Question

Can a script open an AE file, and copy layers and assets from it?

Hey Folks,

 

I'm writing a script that needs to open an existing AE file, and then copy it's layers and assets into the current  project. Do you know if there is a way to do that with ExtendScript?

 

Thanks.

Why not import the project into your current project using app.project.importFile()? Now you have all assets in your project and can move them wherever you want.

That's perfect. Thank you. (I'm an ExtendScript newbie, and missed that obvious solution.)  🙂
