I need to have them all in same project, and correct name that will be same both the one visible in the project items and of the source. Even if the names gets replaced correctly that way, i still need to have all the variations of the sequences and their varied sources in same project. But i get it, that Premiere is lacking such feature and i would lie if i would say i am shocked. Thanks for the reply.

Lets say i have sequence with a layer that have cuts of video footage. Each such clip have its start and end time trimmed. Once i change source of these clips by selecting them all and drag and dropping new video with ALT key pressed, they all gets replaced well, but they loose the trim information and all starts with the very beginning of the new source video, insetad of some particular trimmed start point that was present before the replacement of the source. Is there a way to go around that? Its pain in the back to cut and trim each clip again just because their source video is different, but it should be cut and trimmed exactly the same way. Replacing file in project panel as someone suggested online (havent tried), is not a solution to my problem as i need to have several sequences where each uses its own video as the source of that cut and trimmed layer and very specific file name. I need to duplicate the sequence and replace the source to one of the imported files, without altering whats in other duplicates of the sequence.

I have similar issue. Happens in bigger psb projects with artboards. It happens even after just moving some objects. The area they occupy turns into solid white rectangle, untill i hide and unhide the layers. Frustrating and makes work almost impossible, when to see the change you have to toggle visibility of layers for photoshop to re-render the area... ANd i have geforce drivers up to date.

Yeah its some sort of anomaly. I cant find a reason why it happens aswell. I mean, in other project, where i have used it first time, it worked fine. I was suprised that when used in other project it started malfunctioning, and even when i have created fresh, new project, it was still malfunctioning. I will play around in spare time with other suggestions, but i have tried some attempts to force treatment as a string and replacement of the placeholder separator with space after the text is generated, and it did not fix the issue. Will keep trying to find a way or a reason why it happens. For now i have just moved the numbering part in front of the "stuff" as a workaround that works.

When i am using expression like the one below, it works well in other enviroments, but in After effects the line highlighted below the whole expression, whenever have spacebar between the "i" and "timeString" values messes up the order of concatenation. markerTexts = "";
if (thisLayer.marker.numKeys > 0) {
for (i = 1; i <= thisLayer.marker.numKeys; i++) {
markerTime = thisLayer.marker.key(i).time;
markerTime = Math.round(markerTime);
var minutes = Math.floor(markerTime / 60);
var seconds = markerTime - minutes * 60;
var timeString = (minutes < 10 ? "0" : "") + minutes + ":" + (seconds < 10 ? "0" : "") + seconds;
var markerText = "stuff " + (i < 10 ? "0" : "") + i + ": " + timeString + "\n";
markerTexts += markerText;
}
}
markerTexts; the line where spacebar messes order of output text that uses this variable (look at the colon between "i" and "timeString"): var markerText = "stuff " + (i < 10 ? "0" : "") + i + ": " + timeString + "\n"; Here is text with text source generated by expression without spacebar (the numbering of stuff is glued to time codes which is hardly readable): And here is text after i add spacebar to colon (using code just like the one pasted in this post): It completely messes up the order - its nothing like in the variable, and it even kind of reverse it (we have colon before the number and even spacebar before the colon, even tho spacebar is after colon in string used in concetanation)  Any idea what is causing it? I have tried multiple ways of concetanation (damn this hard word), and even tried to use different string as separator, and then replacing it outside the loop, but no matter what, whenever the expression gets spacebar there it behaves same way. Whats making AE behave like this? Question number 2: Is there a way to make expression force character spacing/tracking to set value only for lets say character that is 5th from the left in each line? I thought about using that insetad of spacebar separator. Thanks in advance for any help.

I am thinking about creating a code that would count number of markers on particular layer and then get their time codes to be accessed by other code. Is it possible in After Effects without plugins etc? If yes, could someone please guide me to some useful info about it (using markers data in code/expressions). Thanks in advance!

Any news about this? Im completly lost now how After is setting assets paths. While collecting files it seems to only set new absolute path for as long as its on my PC. Whenever i copy the source file outside of its original "nested" position on my drive to completely different folder or desktop, without the footage folder, it still sees the assets, and after clicking reveal in explorer shows the file under the old path (path set after last "collect files"). Yet, when we migrate collected files from PC to PC, to completely different paths on different drives, AFter seems to find them in the Footage folder. I dont get it. DOes it search for missing files in local "Footage" folder only whenever initial absolute path is invalid or what?

Same issue. And proposing resetting all settings as a solution isnt really helping. We do set tones of settings on purpose, and re-setting it all over again is waste of time (money). We should try to find a reason why the guides are black, even tho in settings they are default cyan.

@coredumperrorJust because you dont use the 0-100 slider very carefully choosing quality/weight doesnt mean "noone does". When working with ads, publishers sometimes have very strict weight limits - different countries, different publishers, and its often gymnastics with weight optimization, like detail reduction, masked blur and so on, combined with that 0-100 JPG slider to salvage most quality out of the small weight limit. And very often 1% makes a difference when you are dealing with salvaging diseaster in quality.

For the love of God, why fixing stuff that works well... T_T Why every photoshop update must have this forcefully pushed changes that are always horrible like this one? Taking away more and more control from the user, and trying to turn proffesional tool into casual instagram-filters-like dumbed down software step by step? 😞 (I assume intention was to take away 1-100 quality slider and replace it with 1-7 steps slider, but something went wrong - aka without quality assurance step?)

I mean using it (lunching script) during work in Photoshop while working on commercial projects, while there is no license information given on github. I cant find a way to contact the author. I understund that people just use such public scripts and its most likely the intention of the author, but would like to get confirmation.

Hello! I have noticed on github there is no license info. Is there something that would hint that these scripts are free to use in commercial workflows? I know that for many all public github scripts and codes are pretty much open source, and in case of PS scripts basically there is no way to tell if someone used some of these scripts or not, and most people make github stuff public to share it, but recently i have read that if there is no license info, it defaults to copyrighted, and I would prefer to know its all legit, if I would share the workflow, mentioning the use of one of these scripts in it. Also i am no lawyer so i cant tell how big difference it is between using publicly posted script as a tool or having some other part of code inside my product. Logically there are completly different uses, but legally with no license both can lead to potential, unpleasant consequences. Will appreciate any information on this matter.

Thanks! Oh, I was testing it with importing new ones, just like the one before. Will try to test it again later today with objects already in document, maybe that was the reason. (Not sure if its relevant but was testing on Windows - will mention it here just in case).

Daaamn! Initial quick tests' results are perfect!! Not only it works, but also you managed to come up with it so quickly! Will try to test it further, and will get back to you if I will encounter problems. So far it works perfectly! Thank you so much! Kudos to you! I can imagine usefullness of it's side feature, that if you already have some objects on layers and would like to do exact same thing, without placing new ones. But even without it its glorious time saver for me as it is now! 🙂 Thanks again!

Thank you. I will try to play with it in next free moment (cant test right now). I am not very familiar with Photoshop DOM or the scripting. I mean i somewhat understund the script when i read it, and i am already using some PS scripts in my work, but i am no programmer. To answer your question about how would i like the automated workflow to work at this step (i will write the close-to-perfect solution here): - I would drag multiple images with varied sizes and empty space inside them into photoshop document - I would select all these new layers with placed images - I would select box on the document - I would like to use script to make these images fit into the selected box (or a rectangular shape on different layer if thats easier to script), ignoring empty space of these smart objects. So basically center non-empty pixels content for each selected layer's inside the box (PS can do that already) and scale them individually inside that box to touch closest border, be it vertical or horizontal (to fit with maximum possible size of each smartobject, but dont go beyond selected box or rectangular boundary with objects' non-empty pixels)

I have a lot of work to do where i have many different smart objects, that dont always fill their entire document sizes (have a lot of empty space inside them). My workflow requires putting them all inside the document on different layers, and then moving and scaling them to fit the set boundaries. What I am missing is a way to automatically scale them all up, to individually optimal sizes, so their content (not entire smart object) scales to fit set boundary area inside PSD or at least the document they are placed in, so i can then scale them all together in standard way (right now placed PSDs as smart objects automatically try to fit the document dimensions they are placed in, but take into calculation also the unwanted empty space inside them). In short, something similar to centering multiple smart objects vertically and horizontally (which takes into account only non-empty pixels to determine the object's real content), but something that would also scale to fit into area i set for it or at least scale it up to fit document they were placed into, disregarding the empty space inside them. Does anyone know any script that would do that? edit: Functionality like Photoshop's "resize image during place" in general settings is what would help, if only there was a way to make it ignore empty pixels of placed objects. edit2: Current workaround for me is to first run through the documents that i am goign to place into my main PSD, and automatically export them with "trim" enabled. Then after placing them, they are all placed with the default "fit" to document size. Would prefer a way at least without that step, as it seems pretty easy to script, considering the photoshop's centering vertically/horizontally already ignores empty pixels in smart objects. Thanks a lot in advance!

If you create such simple workflow to "change format" -> "batch rename", you get 2 problems: 1. "change format" dont have option to remove metadata (like 'export as jpg' do have), so you end up with JPGs many times larger than what they should be (like 10MB insetad of 700KB in many cases). 2. the batch rename, new extension just creates duplicate of the file with new extension, so you then have to additionally clean up, by removing the .jpeg ones, but i dont see a way to make this cleanup automatic in workflow. I have recently discovered bridge, and its a handy tool, but the lack of customization of the workflows is heavy. Its is very crude.

If I recall well, it wasnt working as intended at the time i have posted my issue and the threads got merged - i believe that at that point in time the legacy export setting didn't do the trick, hence so many people were posting about it. Might be wrong tho, cause it was quite some time ago since i have been forced to use older version to retain that funcitonality, so i wont argue, but as i said i dont think thats the case.

I now have the option to succesfully export masked area again with dimensions equal to mask dimensions, without forced cropping to first non-transparent pixels. That solves my exporting issues.

Thanks for making me play with it more. I forgot to make the mask while testing. Can now confirm that after selecting legacy export in export settings, and making mask, it works as we got used to. Didnt had to relaunch the PS after changing setting. P.S. At least with the 23.1.1 on windows 11.

I have noticed someone having that problem on AE localised FB group and decided to test for myself, and indeed there is some issue here. I have created simple compositions with just a shape coloured red. TO be precise its #D71414 I have then duplicated the composition so one is 512x512 and other is 640x640. WHen i export it as H264 mp4 the one with dimensions 512x512 gets its colour changed. WHen i have tested QuickTime mov the color remains true on both dimensions. If i then convert mov into mp4 without touching After Effects, color gets switched again on the 512x512 composition. Is there a way to prevent it on smaller videos that must be mp4?

In previous versions if i wanted to export for example multiple images in different places on a 300x600 area of the project/and later on png i would just give them all mask that covers entire project and export. With new version they behave like if there would be no mask and are being closely cropped by the exporter. This way i am losing information on the exact places they should be on for example on my 300x600 html. Thats a downgrade. (just as removing the JPG compression slider and turning it into few predefined steps - why dumbing down the proffesional software? Most of us arent amateurs that wants simple toys - we want control - the more, the better).
