can we add guides using script?

I am working on a script that will add two guides, vertical and horizontal at the center of the comp. Not sure if you can add guides through scripts tho

You can use addGuide() method:

app.project.activeItem.addGuide(1, 500);

And these commands can be useful:

Yes, you can 🙂

Bonus tip:

My (paid) extension Automation Blocks for Ae comes with a handy collection of guide tools, too. You can use it to save your own guide presets, for example. A center cross would be very easy to implement as such a preset.
