After Effects ExtendScript Training: Ep. 19 Part 2

August 11th 2012 08:30:26am

In this episode:

  • Build function to retrieve all fonts used in project with option to remove duplicate names.
  • Build function to easily retrieve a text layer’s justification setting.
  • Build function to easily retrieve a layer’s blending mode setting.

Welcome to episode 19 part 1 of 2, the final episode of the After Effects ExtendScript Training series.

We end with making a handy function that can retrieve all fonts used in your project. If you have ever recieved or collected a project, this can help inform you of what fonts you would need. There are some limitations.

Retrieve text layer justification settings, and retrieve layer blending mode settings will also help you get familiar with accessing other data from text and layers.

With this final episode, I would like to thank my family, friends, and everyone who showed their support and patience. This series started out as just a mind map file on my iPad back in 2012 and bloomed very quickly into something so much more than I was expecting. I am so happy that many of you are finding this series helpful and I appreciate all the feedback you have given. Please continue to spread the word about this valuable, free, learning tool. Now it’s back into the think tank for me to develop the next series idea.

With that, let us travel our last hour and eighteen minutes of the roughly sixteen hour journey that we’ve taken since April. Thank you all again.
