Scripting Access to Camera Sensor Size Needed for Accurate FOV

Explorer ,
Sep 03, 2025 Sep 03, 2025

After Effects does not expose the camera’s Sensor Size (Film Size) to scripting.

 

The Problem:

  • Accurate camera creation and pipelines require knowledge of both Zoom and Sensor Size to correctly calculate Angle of View and Focal Length.

  • Without script access, it’s impossible to verify, automate, or replicate real-world camera setups in AE via scripting

 

Proposed solution:

  • Expose Sensor Size (Film Size) as a read/write property in scripting.

  • This would allow scripts to create cameras with the correct sensor size and accurately calculate Zoom, Angle of View, and Focal Length.
