Hi,
I am trying to write a jsx script to do the followings:
It should access an existing project, edit the content of a text layer(said change the text from "me" to "you"), move it around a little bit, render a still frame and save the result image.
So I wonder if it's possible not to actually launch the after effect application, say do everything in command line quick and quietly? I am new to the script and so far I can only do a [ new_project = app.open(my_file); ] and that launch the application completely, which is not quite what i am looking for. Any ideas from anyone?
