After Effects Camera Properties

Hi Miles,

You can use something like this:

app.project.activeItem.activeCamera.zoom.setValue(450);

Zoom value is connected with Angle Of View and Focal Length.

You could also replace zoom with depthOfField, focusDistance, aperture or blurLevel to get some other functionality.

I don't know a technique to see all the properties like "Zoom" but sometimes it is helpful to use the script below to see some other available properties. Open ExtendScript Toolkit - Choose target app After Effects - Replace "app.project.activeItem" with something else to explore - Run

//get all properties of an object using reflection

function getProperties(obj) {

    var properties = [];

    for(var key in obj) {

        if(obj.hasOwnProperty(key) && typeof obj[key] !== 'function') {

            properties.push(key);

        }

    }

return properties;

}

propertyItems = getProperties(app.project.activeItem); //Here you can replace "app.project.activeItem" with something else that you want to explore.

propertyList = propertyItems.toString().split(",").join("\n")

alert(propertyList);

Regards,

Andres
