I tried to run this but got an error message on “Line 29″.

I’m not a programmer by any means, but is there something I need to type in to fix to run on my computer? My system is Windows if that is any help.

thanks,
Tolbert

Tolbert: You need to make sure you don’t have any illegal characters such as tildes, accent, exclamation points, etc in your path or project name. If you click on the Help button you can get a more complete explanation on how to use the script.

thanks for this script – can’t see it in (Windows XP) AE7 “windows” list – have pasted the .jsx into AE7>support files>scripts (no luck) then tried pasting into AE7>support files>scripts>ScriptUI Panels (again no luck). Am I doing something wrong?

Kirk,

The AE7 version of the script needs to be installed in the scripts folder and is run by selecting it from the Scripts menu under the File menu.

Hey Lloyd, Do you have a background render script for AE 6.5. Unfortunately, I only have version 6.5. Thanks, Marsh
Ps – I tried the V.7 script and I also got the line 29 error. I will have to run it again to see what the comment was. I forget that part.

Sorry, no 6.5 version

Hello, this looks like a very useful script. However, when I try to run it it objects to the fact that I don’t have AE installed into the default C:/ drive. Any way around this?

For those of you having a PATH problem error use the ExtendScript Toolkit to point to YOUR program path.

Enjoy !
