After Effects script that Separates Dimensions and adds Expression to each

Question

Hi,

I would like to create a script for a UI Script panel with two separate buttons: one for X Position and one for Y Position.

The script should first separate the dimensions of the selected layer. Then, each button will apply the following expressions:

PosX button: [thisComp.width] * 1/2

PosY button: [thisComp.height] * 1/2

Ignoring your UI buttons for now, this example will set separate dimensions and add the expressions:var layers = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers;if (layers.length > 0){var myLayer = layers[0];myLayer.property("Position").dimensionsSeparated = true;myLayer.property("Transform").property("X Position").expression = "thisComp.width/2";myLayer.property("Transform").property("Y Position").expression = "thisComp.height/2";}else{alert("No layer selected.");}
