David Torno posts the last installment in his After Effects ExtendScript Training Series, with a look at how to build custom functions that will reveal settings and attribute characteristics on After Effects layers.

We end this series this week by building some helpful custom functions that will reveal layer types, retrieve all fonts used in your project, retrieve text layer justification settings, and retrieve layer blending mode settings

David shows how to retrieve layer types as well as revealing fonts that might be used in an After Effects project, retrieve text layer justification settings as well as blending mode settings for layers.
