How can I make a script that return how many Frames the document has?

[EDGARDO ANDRE5FD9]

Hello, I'm a beginner at working with Photoshop scripts and currently working with animation frames, and I'd like to know if there's a way to make a JavaScript code to get the number of frames that my current document has.

Use site search.

Perhaps this is what you need.

Hey, I've tried that code and I can only get it to return 0, do you think you can elaborate on it for a bit?

Unfortunately, I have not worked with animation and have a vague idea of it.

Could you provide a low resolution file with any minimal animation for which the script (for 'frameCount') shows zero? I would then be able to see and, perhaps, figure out what the problem is.

Hello r-bin. Same issue me too facing with photoshop cc 2019. I am attaching the photoshop file with multi-frames. Kindly look into this and give me the best possible way.

Thank you

There is no Video Timeline in your file.

Therefore, you need to change the "timeline" to "animationClass".

var r = new ActionReference();
r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("frameCount"));
r.putClass(stringIDToTypeID("animationClass"));
var ret = executeActionGet(r);

alert(ret.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID("frameCount")));

Hi, Where can i get "timeline", "animationClass" and other string names which is refering to which.

[r-bin]

This can only be said by Photoshop developers.

I get it all empirically.
