.dev/layers/layercollection/?highlight=addboxtext#layercollection-addboxtext) the “text” parameter is missing, and without it won’t work.

So, to add point text:
myTextLayer = comp.layers.addText(text);

And for…

Hi.

thanks for the reply.

I’m creating the text layer and inserting the text all by script.

I could split at some white space or insert the r. But one line can have 2 words and 7, then how to know when and where to break the line?

The problem is that I just can see if the line is too long after seeing the screen.

I’d like something similar to the…

Hi.

I’m loading a text file and setting a text layer with each line, but some are too long and exceeding the comp width.

Anyone knows how can I break a line to fit the comp size using expressions?

Is there some way of limiting the sourcRectAtTime or convert the text layer from point text to paragraph tex using an expression?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I developed an Extension using CEP panels and it’s working nicely (on Mac). On Windows, it’s working also, but I have a problem with a window palette that won’t close by any means.
The thing is that my extension is shown by the CEP panels, and while executing its task I’m showing a progress bar using a window palette.

The expected behavior:

Step 1…

Don’t know if I got the point.
What do you mean by the Select, hold Alt replace method?

Selecting the environment from an external file and replacing it in its location with another, renaming it, works as I expect. But since I’m working on a template I’d have to assume that the user has an external file (or could only work with an external file).…

Hi Graham.

No, this would not solve.

What I need is to link the environment set up between two or more layers.

But in the properties controls from Element3D layer, you don’t have access to the environment you choose (e.g.: a great room, or an open landscape) you can access only some environment relative properties.

I asked VideoCopilot support…

Hi.

I have a project with 3 Element layers with the same objects, but with different animations placed in different comps.
I’d like to know if is possible to apply the settings from the scene setup of one of those layers for the others.

For instance, I’d like to use the same environment settings for all layers, but for now, I need to open the scene…

Hi Andrei.

It worked.
Besides using the method recursively for the case of CompItem, I think that the thing is to set the layer outPoint for the CompItem layer.
But it still weird, because for that case I was setting the outPoint for my comps before calling the method.
Thanks for the help anyways.

Yes. All the layers are extended also, ad I’m not using time remapping.
And the problem occurs only with comp layers that already exist in the project or the timeline when I tried to extend the duration.
If I create a comp by script setting the duration, it works normally.
And is recreating the comps via script what I’m doing as a workaround for…

Hi.

I have a script that configures my project and sets the compositions and the duration of their content.

But when a layer it’s another comp, the duration for the comp itself and for its contents are changed, but the content is not showing up after the initial duration length.

For example: by default, my project has a duration = 10s.
When I run…
