get data from Region of interests

[zipkiev]

Hi to all, who know, how can I get data from Region of interests? (Coordinates for example)? I quickly read cs6 scripting guide and can’t find information about it…. thanks

PS AE scripts can gets users name from local\domain windows  user?

Sorry for bad English

I'm pretty sure Region of Interest is not accessible via scripting or expressions.

Hi!

there is a work around, a bit complicated, but it works.

1_duplicate your comp.

2_create two null layers inside the new comp. First one at [0,0], second at [comp.width, comp.height].

3_resize your comp according to region of interest via executeCommand().

4_read the new positions of the nulls and multiply them by [-1,-1].

5_remove the duplicate.

It's a bit long, but I don't see any other way...

Cheers,

François

thx all for reply, so sad hear about missing native support for direct access to Region of interests parameters, i hope use region of interest because i need export mask, video,and other stuff to png,  jpg, avi files, and then import back to AE  in the same place where I place Region of interests before, and now don't know haw do that...

PS  how about getting data from crop option in render queue? can i get coordinates from that place?

"how about getting data from crop option in render queue ?"

Good idea, but I'm not sure you can access the data...

If you can do it, please share 🙂

Cheers,
