Forum archive for Scripting After Effects

Hi Rameez,

Well if you can just pass on this sentiment.

Scripting forums are not the same as other forums. So if a user is learning a product, there are multiple resources available to solve their issue. ie. things are encountered repetitively and a lot can be solved by the forum, reading the manual, youtube,  other sites.  

Resolutions to scripting issues,  are a distillation of the above... there are much less resources available. Adobe hasn't kept pace with updating guides/object models. Hence the forum was the main place (that I could see) that issues would be thrashed out. It was a repository of information on very specific issues. 

Random case point: 

Often one might forget about the nuances of  Window.update() and how that is different based on a UI panel or a window. So a quick search on the forum would bring up the 3 or 4 threads that are relevant. They would indicate user experience, platforms, versions that people had issues with.

All of it should be restored. 

Thanks for your time.
