Trying to get value from Warp Stabilizer

May 16, 2012 12:33 AM

Hello everyone!

I want to write a script which can get value "Auto-scale" from all stabilized footages and, depending from the number, will change the colour of footage (layer).

"Auto-scale" isn`t keyframable effect, so I got stuck on how to get it`s value.

Thank you in advance!

    Hi,

    maybe you can use this script from paul tuersley : http://www.paul.tuersley.btinternet.co.uk/scripts/FindProperties_v1.3. jsx.zip

    to get the properties of your effect.

    I run the script and received this:

     

    (3) Auto-scale (125,7%)

             PROPERTY: ADBE SubspaceStabilizer-0017

     

    As I understood I can`t use this value because it doesn`t show the real percentage.

    I`m I right?

    If you're after the percentage number, this should help. It assumes your stabilized layer is layer 1 of the active comp:

     

    {

      var myComp = app.project.activeItem;

      var myLayer = myComp.layer(1);

      var myEffect = myLayer.property("Effects").property("Warp Stabilizer");

      var myName = myEffect.property("ADBE SubspaceStabilizer-0017").name;

      var numIdx = myName.indexOf("(");

      if (numIdx > -1){

        var myPct = parseFloat(myName.substr(numIdx+1));

        alert (myPct);

      }else{

        alert("No percentage found.");

      }

    }

    Also note for those, who will try to run paul tuersley script under AE CS5 and higher.

     

    Change line 15 in the code to the following:

     



    		var theFile = File.saveDialog("Save and open the effect report.", "PropertyReport.txt", "TEXT txt");
