In a continued and extensive look at After Effects ExtendScript, David Torno posts episode ten, which works on creating custom functions that will be used to retrieve project information from After Effects projects, such as composition, footage, and folder items.
In this episode we will create a custom function that will allow us to easily retrieve specific types of project items like CompItems, FolderItems, or FootageItems
David also takes a look at setting arguments for the custom functions that will allow the passing of outside information and pull them into the function. David notes that functions are a powerful tool, which can be used more than once and can help to consolidate a series of coded tasks into one item. Check out the tutorial for Creating Custom Functions to Retrieve Project Items in After Effects ExtendScript here.
