Automat the Auto-Trace process

[vivekr10411223]

Hi guys,

I'm new on this forum and wanna ask you all, is someone knowing about a script or expression that will automate the process Auto-Trace (Alpha png to Masks) Without AE UI.What i mean is,

01_When I want to use .PNG image (Alpha) in Element 3d than i use auto track in AE.(suppose everything goes fine)

02_Next time if i change the source image (.png image which we used earlier).

03_And if I open the project again so now the mask comes in the shape of the new .png image.

I have given a link below to explain this process.

Via scripting you can trigger the "Auto-Trace" popup dialog to appear, but you can't automate setting any of the values or pressing "Ok".

(function () {
  var cmd = app.findMenuCommandId("Auto-trace...");
  app.executeCommand(cmd);
})();
