Re: [REQ] Script for batch looping comps
by Jason Mika (jaysinspace) on Mar 5, 2008 at 10:06:21 pm

Greetings Trent,

Thanks for you're reply and suggestion.
I might not have been very clear in what I was trying to accomplish.
I am making individual loops for a media server with pretty much the same method that you are describing.IE splitting and fading.
I'm just moving the transition to the end of the clips
and leaving some wiggle room to shift layer 2 in the transition period to match better if possible.
So if I start with a 30 second source clip I end up with a 29sec loop.

I have the keyboard shortcut sequence down and when I am doing a batch run of these I can move pretty fast and get in a good rhythm.
But since its such a repetitive task I would like to automate it in a preset action like recording actions in Photoshop.
The only way to do this in AE as far as I know is scripting.

Im gonna have a go at it and I will post the results if I
have any success.
In the meantime if somebody else can offer any suggestion
or advice on scripting this action I'm all eyes.

-Jason
