Could be.. I am looking into that!!

I was looking for the same script but didn’t find something similar so I wrote a quick and dirty solution. Works only with custom paths and creates a keyframe at current time (can be removed with further code)

function Path() {
    var selectedLayers = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers;
    for (var x = selectedLayers.length - 1; x >= 0; x--) {
        var currentLayer = selectedLayers[x];
        var Path = currentLayer.property("ADBE Root Vectors Group").property("ADBE Vector Group").property("ADBE Vectors Group").property("ADBE Vector Shape - Group").property("ADBE Vector Shape")
        Path.selected = true;
        app.executeCommand(2701);
        app.executeCommand(2387);
    }
}
Path();

Hi Walter
Thank you so much. That worked wonderfully, Indexes are now doing good. Still after I delete the key-frames of a property the selection is lost.

for (var x = selectedLayers.length – 1; x >= 0; x–) {

var currentLayer = selectedLayers[x];
var SelectedProp = currentLayer.selectedProperties;

for (var i = SelectedProp.length – 1; i >= 0; i–) {

var currentProp = SelectedProp[i];
var keySelection = currentProp.selectedKeys;

for (var k = keySelection.length – 1; k >= 0; k–) {

currentProp.removeKey(keySelection[k]);
}
}
}

Any ideas what may be the issue

Hi Walter
I am stuck.

I tried looping backwards for everything, one by one (all first, or comp and the property and vice-versa) nothing seemed to work. Just forwards and as you said the index changes.
To see If i am doing something wrong I tried removing layers something super basic:

for ( var i = selectedLayers.length ; i != 0 ; i–) {
selectedLayers[i].remove();
}

and also

for ( var i = selectedLayers.length ; i > 0 ; i–) {
selectedLayers[i].remove();
}

This does not work. Is after having a bug ? IT WORKS when operand i =1 and of course it wont remove one of the selected.

any ideas why is this happening when looping backwards.

Thank you Mark
I checked the script, I love how he approaches the issue. But there is no selected keys option. That is why I am doing it.

I will try what Walter said, hopefully it will work for all selected keyframes no matter how many properties and layers are selected.

Thanks!!

Yes Dave you just said it, it is s a very specialized field and it is necessary to animate at precise given times. Thanks for the concern

[Sebastian Moreno]

its to move keys to a specific time in milliseconds,secs or frames.. the button is connected to a calculator that will adjust to the frame rate and you would be able to move to any desired time and then move the selected keys to that specific time.
I finding myself with doing that hundreds of time and having to calculate a given time in milisecs from frames and move keys from multiple layers . This will save an incredible amount of time, instead of selecting frames from one layer then go to time input field time +/- the time frames or milisecs and then pasting them and now for the rest off the layers.

Hi Dave
I doing a script to remove selected keys… it is actually to move keys, so what it does until now is copy and paste selected the keys with the interpolation but after I need to delete the selected keys but I only know the removeKey() utility, and after effects deselects the keys after deleting one. If there is something like cut and paste keyframes via script that would solve all.

Thanks

Hi
here there is a good script for it

Ohhh Mike thank you
I didn’t know about this active syntax and the combination of addKey and setValue.

Brilliant.
Thanks again
