Is there a script for scaling multiple precomps?

Hi!
Is there a script or another good way to scale tens of precomps in one go?
I just noticed that I need to "grow bounds" to over 20 compositions in order to be able to use an effect on them. Do I need to manually go inside each precomp and change their comp settings for a bigger size or can this be done faster somehow?
I tried the grow bounds effect, but could not get it to work. What I'm doing is simple: I'm blurring the layers to make them "glow" but for the blur to look nice the layers need to have bigger bounds.
Any help will be appreciated!

I used this After Effects Community Help search for 'script scale multiple compositions' and found this:

  • Is there a script for an audio controller linked to an embedded swf?

    Is there a script for an audio player or controller that has some functions like play resume stop for an embedded swf file?  I would use buttons for this purpose but for some reason, when I click on the pause button on the pdf, and then click on resume, playback resumes five seconds before the point at which I paused. And i would prefer to rely on just using the built in player in the pdf but the quicktime player doesn't play the swf smoothly; it freezes.

  • Script for combining multiple documents?

    hi there,
    well I think there's been a lot of discussion going towards this topic. My concerns aren't quite lining up with the topics. We using a script for placing images, and instead of going document to document...I would like to combine all the indd documents...there's usually at least 24...and to import NOT as pdf's, just as individual pages within the one document...insert my images using the other script...and then later choosing to re-export the pages as individuals. With ascending order of page numbers in the correct sequence they were brought in as.
    thanks for the help.

    -Printing by folder only helps when I need to run one copy of the files, typically I need to print multiple copies or save them for future printing.  Also I have had errors printing via that method before because it will sometimes overload the printer queue.
    -It would be great if clients always provided print ready documents, but that is usually not the case and I have to correct it which is why I am here asking how to do this.
    And if you can not do that then you need to insert a blank page into the files with an odd number of pages.
    Right.  That is what I am looking for; something to automate inserting a blank page into files that have an odd number of pages WITHOUT knowing the documents page counts before hand and WITHOUT having to manually insert blank pages.

  • Is there a script for changing layer names in ID CS4?

    I have multiple documents with an average of 20 layers in each. Each of the layers is named for the expiration date of the coupon in the ads. When a new order comes in I retrieve the previous files and change the dates via scripts and the Find/Change option. I have looked but cannot find a way to rename the dates in the layers as well.
    Does anyone know of a script for this?
    Thanks in advance!

    E-mail, eh? You're missing out a lot of fun stuff, as there is
    - editing your own posts
    - using bold and italics to highlight important stuff
    - finally being able to shout (some posters think it's necessary to use a large bold font to make their post stand out in the crowd. They are correct, it does. In the Bad way.)
    - inserting images
    - uh, Jive (-- sorry, couldn't think of any more fun stuff to add)

  • Script for emailing multiple file types?

    Is there a script that will allow me to place a button on a form, that when clicked, will email the completed form in PDF format as well as in csv, or xml format?
    Thanks!

    Wow, thanks. That was extremely helpful, but I have a couple questions.
    First, is there a way to make it print to CUPS without opening the default application for the particular file first? For example, I used a .docx file, and it had to open microsoft word to send the job the print. This makers it very unpredictable to decide how much time the automator application will need to pause. If that file were for example, and adobe illustrator file, it would take an incredible amount of time just for illustrator to open. I don't really anticipate needing to do this a whole lot with anything other than text files and standard image types, but is that the only way for those other files to print? I figured that since OS 10.6 can do a quick look preview on just about any file type I use, that the OS would be able to do this without the application actually opening, but it seems not to be the case. Just wondering.
    The other issue is the only real problem, and it's one that I have had whenever I use automator to make PDFs. It always duplicates the job. So, I am getting a combined pdf, but it has the same file in there 2 or even 3 times.
    In automator, I used:
    get selected finder items
    then
    print finder items
    I have verified that it is printing everything multiple times because I see them going into the CUPS folder twice. Then, the final PDF sometimes even has the same doc or image in it 3 times. I have always had this problem with automator and PDFs, any idea how to solve that?
    Other than that duplication issue, this seems like it will work perfectly! Thanks for the reply here!

  • Free script for replacing multiple footage files

    Hello!
    I made a simple script for easily changing multiple footage paths. I'm a 3D artist and found it a burden to replace all the vray render passes every time I rendered a new version. I'm sure it has other uses as well, like checking and setting which of your footage files are local and which ones are on a fileserver.
    You can also copy and move footage from one file to another with this tool.
    I'm not a professional scripter and would like some comments and crits. What would be the best place to publish something like this? For 3ds max there's scriptspot.com, is there something similiar for adobe scripts?
    Use at your own risk. Download here.

    looks useful for managing multipasses. Have a look at aescripts.com for publishing your script.

  • Is there a script for renaming layers in ID CS5?

    Hello,
    I am new to scripting (I just started today) so far I have found some very useful existing scripts to help automate my workflow. I am wondering if anyone knows of the existence of a layer renaming script for InDesign.
    I have seen similar scripts for PS. I want to learn how to script but I am in need of this one for Monday...
    Thanks in advance!

    Antonio:
      Please remember that we're all volunteers here. If you can ask your question so we can understand it, we can probably help you. But if you cannot, it would take quite a lot of effort on our part to even determine what you asking.
    Jongware wrote in the other thread:
    This is quite a specialized case so it's unlikely there "is" a script. But there "could be" one. Ask in the scripting forum, as there are some people in there sharpening their skills with such requests. Make sure to detail what you need it to do: which layers? rename to what? Et cetera.
    You're not doing a good job on detail. How would the script know what to change your first, 3rd, 4th, and 5th "atoms" to?
    You have given us no information that I can see.

  • Is there a script for dimensioning?

    Not just any dimensioning ie: Cadtools,
    Is it possible to have "intelligent" dimensioning inside Adobe Illustrator? For example: If I draw a rectangle 4" wide by 2" high, and I stretch it to 6" x 2" is there a way for the 4" dimension to auto-update to 6" without manually overriding the text? Like they do in autoCad. I've been scouring the web for answers with little luck. I even bought CADtools which is great but doesn't provide this option. Any help/suggestions/finger pointing would be greatly appreciated.

    Nope. Illustrator (you know...this ostensibly "professional" drawing program) doesn't provide even rudimentary "dumb" dimension tools (just as the program still dosen't even provide live geometric shape primitives like any other drawing program under the sun does).
    Cheezy workarounds can be (and have been) devised with scripts to create dumb dimension labels, but updating when objects change really requires special dimension objects. Scripts loose their object-specific references when the script completes, or when the script's palette is closed, unless you code into the script some kind of object labeling, which would become cumbersome real quick.
    If it's a frequent need, you need a proper feature for this, and you're just using the wrong program. Use Draw or Canvas. You can probably buy a competitive side-grade to either of those programs for not much more than you pay for an elaborate plug-in, and get alot more value in the deal.

  • Script for moving multiple subtitle clips in the works - EXAMPLES NEEDED!

    Hi everyone!
    One severe deficiency of DVD Studio Pro is the inability to move multiple subtitle clips back or forward in a track by an arbitrary offset.
    I ran into this problem while I was creating a DVD from an EyeTV recording of a DVB broadcast, the subtitles from which have to be extracted to a SON file and a bunch of .bmp images with a separate piece of software, ProjectX. For some reason, ProjectX messed up the subtitle timecodes, so I had to move the entire track forward by a fixed amount. Unable to do this inside DSP, and unable to find tools that would do this for SON files, I set out to code my own tool with Python.
    Currently, I have a very simplistic working version of the script, which I successfully used to shift the timecodes of the aforementioned SON file.
    This got me thinking: I can't be the only one who has faced this problem. So, in the spirit of giving something back to the community, I thought I'd try my hand at turning this little script into a versatile tool for timescaling several different subtitle formats.
    If possible, I would like to receive real-life examples of several different plaintext (no binary formats, thanks) subtitle formats from you guys, both those that DSP supports and those that it doesn't.
    For now the tool only shifts entire tracks and works on the command line, but who knows, maybe I'll create a GUI at some point and add the ability to shift specific subtitle clips instead of whole tracks - time permitting, of course.
    If you think you might have some juicy subtitles laying around, please reply or contact me directly by e-mail: elamaton (at) nic.fi. Don't worry, I won't redistribute anything you send me, it will only be used as test data.

    Sounds like a very good idea... but have you seen Subtitler:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/26322
    Not to say you won't make a better version, and I'd be delighted if you did! Manipulating subs in DVDSP is not something I do any more - I use an external text editor for any job where more than a few subs are needed.
    The problem in DVDSP is that you cannot extract the subs directly, you have to export an track item description which has the subs and time code buried within the XML. You might find that PHP will give you a web based tool to extract the subs and time codes and write a text file, which you can then manipulate.
    In fact, wouldn't a web based tool be a good idea? People could upload the track description, it would export the subs and you could get it to adjust the timecodes and write a text file back in the correct format to import back in to DVDSP. Once the subs are in a text file it is a simple matter to manipulate them further...

  • Is there a script for this?

    Hello,
    I have a 176 page pdf that has black type throughout, a lot of those pages also have boxes filled with black. I need to change the boxes to rich black but leave the type black only. I tried using actions but it changes both since they have the same fill. I posted this on the creating and editing forum and got no reply, so I'm assuming it may not be possible. Is there possibly a script to do this?
    And if there is could someone talk me through using it. I've used scripts in Indesign but have no clue how to apply them in acrobat.
    I'm on a Mac using Acrobat 9 Pro.
    Your help is much appreciated,
    Patty

    Thanks for the response Gilad.
    Sorry it has taken me a bit to get back to you. I work for a printing company and don't always get time to "play around" with things.
    I did try your suggestion of color convert with no good results. The boxes and the type have the same fill color and selecting any object
    or line art would also change the type. Also tried changing just the type and both change. Not sure why.
    I do very much appreciate your suggestion.
    Thank you,

  • Is there a script for CS5 to export a multi-page InDesign Document to single page InDesign documents

    Hello,
    I am having trouble finding a script or utility that would allow me to export each page of an InDesign CS5 document as multiple single page InDesign documents. I have found one script that does this for CS3, but nothing for CS5. Thank you for any help.

    Generally speaking, if a script doesn't run in a later version, you can put it in a subfolder withteh correct version number as the name and it will work. For CS3 that would be "Version 5.0 Scripts" without the quotes.
    That said, if you have Acrobat pro, it's probably easier to use the extract pages command...

  • Script for running multiple find/change queries

    Working on a large ID book document (*.indb), I have saved several dozens of Find/Change Queries (named "col01", "col02" etc.) that I run on "All documents". For a particular reason I have to run these queries several times a day.
    So I was wondering whether there is, or whether anybody out there would write, a script that runs these queries one after the other. Given the size of the book, it might be necessary to provide for the script to pause after each query is run (before it goes on with the next), but I am just guessing.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    There are a couple of others:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5173943#5173943
    this is more at code level rather than a GUI, but the actual queries are made using the Find/Change dialog box.
    Also
    http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/grep_query_manager.html
    This is good too, but only does GREP searches (no text, glyph or object find/replaces) that were written by the user - does not use the ones installed with InDesign. Does allow changes by selection, story, document or folder.
    Did try the Doquerylist suggested by Kasyan. This allows GREP/text changes by the user/installed with InDesign, but only applies to a selection or text-thread.
    Always good to have more than one way of accomplishing a task though!

  • Is there a plugin for producing multiple pdfs from one print action in Indesign?

    Hello,
    I am wondering if there is a script or method for indesign that will allow you to write 2 or more pdfs from indesign in one action ?
    In other words - is there a print or export function that will allow you to write both a high res and low res file in one command ?
    Saving location isn't important, just the ability to tell indesign to write two files at once, like a pdf server server might.
    With thanks in advance for any input
