creating shape from text and get the path

[liors51023776]

Hi everyone!

I am trying to get an answer for this question.

I am working with ExtendScript, and with After Effect.

I have a script like this one:

var comp = app.project.items.addComp('test', 1920, 1080, 1, 30, 25);

var layer = comp.layers.addText('C');

What I am trying to do is to create shape from text by code in extendscript and then to get the path of the shape to array

that will contain the points of the path also in code.

I am sorry but i am beginner.

is there an easy way to do that?

You'd run the Text to Outlines command and then use the mask and shape layer methods to manipulate the data.

Hi LiorS,

Did you solve your problem yet? If so, how did you do that?

Thanks,
