After Effects ExtendScript Training: Ep. 9

June 03rd 2012 08:00:50am

In this episode:

  • Loop through all comps and layers
  • Change all blue solids source color to red
  • Update solid names to correspond to new color

Welcome to episode 9 of the After Effects ExtendScript Training series. We will continue from last week and modify our script even further to search through our project layers for all of our blue solids and change their source color to red. We will also update the blue solid names by replacing the text “blue” with “red”. The core code we will end up with in this script at the end is modifiable and allows you to search through your project items and comp layers to read or change a variety of properties by simply adjusting a few lines of code. If you missed last weeks episode or any of the previous episodes in this series, here are links to those videos right here.
