Question
Run a script from Make, headless.
This has come up for me a few times, and each time I found some other way around it. But I'm sure it's possible, I just havent found the incantation.
I want to run an AE script totally headless (no UI, no interaction).
The script might be something like, pseudo-code:
> open("my_project.aep");
> var data = readDataFile("./datafile.txt");
> setTextAndKeyFrames("comp1",data);
> renderMyMovie("comp1","./todaysHeadlines.mov");
> app.quit();
And I want to run it something like:
> afterEffects --script="./myScript.jsx"
I must be thick. But. What is the incantation for this?
