Awesome, thanks Dan!

[Ole Peters]

Works!
Thank you so much, Dan

How do I implement that into the script so I get the alarm?

The whole thing looks like that right now:

function AtA(thisObj)
{

//==================
var version = '1';
//==================

var palette = (thisObj instanceof Panel) ? thisObj : new Window('palette','AtA',undefined, {resizeable:true});
palette.orientation = 'stack';
palette.alignChildren = ['fill','fill'];

function addHGroup(container){
var groupe = palette.add('group');
groupe.alignChildren = ['fill','fill'];
groupe.orientation = 'row';
groupe.spacing = 10;
groupe.margins = 3;
return groupe;
}
var bottomGroup = addHGroup('mainGroup');
bottomGroup.alignment = ['fill','bottom'];

{
var trimCompURL = bottomGroup.add ('statictext',undefined,'Custom');
trimCompURL.alignment = ['right','bottom'];
}

var guiP = palette.add('group');
guiP.orientation = 'column';
guiP.alignChildren = ['fill', 'fill'];
var tcB = guiP.add('tabbedpanel', undefined, '');
var tabContent1 = tcB.add('tab', undefined, 'Convert');
var tabB = tabContent1.add('button', undefined, 'Convert dat shit!');
tabB.size = [100,50];
tabB.alignment = ['center', 'center'];
var tabContent2 = tcB.add('tab', undefined, 'Version & Credits');
tabContent2.add('statictext', undefined, ' -- ' + 'AtA v' + (version) + ' -- ' + '\n\n' , {multiline:true});

tabB.onClick = function () {
function main(){
var myComp = app.project.activeItem;

var newSliderControl = myComp.layer("Audio Amplitude").property("Effects").addProperty("ADBE Slider Control");
newSliderControl.name = "Accum";
var mySlider = newSliderControl.property("Slider");
var spdSlider = myComp.layer("Audio Amplitude").property("Effects").property("Both Channels").property("Slider");

var accum = 0;
mySlider.setValueAtTime(spdSlider.keyTime(1),accum);
for (var i = 2; i <= spdSlider.numKeys; i++){
accum += (spdSlider.keyValue(i) + spdSlider.keyValue(i-1))/2;
mySlider.setValueAtTime(i*myComp.frameDuration,accum);

}
}
var selLayer = app.project.activeItem;
if (selLayer.selectedLayers.length == 0){
alert ("No layer selected.");
return;

}

main();
}

guiP.hide();
function loadAtA() {
guiP.show();
}
loadAtA();

palette.layout.layout(true);
palette.layout.resize();
palette.onResizing = palette.onResize = function () { this.layout.resize(); }
if (!(thisObj instanceof Panel)) palette.show();

return palette;

}

AtA(this);

If I try to put it in there it still adds the Accum Slider but you can still add another one and another one, I have to get into scripts more..

Works perfectly! Thank you, Dan!

One last question, how do I check if the Accum slider is already on a layer?
I’ve thought about something like this:

tabB.onClick = function () {
function main(){
var myComp = app.project.activeItem;

var newSliderControl = myComp.layer("Audio Amplitude").property("Effects").addProperty("ADBE Slider Control");
newSliderControl.name = "Accum";
var mySlider = newSliderControl.property("Slider");
var spdSlider = myComp.layer("Audio Amplitude").property("Effects").property("Both Channels").property("Slider");

var accum = 0;
mySlider.setValueAtTime(spdSlider.keyTime(1),accum);
for (var i = 2; i <= spdSlider.numKeys; i++){
accum += (spdSlider.keyValue(i) + spdSlider.keyValue(i-1))/2;
mySlider.setValueAtTime(i*myComp.frameDuration,accum);

}
}
var selLayer = app.project.activeItem;
if (selLayer.selectedLayers.length == 0){
alert ("No layer selected.");
return;

}
var dCheck = selLayer.property("Effects").property("Accum").property("Slider");
if (dCheck == selLayer.property("Effects")){
alert("Accum is already applied.");
}

main();
}

Everything works until I add the part with the dCheck to tell me that Accum is already applied.
Any ideas?

So, theres absolutely no other way of adding up values with an expression?
Hm.

My After Effects crashes when I try to convert the expression to keyframes and I don’t really want to use soundkeys because I would have to change the whole file.

[Ole Peters]

Awesome, works perfectly!
Thank you soo much Dan!

[Ole Peters]

Since no one replied yet and I’m still hoping for at least Dan to reply I thought I’d rewrite the question. I really need to get that script to work, so please..

I have a Project file with multiple compositions, 2 of those named “Music” and “Main”.
I’m in the Music composition and the script is supposed to be executed inside of the Music composition while having the song layer selected. Now I want the script to take the length of the song layer and trim the Main composition to the length of the song. Also, onClick doesn’t seem to work.
I have a basic GUI with a button and the onClick line would be for example this:
tabContainer1.onClick = function () {alert("Hello World")} I don’t get anything though, when pressing the button.

Again, I really need to get this to work and would really really appreciate if someone could help me out with this..

[Ole Peters]

Oh!
I did, but I used it wrong.
Thank you very much Dan!

Ole

[Ole Peters]

Works like a charm! You are awesome Dan!
I kind if feel like a douche now, I forgot to say that a little treshold in the expression would be good. Is it possible to add it in the expression?
I’m really sorry, I forgot it completely.

Ole

[Ole Peters]

The Expression I use is
temp = transform.position[0];
temp1 = transform.position[1];
temp2 = transform.position[2]+time*20;

[temp , temp1 , temp2]

So the Camera is moving forward on the Z axis.
I added your expression like this:
temp = transform.position[0];
temp1 = transform.position[1];
temp2 = transform.position[2]+time*20+YourExpression;

[temp , temp1 , temp2]
Assuming that it’ll accelerate the Camera on a beat of the Audio Amplitude.
