Hello!

What's the name for the clone stamp property in ae scripting?

addProperty("ADBE Paint Atom")  adds a new brush, not a clone stamp.

thanks

Marco

This wont help you much, but looking for the correct matchName leads nowhere:

It's the same property group for Paint brush and Clone Stamp.

The only difference is that when used as "Clone Stamp", the property group has all of its properties revealed, while when used as "Paint Brush", the "clone stamp" specific properties are hidden.

Therefore, one should try to find how to reveal those properties, but it doesnt seem to be possible via script.

Thanks Horshack!

I'm sorry but as UQg​ said, the clone stamp property is the same as the paint brush .

Hi,

var myLayer = app.project.activeItem.layer(1);

  myLayer.property("ADBE Effect Parade").addProperty("ADBE Paint");

  myLayer.property("ADBE Effect Parade").property(1).property(2).addProperty("ADBE Paint Atom");

  myLayer.property("ADBE Effect Parade").property(1).property(2).property(1).name = "Clone 1";

  myLayer.property("ADBE Effect Parade").property(1).property(2).property(1).property("ADBE Paint Duration").setValue([-0.000005,5.2]);

  myLayer.property("ADBE Effect Parade").property(1).property(2).property(1).property(4).property("ADBE Paint Diameter").setValue(21);

  myLayer.property("ADBE Effect Parade").property(1).property(2).property(1).property(5).property("ADBE Paint Position").setValue([339,193]);

I hope useful for you.
