and for many types of work, precomping comes with substantical tradeoffs. again, accessing multiple types of elements directly in the same timeline is the fastest, most intuitive way to work.

then just forget the labels or storing selecitons. at least make in and out points selectable so you can move keyframes and in/out points at the same time. is this doable by a script? sort of. it still takes longer than interacting directly with the timline, an experience which cannot be understated.

I spend too much time searching for which timeline elements are associated with corresponding movement in the viewport. Shifting layers, in/out points, and keyframes in time often takes multiple selection passes. And there's no way to store that selection, so they each have to be selected every time they need to be adjusted (and in/out points can't even be selected so they all need to be done separately... every time!). Selectable in/out points and labels/groups for ALL timeline elements--any combination of keyframes, markers, in/out points, and layers--would strengthen the visual connection between the timeline and the viewport AND allow for faster timeline adjustment of those grouped movements.

Is there a way to turn on brush stroke smoothing when in the Select and Mask workspace? When using the brush to add or subtract from the mask, I would like to be able to have the stroke smoothing (eg pulled string) feature on. Message was edited by: Sahil Chawla

Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to get the artboards from layers though.

Is there a way to create an artboard for each layer? Currently I have to right click each layer and convert it to an artboard. If I select all of the layers, I only get one artboard instead of an artboard per layer. Thanks, Tom

Yes. First, it would ideally all be done in Photoshop since that's the program I'm going to be working in (less programs is faster). And second, from what I've read, Multiple Records only works in InDesign when all the records are kept on one page. That seems like it might cause me more problems down the road if I'd like to export a multi-page pdf.

Hi Norman, That sounds like a last resort. The files get "baked" ie are no longer linked with the data set, right? That's not what I'm looking for. (But I didn't know about the Load Files into Stack script--that is super handy! Thank you!) Thanks, Tom

I've read through this article about variables in Illustrator (Merge data to create data-driven graphics through templates and variables in Illustrator) and I only see a way to export each record/index from the data set into its own file. However, I would actually like to lay out each record/index in the same document. (I think InDesign has this function called a "Multiple Record" page). Is there any way to do this? Thanks, Tom

Thanks! I ran the script and all but one of the selected layers got grouped into the group above them. I undid that and placed the group below all of the selected layers and ran again. Got a script alert: Error: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop. - The command "Move" is not currently available. I click OK or the x button and a new script alert appears (saying the same thing). I cannot exit Script Alerts...

Hi, I'm looking for a script to order selected layers alphabetically. I'm familiar with Adobe Photoshop Scripts | Trevor Morris Photographics​, but am looking for constraint to selection. I've tried using this script: get array of selected layers in photoshop via extendscript · GitHub in combination, however, I've hit a wall. Thanks, Tom

Thanks c.pfaffenbichler. I had checked out some of those links explaining knock out groups (eg http://sklad.bereza.cz/00-jarda/00_screenshot/2016-01-07_185347.jpg) but was getting some parts of the image coming through that should've been masked. Appreciate the tip!

Hi WILDCAT54. Thanks. Clipping masks are actually not what I'm looking for. Similar, but not quite the same. Thanks again, though!

Thanks Mylenium! Does the screenshot below showing bus/slot help at all? Device manager says 1080 is in bus 1 (slot 4) and 970 is in bus 2(slot 6). Would a pic of their actual physical placement help? I'm pretty sure I set everything up correctly according to the NVIDIA technician over the phone. 1080 was supposed to be in bus 1, he said. But I'm not certain... Also, the 1080, and *not* the 970, clearly shows up in the Ae GPU info window. Why the discrepancy between that and the actual usage during render (and aerender screenshot)? I'm hesitant to dig into BIOS/EFI since that can sometimes result in a huge time-sink in general, and if it screws something up which I then need to troubleshoot in particular.

I have two GPUs--a new 1080 ti in the main PCIe slot and an older 970 for my monitor. Ae sees the 1080 ti according to the GPU info window in Preferences > Previews. However, when rendering (via the render queue as well as AME), it's the 970 that gets all the usage. Instances of aerender.exe detect only the 970. Is there any way to get Ae to use the 1080? I checked out this Adobe help article on aerender and didn't see a flag or option to detect other GPUs. See attachments for more details. Windows 8.1 Ae CC 2018 (version 15.0) Thanks, Tom

Hi. The shortcut listed here: Default keyboard shortcuts for Illustrator for "Create corner or smooth join" is trying to join points instead of converting the anchor point (from smooth to corner or vice versa). Is the article wrong or outdated? Illustrator CC 2018, macOS (High Sierra) and Windows (8.1) Thanks! Tom

Hi. I have Cintiq and am using a brush with tilt sensitivity. It works well except for one thing. When hovering with the stylus, the cursor image correctly reflects the angle of the stylus. However, when I contact the stylus to the display to start drawing, the cursor freezes it's current angle, and doesn't update until I lift the stylus. I can still change the angle of my brush while drawing, but it's the cursor image of my brush tip that does not reflect that angle. How do I enable this feature so the cursor remains responsive to the tilt? Ps 2018 Windows 8.1 Thanks, Tom

hi shachar. Perfect. Thanks. The panel should update with additional UI elements if new properties/streams are added to the layer (even if those properties are not selected). I was looking at the example AEGP "Streamie" to learn more about detecting/reading streams. Would you still suggest scripts for this behavior? Is the javascript scheduled task much more resource intensive than idle_hook? I thought I saw somewhere that selecting a layer does in fact send a command/event that can be listened to without idle_hook -- can you confirm that it's not possible? I really appreciate your help. Very informative.

I am building a "Properties Panel" plugin, which would be a panel that displays property info about the selected layer, also enabling the user to adjust these values directly from the panel. I've been reading here in the forums and it seems the recommended method of doing anything with panels is the CEP/ScriptUI route. However, I will need AEGP functionality, so how do I get the AEGP and the CEP/ScriptUI to talk to one another? For example, I will need the AEGP to listen for layer selection events, which is not possible with CEP/ScriptUI. Upon layer selection, the panel should populate with UI elements corresponding to layer properties (much like the Effects Control Panel, but for layer properties). I know AEGPs can execute scripts, but can they can actually pass information back and forth (or even in just one direction)? Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tom

Thanks Mylenium. Yea I was doing the marquee deselect but hoping there was a better way. Often not all keyframes of a layer are visible in the timeline to be deselected with the marquee. Not to mention all keyframes of all selected properties. Thanks Roei. I want the property to remain selected (and the keyframes deselected).
