Hello. Does anybody know how to add comp markers (at a specific time) to a composition in After Effect with ExtendScript?

How can I resize my panel from the JS script of my extension - at button click time for example?Thanks.

I'm trying to use Configurator 4.0 to make a custom Photoshop panel.  I have it laid out (see attached) but I'm stuck on how (or if) I can populate the blank text boxes with their respective property values for the active document.  Is there some kind of placeholder string I can use?  Or will they need to be set using a script in the On Panel Intialization box? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!  Even better: Can you recommend a good site where I could post this as a project and pay someone to finish it?

Hey there, I'm working on a production on Adobe Animate, my goal is to create extensions for the artists. I first started by looking at something called 'Extension builder' which, I think, is some sort of plugin for the application 'Flash Builder'.A lot of web page documentation are currently not working for this 'Extension Buider' : https://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/cs-extension-builder.html I still downloaded it here : https://labs.adobe.com/downloads/extensionbuilder3.htmlInside Flash Builder in the 'Help' > 'Install new softwares' > I tried to add this 'extension builder' but went onto a bug. So I never had extension builder working.After that I went on this link : https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/Getting-Started-guides#6-launch-your-extension-in-the-host-app to try to create an extension from scratch.After launching the application 'Adobe Animate' the new panel I created is empty.Thanks in advance.

Since last months the adobe exchange site is not working properly, it is flickering and not allow me to browse new add ons, and today even doesn't show anything as you can see in the picture attached, so what is going on? 

 ... probably because the board is unlisted and discoverability of unlisted boards isn't great... and because all previous Exchange posts were tossed into the Get Started board with a simple "Exchange" label...

We are creating a CEP panel extension for after effect.While creating the listing on the adobe exchange program, in the section Notes & EULA it is written thisProvide EULA for Non-ZXP upload or to override EULA in ZXP upload. My question is own can i include the EULA in the ZXP upload ?Does is have to be at a specific location ?What name should i use for the file ?What file type is supported ? ThanksMat

[This was originally posted in another private forum here. Moved to this forum for more open discussion and link-ability.]   TL;DR The ExtendScript Debugger has some serious problems that stem from its current implementation. In summation, the debugger does not work like other debuggers in VSCode (e.g. NodeJS) [or any other mainline IDE debugger (that I'm aware of)], which is the default expectation for any user. Specifically this means:   The debugging session appears to stop immediately after being run. Compound Launch Configurations cannot be used. VSCode Breakpoints do not work unless very specific, non-obvious configuration settings are in place. VSCode Breakpoints might mysteriously fail to work, even with the non-obvious configuration settings in place.   All of the above issues are related to the current way that the ExtendScript Debugger extension handles a "Debug Session". Addressing these issues will very likely mean changing how this is performed. For more

I'm looking for an alternative to Silicon Publishing's Connector for linking InDesign and CC with our existing DAM. Has anyone come across alternatives?

Recently I have created a Photoshop Panel for Photoshop CC 2018 specifically to control variables in a PSD template. The panel has around 20 buttons that control visibility of certain layers/groups in the .psd file and was created using the CEP HTML Extension Cookbook. I have this part of the panel working flawlessly.I have encountered a problem I cannot seem to get past at the moment however. I would like to create a text input field in the panel that when the user submits text, it will update the text layer within the .psd. I have not been able to figure out this step. I feel like their has to be a way to create a variable on the user's click that can then be read by the ExtendScript file to update the text in the .psd.I believe this can be done because in the Cookbook it says the following:----------Access HTML DOM from extend scriptThere is no way to access HTML extension's JavaScript DOM directly from Application's ExtendScript. If you need to access it, CEP event based communicat

Hi,I am testing my new extension.Once everything was working i packed it as follows:ZXPSignCmd -selfSignedCert <country> <city> <company> <commonName> 123456 selfDB.p12ZXPSignCmd -sign <patghtoPanel> <zxpFile>.zxp selfDB.p12 123456ZXP file was created but when i tried to install it i got this:I tried to install another zxp from adobe exchange for photoshop and there where no problems.My extension is for photoshop.what can be the cause for this?Why dose it now 'know' my extension is for PS? Where can i specify this?Can there be anything missing in my manifest.xml? after all the panel is functioning as is should before packing.it has this entry in it:    <HostList>      <Host Name="PHXS" Version="[14.0,99.9]"/>    </HostList>one more thingHow do you use the verify option for ZXPSigncmd?I tried:ZXPSignCmd -verify myzxp.zxp  |   <path to extension root>That does

Hey All.I have had this issue before, and I think it was fixed, but in fairness I did not pursue the problem.My issue is I have a script that draws a window using ScriptUI, with the window type of Palette.In ESTK it works fine, but using the same code in VSCode, my window doesn't show up.Changing a dialog type works OK.I need a palette type as the window needs to be non modal.Here is a video hopefully showing the issue.Interestingly, with the script in debug mode, and putting a breakpoint in, I can issue the command to show the window, and it DOES show, but as soon as the script exits, so does the window.I know it must be a simple thing i need to change, but cannot find any solutions anywhere else.Here is a link to the videoVSCode Extendscript Issue - YouTube Many ThanksRoyston

Hi,I recently started creating CEP extensions and a client said that one of my extensions doesn't work in Photoshop CC 2017.He said the panel is simply blank / empty after opening.I develop on PS 2019 and everything is working fine for me. I'm quite sure that I didn't include any newer photoshop functions, so it should also work with lower versions.Here's the manifest.xml:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><ExtensionManifest xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" ExtensionBundleId="shadowify" ExtensionBundleName="Shadowify" ExtensionBundleVersion="1.0.0" Version="6.0">  <ExtensionList>   <Extension Id="shadowify" Version="1.0.0"/>  </ExtensionList>  <ExecutionEnvironment>   <HostList>   <Host Name="PHXS" Version="16.0" />   <Host Name="PHSP" Version="16.0" />   </HostList>   <LocaleList>   <Locale Cod

Hi,Any idea what can be wrong here?I packed my panel and it installs as it should on a PC using ExtensionManager_win.The same install manager on a mac gives me this:Am i missing something, perhaps in my manifest file?I tried to unzip it under: Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensionsBut when i try to run it i got a message that it was not properly signed.The same zxp file was installed and reported no suck errors on Win10.when i set :defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.8 PlayerDebugMode 1I can opens and run as it shouldI attached the relevant parts from it:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><ExtensionManifest ExtensionBundleId="com.myextention" ExtensionBundleName="myextention" ExtensionBundleVersion="0.0.3" Version="7.0">  <Author>Dan Lieberman</Author>  <Contact mailto="info@xx.yyy"/>  <Abstract href="http://www.addrtoweb"></Abstract>  <ExtensionList>    <Extension Id="co

Hi,I now how to pack may extension and now i want to add a few Photoshop styles to be installed with my extension.I saved my styles as an .asl file.How can i add them into the zxp package and make sure they will be installed with it to the correct location both in mac and PC?Thanks,

I am attempting to print a file from my panel before closing it.Here is the print script:function Print () {if(app.documents.length > 0){var opts = new PrintOptions();opts.printerName = 'Art Laserjet';opts.printPreset = '[Default]'app.activeDocument.print(opts);  }}This works fine when I run from the ExtendScript Debugger in VSCode. When I attempt to run this from my panel, I get an error alert from Illustrator, "Can't Print the illustration. The Color Management settings are inconsistent."I've attempted to add PrinterColorMangementOptions to the PrintOptions var, but they didn't seem to make a difference. Maybe I just did it wrong? Anyone have any experience with this? I can provide more code if needed.EDIT my console is feeding me: "Error: an Illustrator error occurred: 300 ('')" . Hopefully this helps get me an answer

Hi,I intend to publish my first 2 panels for PS on The Developer Portal.I want to offer free versions and paid ones.I guess for this I need to upload 2 different version of the panels, correct? That means 4 versions so far (2 panels)If, e.g. I offer each panel for $10, and I want to offer 2 panels together for $15, is that possible or will that cause too many duplication since in this case i would have to upload:2 free version, 2 payed version1 payed version for 2 panels together.What I want to know is whether this is acceptable since I am uploading the same panels only packed differently and priced differently.Thanks,

Hello,I have two versions of Adobe InDesign installed on my computer (CC 2017 and CC2018).I am creating an extension for both versions.I use grunt-cep for building and launching my extension (in release or debug mode).Debugger tools worked well on InDesign CC2017 when I had only this one installed.Now that I have both, if I run in debug mode my extension on InDesign CC2018, debugger tools work as expected.But if I run my extension in debug mode on CC2017, debugger tools doesn't work properly :- Sometimes, I have my panel listed, but not linked to debug window (cannot access it)- Sometimes, I can access to it but :- elements panel is empty ; I have to switch to another, close debug, and go back to have them. But I cannot see CSS ... (this is my main problem)- console panel as no scrollbar .. I cannot access to all logs- some panels are just "broken" ; i can see only a part of themDon't know what I can do to solve that ... My register key for PlayerDebugMode seems Ok ...Thanks in advance

Hi,I am trying to include the file myFunc.jsx which has local functions I created.It contains e.g:function getDocName() {    return app.documents.length ? app.activeDocument.name : "No docs open!";}getDocName is used in my main.js file:function f_DocName() {var csInterface = new CSInterface();$("#btnDocName").click(function () {csInterface.evalScript('getDocName()', function (result) {$("#folderName").val(result);});});}I tried to load the jsx in my main.js file like this:function loadJSX() {var csInterface = new CSInterface();var extensionRoot = csInterface.getSystemPath(SystemPath.EXTENSION) + "/host/include/";csInterface.evalScript('$._ext.evalFiles("' + extensionRoot + '")');  }And of course I call loadJSX() in my init function.But getDocName() was not recognized, not unless i defined it in my main.jsx fileWhat is the right way to include jsx files with local function to be accessed from within main.js ?Thank you

I run an online store that aims to provide fun, creative AE tools - https://davey.studio/ - I'm interested in the idea of partnering with an experienced extension developer to pump out new tools and share in the profits. Contact me through my site if you are interested in furthering the conversation. Also, if you know someone that may be interested, I would be very grateful if you were to pass on the message.Hopefully this is within the guidelines of the forum Thanks!

HiI am trying to create a hybrid extension for Photoshop. I have created an HTML 5 extension and added code to listen events and dispatch events. Then I created a Photoshop plugin, added plugplug to it, added code to listen to events but I am unable to have communication between extension and plugin. Please guide.Thanks!

Hi,I create a panel and I noticed that since it does some calculation after I press my main "Run" button:The user can mistakenly think it is not running and press the "Run" button again which may cause the main function to run several times.How can I allow only a single press of this button?The relative functions are:in the main.js i use:csInterface.evalScript('createSplitExportWrapper(' + JSON.stringify(panelData) + ')');in jsx i use:function createSplitExportWrapper(panelData) {    var scriptFile = "/wrappers/createSplitExportWrapper.jsx";    var runScript = File(scriptDir + scriptFile);    // alert("scriptDir:\n" + runScript);    $.evalFile (runScript); }
