freeze several layers with rotobrush applied

[Todd_Morgan]

Is there a script or way to automatically or bulk freeze all rotobrush work? I have a file from another designer with a xrazy amount of unneeded roto work, but instead of rebuilding from scratch properly I need to freeze all this roto work but would like to do a "click here to freeze all roto work" instead of doing layer by layer throughout the entire project.

Hi Todd,

I don't think this is possible, but I'll pose the question to the team. It sounds like a feature request. Stand by for a response.

Thanks,
Kevin

As Kevin said, since the freeze button is not a normal layer property, and I think there is also no menu cmmannd for it, it is very unlikely that you find a way to trigger it via scripting.

"Freeze All" would make for a great feature request.

Something that might help to get through this a little more quickly is superSelect (pay-what-you-want).  It's a single-action script for selecting/revealing properties in the Adobe After Effects Timeline Panel.  Once you have Roto Brush selected, you could disable it or delete it for when it wasn't needed very quickly or for the Layers where you want to keep it then patiently open the the corresponding Layer Panel to click Freeze one at a time.
