If all those steps seems like alot of work you can also try my new script: The LoopMaker™

Don\’t think there is a way to do it both ways dynamically but you could run a script on the \”master\” project that writes the cam info to a text file that the \”slave\” project could read that text file in dynamically through an expression. Harry Frank wrote a tutorial on how to read an external file using expressions https://www.graymachine.com/2009/03/expressions-and-external-documents/

Hi Aleksandrs
We have a script that does exactly that called CompsFromSpreadsheet. Go to aescripts.com and search for it.

Hi Tim,
Unfortunately, in its current implementation, you can’t set a light type through scripting. If you’d like to understand more about scripting I am currently teaching a scripting course. You can find out more about it by going to aescripts

Multi-processing in AE works by launching several copies of After Effects in the background. This generally means that there is a lag time when you first request a multi-proc render. If you are just ram previewing something simple, it will render much quicker MP off. But for your more involved or final render you will probably want to turn MP on, so Throttle makes turning it on and off easy. Otherwise you would need to go into the prefs everytime to do it. Alternatively you could leave MP on but change the amount of processor AE should use for it, so if you are also working in another application like photoshop then you could lower the number of procs AE should use for MP rendering.
Idle-rendering means that AE will continue to render the current frame even if you switch to another application. In it’s default configuration, AE will stop rendering the comp frame if you switch to another application.
PAR quality refers to the quality of the proxy preview AE generates when you are working with non-square pixels footage and comps and you hit the PAR correction button at the bottom of the comp window.
And thanks for catching the trackerViz video. We are changing how we host our videos and forgot to switch those two.

Throttle allows you to quickly switch preferences without having to into the preferences section of AE. You can switch multi-processor on and off, switch the color depth of the project in one click, as well as as few others.
Basically this script is handy is you tend to push AE to it’s limits.

You might need to hard-refresh your browser. Otherwise here’s a link to the same movie on vimeo:

You need to add the property first using the PropertyGroup addProperty() method

Nope, not an adjustment layer. And I just found out that it’s doing it at full res as well. Gonna try turning openGL on now.
