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! ... View more

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);     ...

Trying to move keyframes and layers around and it feels a lot nicer! They glide like butter now...  ... View more

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);     ... View more

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; } }   ...

Is it the beta version? Otherwise you won't be able to use the CharacterRange ... View more

Is there any way to know whether a character is/isn't selected? If not, can it be added please?   ... View more

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) ... View more

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 😄     ...

Unfortunately using cep-bolt doesn't fix the issue.  I have translated one of my extensions to cep-bolt and the problem persists as yoh can see here: https://youtu.be/Wa3lZgNiAbU?feature=shared ... View more

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!  ... View more

Hi Alex, I loooked into Bolt-CEP but it would mean that I had to translate all the js/jquery code into typescript, which I don't even know how to use, and learn a tons of new things. Moreover, CEP will be replaced by UXP so I'll have to update everything again soon. Since the only issue I have now is with the extension going blank when another extension is closed, I'm wondering if there's any easier option to, let's say, shield my extension. Any ideas? I read this interesting article https://hyperbrew.co/blog/top-2-extendscript-mistakes-and-how-to-avoid-them/ although it doesn't help in protecting my extension from external 'close extension' commands. ...

Solid/shape + pre-comp: depends if the solid/shape is on top or below. If above fine, below not working.  Shape + Solid: fine. It looks like there is an issue with the Precomp. The three precomps are instances of the same and I've used some master properties to change the text. So I guess there is where the issue is. If you swap those precomps wiith other precomps that don't have master properties, it all seems to work fine.  ... View more
