That’s wonderful Gerald! Your effect looks amazing too and I learned from it as well. I’ve never done effects this way and didn’t know it’s possible. I need to play around with it for sure. 😀

No worries Gerald, it’s also a learning journey for me!
I’ve edited a V03 script. This time it’s not based on names but selection. In order for the script to run, you need to have layer 0 selected like in the image, before running the script. This script will create a new “MasterComp-Script” Composition and the layers will be compiled there.
You can test this to see if things work, before changing the language to english as that should be quite a hassle.
Fingers crossed! -
I’ve never actually scripted for another language before and upon googling, it does show that ae has some sort of language barriers for scripts/expressions. Learning something new everyday!
There are 2 ways to handle things for now. Would you be able to change your language to english before executing the script? If not, if we could force our way through by items idexing instead of item names, it should work. -
I just tested on my big sur, and it works too. Let’s not give up yet. I’ve added more checks in V02. Let’s try it on the .aep that I’ve sent you. Also, can you make sure that you allow scripts to write files and access networks just incase?
-
Here’s your original file, I just deleted Comps 1 to 50 in the folder “Unbenannt 1” you can try it on this. If it doesn’t work, maybe I shouldn’t be lazy and add more checks in the script before handing over to you. haha
-
File didn’t get through the first time, let me try sending it again!

Hey Gerald. My script only has 47 lines, are you sure that’s my code? Alternatively, why dont you try giving this a try? I saved it as a .jsx for you, you can run it via, File, Scripts, Run script file.

Welcome! Hope this helps! Greetings from Singapore! Just a note, you need to delete whatever you have done for the script to work since it starts from layer”1″. So whatever work you have done, might be wasted.
It took a few seconds for my machine to produce 300 comps, and I’m already on intel i9 10900k with 64gb ram. If you are looking at more than that, I hope your machine can take the hit! 😀 -
Can you tell me more about the “time”:0, “time”:297…. etc?
It jumps by quite a huge margin from 6 to 297. Is it frames or seconds? -
Also, keep in mind that with this script, you can’t have any items with the same name. To prevent problems caused by the same name, more checks need to be added to this script too.
