Hi everyone, I’m fetching data from database with curl (system.callSystem), and data encoding is UTF-8. When I fetch data it returns wrong data. For example, correct should be: ‘Aïn Beïda’ but it returns ‘Aïn Beïda’. I tried fetching same exact command in terminal and the encoding is correct, seems like extendscript is doing something weird…

Worked like a charm! Thank you so much Dan!!!

Excellent. Now imagine, Dan, that instead of marker, I have numeric value, or boolean. If value !=0 (at certain time – valueAtTime I guess, it needs to check every frame in the composition layer), activate the script you wrote. You said it’s difficult, but doable.

Dan, I hope you could shed some light one this one 🙂 I made it work if I have markers (which I put with a script), but every time I change the precomped animation, I would need to put hundreds of markers on hundreds of layers with a script, which takes a lot of time for every little change I make in animation. So, my only solution would be to do…

No, I tried. it’s not a good result.

I will try to explain what I want to achieve, maybe it will be easier to understand. I have a precomp of bulb/led footage turning on. In a main comp I have an array of led lights which have an expression sampleImage from a different comp, trying to achieve led display. I have everything figured out, except that I don’t want light to abruptly turn…

Let’s say s is just a numeric value. if(s > 0) {do the rest}

Hi, I’m having a comp with timeRemap (light animation, bulb turns on). What I’m trying to achieve is to trigger timeRemap on if statement, if value, timeRemap plays. Now the problem is timeRemap is triggered, but only one (first) frame, not the whole animation it should play. On each trigger, the final effect is either 1 or 0 (timeRemap), but it…

Anyone?

Hi, I cannot seem to figure out how to do certain actions after rendering is done. For example, when I render a mov file, I want it to import it, and I have figured that one out (PostRenderAction.IMPORT), but I also want new comp to be created or anything other in after effects via scripting. I tried with RQItemStatus.DONE, but it seems that this…

aaaaa, thanks a lot, finally! salams!! 🙂

any ideas anyone?

Hi, quick question. I really cannot find a way to do this with the script

Calling this plus (+) in effect’s composition settings.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Just one question, is it possible to rewrite this for a script? If it’s in expression I have to convert expression to keyframes and all that pain… Thanks!

It’s latest AE, but switching to javascript did the trick. It’s working, thank you so much, it’s actually working without text box, just regular text. I really really appreciate this Filip, thank a lot!

Wow, thanks a lot, the problem is (since this is too high stuff for me, just started learning javascript/extendscript last year), is that I get an error, “> does not have a value” in (a=> a.length); Am I doing something wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is a non-profit project where there would be thousands of these text boxes and I really want them to look decent without the need to correct all 6000ish of them. Thanks again! 🙂

Hi guys, I’ve been trying to solve a certain problem for two days without any success. Let’s say I have text variable

var text = “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Etiam rutrum sapien ultrices sapien condimentum, et congue risus placerat.”

And I want to apply it to boxText (paragraph text)

I get something like on attached…
