Question

I need help with an effect I would like to do by applying live trace to a folder of images that later will be asembled as a movie in after effects. I'm not a good scriptor and the only way I have been able to get this to work is in bridge using the live type export. This works excellent only I am limited to 10 images at a time which is not good when there are 30 images in 1 second of video. If I want to apply this effect to hundreds of illustrator files is there a better way.

Please script experts in adobe land help me. The pay off will be really nice if only I can get it to work. Thanks. -tyler

Hi Tyler,

Open the script file and near the top (about line #34 change the "10" to what ever number you would like. You may want to keep a back up copy in a safe location prior to making modifications and depending on the number or files you set the new value to you may notice long periods of time that it seems as if the Bridge has hung or stopped responding.

Cheers,
oneale
