How to change the label color of a Affter Effects Render Queue Item in javascript

[gyedo]

Hi,

Is there a way to change the label color of a Render Queue Item in javascript?

For other items in project, label attribute is for the label color, but seems like Render Queue item doesn't have label attribute.

You're right, label has not been ported to ExtendScript for RenderQueueItems, it's not even hidden somewhere and undocumented, it's not there at all (just checked).

Hence one cannot change it via a script. It's possible to ask for it though (Feature Request/Bug Report Form​ ).

If your script is doing the queuing, you could of course change the color of the comp label before you queue it (then change it back if necessary).

Hi Dan,

I could change the label color of the comp but I can't change the label color of the Render Queue Item.

Also the label color of the comp is not shown in the Render Queue.

What I meant is that I think the render queue item inherits its label color from the comp. So you could save the label color of the comp, change it to what you want it to be in the render queue, queue the comp, and change it back for the comp (if necessary).

I see. Yes, you are right the label color of the render queue item is inherited from the comp. But in my case, render queue items were already made.
