The answer might be no.

But let’s see what the boffins have to offer.

I currently have to export 100+ files and they have lengthy titles, but it’s essentially 15-20 different aspect ratios, such as;

5x 1920×1080
12x 1080×1920
3x 1080×1080

and so on and so on.

But I only need to export them once, but it takes time to copy and paste each title from a…

Hi Aris,

Thank you for this. Thought I’d at least reply late on haha.

I wasn’t as experienced back in 2017 with scripting.

I was working for a central station providing graphics to all the individual stations. They had to create quick graphics. So i built templates that allowed them to do this. They were also gits who didn’t know how to use after and…

Unless there’s a tidier way, I think I found something that I’ve altered that appears to work.

minDur = .5;

maxDur = 1;

t = tPrev = inPoint;

seedRandom(index,true);

while (t <= time){

tPrev = t;

t += random(minDur,maxDur);

}

s = random(100,300);

[s,s]

Possibly no solution, but i’m going to chuck it out there.

I want to randomly scale my text, but I don’t want it to just be every 1 second, 2 seconds etc. The below works fine if I want it to change every second.

seed = Math.floor(time/1);

seedRandom(seed,true);

s = random(100,150);
[s,s]

Is there a way to randomly change this bit?

seed =…

Hey Sami,

Not too sure what you might be having trouble with but just incase.

If you’ve copied and pasted into Extendscript, make sure “” aren’t “”. I’ve noticed the code I’ve copied and pasted back then did that has done that. So they’ll need to be swapped. Same goes for ” and ‘’

Once these have been replaced then it should work no problem…

This will help you get started

segDur = 1;

minVal = [0.1*thisComp.width, 0.1*thisComp.height];

maxVal = [0.9*thisComp.width, 0.9*thisComp.height];

seed = Math.floor(time/segDur);

segStart = seed*segDur;

seedRandom(seed,true);

startVal = random(minVal,maxVal);

seedRandom(seed+1,true);

endVal = random(minVal,maxVal);

ease(time,segStart,segStart + segDur,…

It’s because I copied and pasted and my “” changed to ““…And yes that does matter. Now if you copy and paste below. It will work.

var mySelectedItems = [];

for (var i = 1; i <= app.project.numItems; i++){

if (app.project.item(i).selected)

mySelectedItems[mySelectedItems.length] = app.project.item(i);

}

for (var j = 0; j < mySelectedItems.length; j++…

As long are you are changing the anchor point when it’s placed into the comp in the first place.

This should work 🙂

var mySelectedItems = [];

for (var i = 1; i <= app.project.numItems; i++){

if (app.project.item(i).selected)

mySelectedItems[mySelectedItems.length] = app.project.item(i);

}

for (var j = 0; j < mySelectedItems.length; j++) {

var comp…
