Hey Filip,

I think that I have found a solution to this, using regex expression on the source text property. For my use case, I am working with localising comps, where the target language and Latin characters will have different typefaces.

text.sourceText.style.setFont("PingFangTC-Medium");
var textIndex = text.sourceText.length;
var RE = /[a-z_ ]/gi;

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your explanations here. It’s starting to make things a little clear when trying ut use Penner easing in expressions. One question, however.

I have it working with easeInOutExpo, but when I switch out the function to another Penner ease, either the scale of the object increases 100x(ish) or the animation loops.

Any idea where I’m…

Thank you, Filip! This is just what I wanted to achieve!

Hello forum.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to change the decimal point range of a slider control from 0-99 to 0-FPS of the comp? For example if my Comp frame rate is set to 30 and I have a slider applied an effect to a value and I want that effect to occur at 1 second 15 frames, default the slider will read 1.50, but I would like it to read…

Hi Filip,

Thank you so much – all if your suggestions worked.

And yes, compWidth and compHeight are globals within the larger script.

Hello,

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have a script that creates a shape layer with a series of horizontal lines on a single shape layer. These lines will represent a grid.

I have everything working, by manually creating each group and name but trying to shorten my code to create the same result using a loop.

Here’s what I have…

Crisis averted. I moved the add stroke to the bottom of the stack and placed it within it’s own variable. See below for fix

var addLayer = app.project.item(5).layers;
//Add Headline Grid
var addGrid = addLayer.addShape();
addGrid.label = (13);
addGrid.name = ("headline-text-grid");
var group = addGrid.content.addProperty("ADBE Vector Group"); 
group.name…

Hello,

I’m trying to add a a path with a stroke housed in a group. I can create the group and the path inside it, however when I try to add a stroke to the group everything breaks. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I’ve been looking at this for hours and can’t figure out where I’m going wrong.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

Hi Andrei. That worked, thanks so much!!

Hello forum…

Wondering if anyone on here can explain where I’m going wrong here. I have a dockable UI which contains a dropdown list that pulls in all layer names from a specific comp. I kinda have it working, however, the item names in the dropdown are duplicating and combining on each line.

See screenshot and Scrips snippet.

Thanks in advance,…

Thanks Matt,

The weird thing here is that the way I have it structured on the above post, it works sometimes and doesn’t others. I’m using Visual Studio Code and I’m a bit of a noob with it comes to ExtendScript. I cannot figure out what’s going on with it!

Hello all,

Wondering if anyone can point out where I’ve gone wrong here. I’m trying to build a basic script that contains a dropdown list, EditText box and a button.

Everything below is working, apart from my width and height inputs which are returning as “Undefined”.

Thanks in advance,

Ronan
