USING AFTER EFFECTS CS4

Expressions

Last updated 12/21/2009

Comp attributes and methods (expression reference)

layer(index) Return type: Layer, Light, or Camera.

Argument type: index is a Number.

Retrieves the layer by number (order in the Timeline panel). Example: thisComp.layer(3)

layer(name) Return type: Layer, Light, or Camera.

Argument type: name is a String.

Retrieves the layer by name. Names are matched according to layer name, or source name if there is no layer name. If

duplicate names exist, After Effects uses the first (topmost) one in the Timeline panel. Example:

thisComp.layer("Solid 1")

layer(otherLayer, relIndex) Return type: Layer, Light, or Camera.

Argument type: otherLayer is a Layer object, and relIndex is a Number.

Retrieves the layer that is relIndex layers above or below otherLayer. For example, thisComp.layer(thisLayer,

1).active returns true if the next layer down in the Timeline panel is active.

marker Return type: MarkerProperty.

Important: You cannot access a composition marker by marker number. If you have a project created in a previous

version of After Effects that uses composition marker numbers in expressions, you must change those calls to use

marker.key(name) instead. Because the default name of a composition marker is a number, converting the reference to

use the name is often just a matter of surrounding the number with quotation marks.

marker.key(index) Return type: MarkerKey.

Argument type: index is a Number.

Returns the MarkerKey object of the marker with the specified index. The index refers to the order of the marker in

composition time, not to the name of the marker. For example, this expression returns the time of the first composition

marker:

thisComp.marker.key(1).time

marker.key(name) Return type: MarkerKey.

Argument type: name is a String.

Returns the MarkerKey object of the marker with the specified name. The name value is the name of the marker, as

typed in the comment field in the marker dialog box, for example,

marker.key("1"). For a composition marker, the

default name is a number. If more than one marker in the composition has the same name, this method returns the

marker that occurs first in time (in composition time). The value for a marker key is a String, not a Number. For

example, this expression returns the time of the composition marker with the name "0":

thisComp.marker.key("0").time

marker.nearestKey(t) Return type: MarkerKey.

Argument type: t is a Number.

Returns the marker that is nearest in time to t. For example, this expression returns the time of the composition marker

nearest to the time of 1 second:

thisComp.marker.nearestKey(1).time

This expression returns the time of the composition marker nearest to the current time:

1 2 ... 668 669 670 671 672 673 674 675 676 677 678 ... 777 778
