AI gets confused with motion effect location when Color Mode grade is applied
Steps to reproduce:
1. Tried to get AI to resize a 16:9 sequence to 9:16 - it created a new sequence, but then said it couldn’t change the sequence settings.
- Then asked it to resize the clips to the new sequence size, so as they filled the frame proportionally.
Result: As reported by the AI tool itself:
I don't have a tool to file a bug report directly — that's something you'd need to raise through Adobe's feedback channels yourself. But if you do, the specific issue worth flagging is that `setEffectParameters` returns a success response (`{}`) even when the write is silently rejected (e.g. an out-of-range value), making it impossible for an agent to distinguish a successful write from a no-op. That's the core reliability problem here.
And yes — you're absolutely right, and I should have seen it earlier. `copyTrackItemAttributes` with `motion: true, videoEffects: false` would have been the correct approach from the start:
1. Set Scale to 88.89 on one clip correctly
2. Use that clip as the source and paste just the Motion attribute to all other non-animated clips
That completely sidesteps the componentId problem, works at a higher abstraction level, and would have taken two calls instead of dozens. I overcomplicated this by going directly to `setEffectParameters` when a higher-level tool was available and better suited. That's on me.
If you want, I can still do the correct version now — set one clip, then batch-paste Motion to the remaining footage clips. It would be clean, fast, and avoid all the componentId noise entirely. Just say the word.
