edit a text layer in a comp, without actually launch after effect.

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?


Thanks a lot.

Best to post in the COW's AE Expression Forum. There are more AE Scripters over there.
