Thanks for responding. Is the alt-click suggestion you made a Mac thing? Because it doesn’t work in Windows 11.
What I’m trying to do is eliminate the need to click and go through a menu or menus to change the selected keyframes’ spatial interpolation from bezier to linear.
I was able to successfully create a script that I assigned to a KB shortcut to change the spatial interpolation of all selected keyframes from linear to bezier.
It’s the reverse of that process that I’m looking for. Seems like it should be easy to just modify the working script to reverse itself, but apparently, it is not.
Again, thanks for your reply.

You can export your sequenced PNG files into a video.
Then re-import the video back into after effects. Create a timeline based on the video, then right click on the video and choose scene edit detection from the drop-down menu. This will create an AE timeline with all of your individual shots sequenced end to end, with each on a separate layer.
Select all the layers in the timeline. Move your CTI to the beginning of the timeline and press the left bracket key to move all the layer s to the start of the timeline.
Move your CTI to 12 frames and with all the layers selected, press Alt or Option right bracket to trim all the layers to be 12 frames long.
With all the layers selected. GO to the top screen menu and select Animation>keyframe assistant>sequence layers. Set the duration to 6 frames, and you can choose from the two dissolve transition styles to see which you like better.

The video above explains how to get ChatGPT to generate an AE script and how to install it in AE for testing.
NOTE: I M NOT A CODER, SO UNFORTUNATELY, YOU CANNOT ASK FOR MY HELP. I JUST HAD PREVIOUSLY SEEN THE VIDEOS LOOSELY RELATED TO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO AND SO I SENT WHAT I SENT. GOOD LUCK.
Below is a ChatGPT generated script using a slightly modified prompt based on what you asked for. You might want to go to Chap GPT and try some of your own prompts there. Remember, you can tell ChatGPT what worked and what didn’t and ask it to modify it. You might want to save each coding created because when modifying prompts, ChatGPT occasionally goes too far off course or misunderstands what you were saying worked and what you were asking to modify. Saving previousl generated code that at least partially worked is kind of like saving an undo list
1. Gather Essential Information:
- Available Colorama Presets: List the specific preset palettes you want to include in the menu.
- Target Layer(s): Determine the layer(s) where the Colorama effect should be applied and controlled by the menu.
- MOGRT Integration: Decide how you’ll integrate the menu into the MOGRT’s Essential Graphics panel.
2. Script Structure:
<code-block _nghost-ng-c51771041=”” ng-version=”0.0.0-PLACEHOLDER”>
JavaScript
<pre _ngcontent-ng-c51771041=””><code _ngcontent-ng-c51771041=”” role=”text”>// Define function to create the menu
function createColoramaMenu() {
// Create menu object
var menu = new Menu();// Add menu items for each preset (replace with actual presets)
menu.addItem(“Preset 1”);
menu.addItem(“Preset 2”);
// …// Define menu behavior when a preset is selected
menu.onSelect = function(item) {
// Apply the selected preset to the target layer(s)
applyPreset(item.text);
};// Display the menu
menu.show();
}// Function to apply a preset to the target layer(s)
function applyPreset(presetName) {
// Get the target layer(s)
var targetLayer = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0]; // Adjust for multiple layers// Apply or modify Colorama effect based on preset
if (targetLayer.hasEffect(“Colorama”)) {
// Modify existing effect
var coloramaEffect = targetLayer.effect(“Colorama”);
// … set preset values based on presetName
} else {
// Apply new effect
targetLayer.applyEffect(“Colorama”);
// … set preset values based on presetName
}
}// Example usage:
createColoramaMenu();Use code with caution. Learn more
</code-block><code-block _nghost-ng-c51771041=”” ng-version=”0.0.0-PLACEHOLDER”></code-block>
3. MOGRT Integration:
- Dropdown Menu Control: Use the “Dropdown Menu Control” effect in your MOGRT composition to create the menu UI.
- Link Menu to Script: In the “Dropdown Menu Control” effect’s settings, link the “On Selection Change” property to the
createColoramaMenufunction.4. Testing and Refinement:
- Thorough Testing: Test the script extensively to ensure it works as expected in different scenarios.
- Customization: Adjust the script and MOGRT integration to fit your specific needs.
5. Troubleshooting:
- Error Handling: Implement error handling to catch potential issues and provide feedback to users.
- Debugging: Use debugging tools (like
alert()or the ExtendScript Toolkit) to identify and fix any problems.Remember:
- Expressions: You’ll likely need to use expressions to link the menu selection to the Colorama effect’s properties within the MOGRT.
- MOGRT Best Practices: Follow Adobe’s guidelines for creating MOGRTs for optimal compatibility and user experience.

I get this when attempting to play the clip. I’m thinking the video clip is corrupt, but wanted to know if anyone had seen this since it’s apparently not in Avid’s usually comprehensive knowledgebase.

Shane,
ir computer
Thanks for your quick response. So if they AMA link to files on thnee sair computers and then send me their projects, I can relink the clips in their bins to the same QT files on my computer? Seems logical, but I have had trouble doing this, too. Are there other gotchas I have to look out for in this situation, too? I guess my other choice is to import the media once myself and give all the students the exact same mxf file folders to work with. Which would you suggest? -
Thanks, but how do you load them into premiere on another computer?

Well, that would be good. Let’s hope it’s a full-featured camera like the af100, and priced and featured to beat the fs100, fs700, c100. They could also put out a camera to compete in the c300, f3, f5 space, too. avc-intra instead of avchd at all levels, please, and why not an external recorder with avc-intra to compete with the mish-mash of prores (dead), dn x hd, mpeg2, and uncompressed recorders out there?
