Here it is: https://youtu.be/OXCNKZnXjeY The two color properties are master properties. The two comps have the same fps.

Hi all, I have a Cep panel which works brilliantly on Windows but I can't make these lines work on MacOS. document.addEventListener('keydown', keyDown); document.addEventListener('keyup', keyUp); I tried with document, window and various elements, I tried jquery and .onmousedown. They just don't work on Mac. Do you have any idea why?

Not sure why they don't develop this feature. It's so simple and basic.

If you are developing an extension you can use node.js to get the same information.

Hi Douglas, I'm not sure which option is more convenient. I'm not confident enough to make the call. I initially thought it had to do with sourceText, but even if it's attached to Application, it would probably work.

Hi Douglas, Thank you for replying! Yes, an object with Start and End would also do the job! Regarding selecting a portion of text via scripting, it wouldn't be of any use for me. And I can't think about a scenario where this could be needed at the moment. Have a nice holiday and thank you again!

I'd like to know whether a character is or isn't selected via scripting. This way you can run a script on that portion of text only, instead of the whole text. Currently, you have to use the Command ID 3018 to apply an animator with a range selector, then read its start and end indexes. And this has to be done before starting any UndoGroup or the text would be deselected. Instead of using the Command ID, I tried this (again before the UndoGroup) var animator = layer.Text.Animators.addProperty("ADBE Text Animator");
animator.property("ADBE Text Selectors").addProperty("ADBE Text Selector"); but the second line deselects the text again. So, it's not even an option. Having to use the Command ID and having to use it before the UndoGroup is a bit of a pain in the ass (not to mention that you also have to delete the animator). It would be nice to at least being able to use the above code inside the UndoGroup. Ideally it would be nice to have a CharacterRange object attribute to check if a character is or isn't selected.

Look at this: What about adding the Line Caps and Line Joints options here? Yes I know, it's an amazing idea... Instead of digging through all the layer properties or keeping the properties panel open, which is a waste of space for some. And you could go even further and add many more things here, all about strokes. Dashes, taper, wave...

Ha ok, so after setting the tracking with textDocument.tracking = 50; you need this: textProp.setValue(textDocument);
textProp.addKey(0); // CREATE A KEYFRAME FIRST
firstCharRange.fillColor = [0, 0, 1]; // Blue color
// THEN USE SETVALUEATTIME TO CREATE ANOTHER KEY WITH THE BLUE CHARACTER
textProp.setValueAtTime(1,textDocument);

isTimeVarying was to check if the property has keyframes.... but in your case you can remove that part. Not needed. If I put this in a jsx file it seems to work fine: var comp = app.project.activeItem;
// Create text layer
var textLayer = comp.layers.addText("Bounce Text");
// Customizing text properties
var textProp = textLayer.property("Source Text");
var textDocument = textProp.value;
var firstCharRange = textDocument.characterRange(0);
textDocument.resetCharStyle();
textDocument.fontSize = 50;
textDocument.fillColor = [1, 1, 1];
textDocument.strokeColor = [0, 0, 0];
textDocument.strokeWidth = 2;
textDocument.strokeOverFill = true;
textDocument.applyStroke = true;
textDocument.applyFill = true;
textDocument.text = "Let's try this";
textDocument.justification = ParagraphJustification.CENTER_JUSTIFY;
textDocument.tracking = 50;
// Change the color of the first character to blue
firstCharRange.fillColor = [0, 0, 1]; // Blue color
textProp.setValue(textDocument);

Can you grab what you need from here (sorry in a hurry)? var ts = layer.sourceText; // you need the layer
var td = ts.value;
var myCh = td.characterRange(1);
myCh.fillColor = RGBcolor; // you need the RGBcolor
if (ts.isTimeVarying) {
var atTime = app.project.activeItem.time;
ts.setValueAtTime(atTime, td);
}else{
ts.setValue(td);
}

No worries! 😄 And if you want a function to test if it's available: function isCharacterRangeWorking(){
var test = new TextDocument("docText");
// Check if the TextDocument object has the characterRange method
if (test.hasOwnProperty("characterRange")) {
// The method is available
return true;
} else {
// The method is not available
return false;
}
}

Hi there, I'm trying to increase/decrease the opacity of multiple layers using the shortcuts Shift+Alt+Ctrl++ and Shift+Alt+Ctrl+- but as you can see, sometimes it only targets some of the selected layers. I'm on windows. The same happens with scale and rotation. Here a video: https://youtu.be/RmX8JnM63Dc

Hi there, For some reason the prompt() function is broken in the Beta version of After Effects. Another friend confirmed that, so it's not just me. I'm on Windows 11 and using the 24.2.0 (build 59).
Can anybody from the Adobe Team please confirm they got this? Cheers Davide

By the way, this expression from Dan Ebberts works fine: target = thisComp.layer("Target Layer"); v1 = target.toWorld(target.anchorPoint) - toWorld([0,0,0]); v2 = toWorldVec([0,0,1]); dot(v1,v2)

Thank you for the answer! I'm not looking for a workaround to be honest, I just thought that those two commands could deal with having a camera parented to a null, which is a common practice. It seems quite basic stuff to me, that's why I thought it was a bug. It's all about getting the 3d absolute position of both the camera and the target instead of their relative position. Maybe you could update them in the next release? #featureRequest 😄

Ok, I'll see what I can do. I did a test the other day with some simple lines of code and worked, even though I was quite confused by the amount of files and their purpose. I tried to reuse a few lines from my js file with jquery but I couldn't make it work and gave up. I've had no problem with re using the jsx code, htlm and css I have, but the jquery part didn't work. Maybe I'll give it another go and send you something. Thank you for the help!
