After Effects 3D Transformation Stack Values and Javascript

[bradvr4]

Is there any way to get the final computed values for a layer's position, rotation, and scale in global space through the Javascript interface?

That would include all parent rotation, translations, scales, and orientation changes. Basically, whatever is at the end of the 3D transform matrix stack.

Thanks,

-Brad

Hi!

One solution would be to get the xyz value of pointTopLeft, pointTopRight, pointBottomRight via expression :

TL = toWorld([0,0,0]);

TR = toWorld([width,0,0]);

BR = toWorld([0,height,0]);

and then use the "AVLayer calculateTransformFromPoints()" method (see aftereffects_scripting_guide for details).

Hope it helps!
