After Effects Scripting Examples
a bizarre situation when developing/running scripts with "Enable JavaScript Debugger" on. The very after effects scripting language first time a script throws an error in a try...catch block, the debugger stops and jumps into the code after effects scripts free instead of handling the error in the catch section. After skipping the runtime error, try...catch-handling works perfectly fine until I restart After Effects and run a script that throws an error. https://forums.adobe.com/thread/954596 Then it's the same thing all over again: First time error - BAM - after this all's well. For example, take this simple script:
try
{
var ob;
ob.expression = "COW";
}
catch(e) { alert ("Error Handling working."); }
The first time this code is executed, the debugger halts, telling me that "undefined https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/227/12968 is not an object". Any subsequent script that is launched handles errors correctly. BTW, "Do not break on Guarded Exceptions" is enabled. Weird behavior... Any ideas? If not, it would be great if anyone could test the above script - maybe it's just my OS...

I don't know if there's another way around it, but I put this at the beginning of my code: var debugPref = app.preferences.getPrefAsLong("Main Pref Section", "Pref_JAVASCRIPT_DEBUGGER");
if(debugPref == 1) {
app.preferences.savePrefAsLong("Main Pref Section", "Pref_JAVASCRIPT_DEBUGGER", 0);

running a node.js server with After Effects installed, and you'd like to run render commands server-side. You use node.js locally, and prefer https://www.npmjs.com/package/after-effects not to run AE scripts with the ExtendScript toolkit. You'd like http://www.videocopilot.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=12784 to run and create AE scripts using ES6 syntax. Because it angers your religious mother, and you want to be rebellious. Requirements Obviously, you need After Effects installed on your machine. Additionally, in your After Effects preferences, enable: Preferences -> General -> Allow Scripts after effects to Write Files and Access Network Basic Usage var ae = require("after-effects"); Ta Daaaa. The rest of this readme assumes ae is the after effects module. To execute some code in After Effects: ae(() => alert("Hello!\nFrom node.js")); What fun! Provided that After Effects is installed in your Applications/Program directory, and that you haven't renamed after effects scripting any of the folders or something, this will work. Scripting Considerations The After Effects scripting environment is a completely different engine than node.js. Node.js has no access to the After Effects environment, and vice versa: var foo = "bar"; //this will not work: ae(() => alert(foo)); If you'd like to send data from node.js to After Effects, you have to supply it as an argument along with the execute command: var foo = "bar"; ae((foo_from_node) => alert(foo_from_node), foo); What you're really doing when you use the execute method is converting the supplied function to a string and then sending it to After Effects to parse. As a result, whatever data you supply has to be convertible to JSON. You can also retrieve data from After Effects with the same restriction: var project_name = ae(() => { if (app.project.file) return app.project.file.name; else return "(project not yet saved)"; }); console.log(project_name); Also see the After Effects Scripting Guide for information about the After Effects Javascri
