Filip thank you for your aid. In testing the script some more, now that new line comes with a new error – l=comp.selectedLayers(i); is sending error – “Function Array is undefined”. So I don’t know if this is the proper logic I put brackets around the iterating variable so it becomes an array – l=comp.selectedLayers[i]; .. But then the following code begins to break. Next line throws an error “undefined is not an object.”

Superb

Incredible, thank you as always.

Thanks Dan. Your alternative makes sense in that I’d be referencing the path directly. But my code is a bit cumbersome. I need eval() to convert my strings into JavaScript expressions. And it does perfectly. But what happens is it pulls the eval() statement into a separate scope away from everything. And it doesn’t even get to listen to the if conditional.

In extendscript it actually forces a new window open, placing the new ‘string’ as a JavaScript statement, evading the if conditional. I’ll have to figure another way. Thank you!

Thank you Dan!!

Hi Michael,

It seems they actually fixed their product. I’ve just been in a whirlwind because a lot of my presets, and projects I was previously working on are now acting funny. Mostly ones with preset displacement. I think I may just reiterate them to work. Thank you!

It’s hard to pilot this thing sometimes

Figured it out – of coarse you need to have the latest update.

Very nice. After effects is like this large spaceship with hidden nuances. Thank you Walter! But I wanted to ask if you would know why this option may not be showing in my viewer?

Thank you Eric. Yes I use the lock workflow as well. But you still need to click in and out of your locked comp. 😢 I’m just looking for a way to not to have to touch anything and always preview a locked comp.
