Ok, small mistake on my side with the mainSource.file vs .file . I am getting error when the filename is beyond 31 characters? Which is really common with 3D passes. Depending on the footage, I would also like it to work with setProxy and setProxyWithSequence. My quest goes on. Thanks for any help.


/// Input values
var width = parseFloat(prompt("Placeholder WIDTH ?"));
var height = parseFloat(prompt("Placeholder HEIGHT ?"));
var frameRate = parseFloat(prompt("Placeholder FRAME RATE ?"));

// Replace with a placeholder and swap to proxy function

app.beginUndoGroup("replace with a placeholder and swap to proxy");

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

var name = app.project.item(i).name;
var duration = app.project.item(i).duration;
var file = app.project.item(i).file;

app.project.item(i).setProxyWithSequence(file,true);
app.project.item(i).replaceWithPlaceholder(name,width,height,frameRate,duration);

}

app.endUndoGroup();
}

alert("Successfully replace");

Hey Scott, Thank you. This is working on his own. I can see where I had it wrong. I had try to swap the MainSource to setProxyWithSequence in the same script, but couldn’t get anything out of the mainSource.file. Any ideas?

Thank you James…
I had the same problem with a project getting huge, nearly 1Gig and taking several minutes to open.
So I did as you did:

Save my project as a xml.
Open the .aepx file with a Text Editor
Delete all the PPRF related stuff that i found in the header of the file.
Save that.
Now my file is only 30mb.

thanks.
Hope it could help others like me.

Thank Paul for your ressources.
I see how this would be easier to format if i had multiple text box, but i try to achieve the less copy&paste from an external document, wich introduce potential errors. If that path doesn’t work, I may go to different text box or tables.

I get the tutorial. Not sure how this could help me.
The two columns are in the same text box. And I want to select just one.

thanks
I’ll look for something like this into Indesign.

My bad,
Find out I was adjusting the 2k plate convegence while monitoring in side by side. I was monitoring in 1080p, so every adjustments were off. Should have take a look at the anaglyph or difference, before outputing.

Sorry about reasking but, I try check the Adobe help, and there seem to be no mention. I don’t think those are like any other guides. I try to hide guide(ctrl+;), select them, they don’t even appear as a sublayer like other guides in Illustrator.
I know those in photoshop are consider as guides and so, are easily removable, but in AI Cs3…
But, I may have miss something in the Help files.

wow..
It work just like i expected. thanks
