No worries Justin, I've solved the problem! I've created a jsx file to be put into the script folder that sends an event to the main CEP panel. Much easier and probably faster, as it doesn't require any html. I just didn't know that it is possible to dispatch an event without using the csInterface module.

Hi all, I'm trying to fix a bug I have with my extension. It consists of 2 panels. One is the Main panel. The other is an Invisible panel that dispatches an event to the Main panel. This way I can set up a shortcut that opens the Invisible panel and triggers a function in the Main panel. The Invisible panel runs this code (function copyFunction () {
'use strict';
var csInterface = new CSInterface();
var event = new CSEvent("copyShortcut", "APPLICATION");
event.data = "Copy";
csInterface.dispatchEvent(event);
csInterface.closeExtension();
}()); ...and it works almost fine. The last command csInterface.closeExtension() though, often freezes After Effects for a few seconds (sometimes takes longer, sometimes it doesn't even freeze), which makes the whole shortcut trick a pain in the ass. I've noticed a couple of things though. First one: if in the manifest file I change these settings for the Invisible panel from <AutoVisible>false</AutoVisible>
<Type>Custom</Type> to <AutoVisible>false</AutoVisible>
<Type>Panel</Type> ...nothing freezes! It runs very smooth. Nice! The drawback is that the Invisible panel is not invisible anymore. It quickly appears then disappears. Moreover, if I keep this settings <AutoVisible>false</AutoVisible>
<Type>Custom</Type>​ and remove the line csInterface.closeExtension(); the first time I open the panel it performs well (and it's invisible), but the second time (as its already open) it doesn't trigger the function (as expected) and becomes visible!! If I try to manually close it, the panel disappears but it's actually still open. There is no way to both keep the panel invisible and close the panel without freezing AE. Any help? I was thinking about leaving the Invisible panel always open and find a way to trigger a function when onfocus or something... any ideas?

Thank you! "Active frame" is misleading. I thought it was something else.

Hi, I need to change the Maximize Panel shortcut, which by default should be the tilde key. How the hell is that named in the Keyboard Shortcut editor?

Hi everybody, Hopefully you can see the following expression on the scale property. This is how it's meant to work. Notice that the "Amount to tint" value is 75% which cause the scale of the layer to be multiplied by 0.7. The "Amount to tint" is also an Essential Property. If used as such and set at 75% the scale gets crazy high: This is another example with the "Amount to tint" set at 1%: Any idea why it doesn't work? Anything wrong in the scale expression?

I've coded an extension for AE on Windows and now I'm testing it on Mac. On Mac, if the option "Enable Javascript Debugger" is turned off, some functions don't work. They do, if on. On my Windows machine it doesn't have such a problem. Any ideas by any chance?

Of course. What's the purpose of having an Italian keyboard and set it to English? Eveything would be in the wrong place. It's just Illustrator that can't get his head around this. Any other softwares just work fine.

Hi everybody, I don't use Illustrator very often but I'd like to set up some custom shortcuts to make my day easier. I have an Italian keyboard so some of the default shortcuts need to be changed. For example, I'd like to Show and Hide the grid by using a shortcut. And I'd like it tobe Ctrl + '. This because it would be the same shourtcut I use in After Effects. When I open the Keyboard Shortcuts window and change the default shortcut to Ctrl + ' everything seems to work fine. However, the shorcut doesn't work at all. Nothing. This problem drives me crazy, I even thought to buy a keyboard with a US layout but then it would be painful to write words with accents. Any ideas?

Hi everybody, as you can see in this video: https://youtu.be/PwnbkhT74to the Ram preview is looping fine as long as I don't update any property value. As soon as I do it, it stops. Any idea? Windows pro, i9-9900k, 32GB ram, Geforce 1060gtx

Hi guys, please see the video attached. I've tried to changes some preferences, I've re-installed Premiere, I've updated the graphic card drivers... Nothing worked. How can I fix this issue? I've already lost one hour of work.

Hi guys, I'm considering buying either a 4k or a 3440x1440 monitor. Now I-m working on a 2560x1440 which is great. If buying a 4k monitor, will the interface be scaled accordingly or will it be smaller (smaller text, thinner layers, etc)? Also: can someone please post a screenshot of AE (on a 4k monitor) with a fullHD comp viewer at 100% resolution (just to see how big it gets and if there is enough room for all the other panels)? Cheers

On your footage there should be an effect called 3D Camera Tracker. If you don't need it anymore, just turn it off (or delete it). That should make the blue bar disappear.

Thank you TheodorosGR​, yes!, both solutions make sense and helped. Regarding this line of code here: app.executeCommand(3153); Is there a database with all the CommandID ? In other words, where did you get this information from?

If the template is not made in AE 2019 it doesn't work in PR 2019 anymore. You have to open the AE project with the latest version of AE and re-export the template. Is it your case?

I don't think I understand what you are trying to archive then. Anyway two tips you may find useful: If you want to change where the anchor point is, you can select the 'Pan behind tool' by pressing Y. You can now drag the anchor point to a new position. If you hold the Alt key down while dragging it, it will change the layer position leaving the anchor point where it is in space (easier to understand if you try it).

If you pickwhip the position to another layer's position you get something like this: thisComp.layer("Your layer").transform.position If you add '+ value' to the expression you are able to move the layer and keyframe its position too. thisComp.layer("Your layer").transform.position + value ( this means: take the 'Your layer' position and sum it to this layer position value) When you tipo the '+ value' part into the expression the layer will jump, so you'll have to reposition it. But... can't you just parent all the layers to a null and then move and scale the null?
