Are you still having a problem. Tested on CS4 here and don’t see any issues. Are you on ma or windows?

Unfortunately, today, the 1st time I installed the script in Scripts UI folder (because I’m using CS4) and I got “Unable to execute script at line 145. Execution halted”. Although the script still does it’s job after that.

You can enter decimals to have as fine of a control as you’d like. Not sure what you mean by an option to not have two consecutive layers selected. The script works with pre-selected layers.

It would be cool if you gave finer control over the number of layers selected. Perhaps a percentage? Also, it would be helpful if there was an option so that no two consecutive layers are selected.

That did it! Your script turned an hour of tedium into about 30 seconds of work.

Check out v2.0 that I just uploaded. It now has a “Snap to Frame” option that will make sure the layers are shifted to land on whole frames.

Hi Lloyd, when I run the script the layers are distributed with sub-frame accuracy, they are not landing exactly on whole frames. This is giving me some problems because I am using time remaping with linear keyframes that switch to hold keyframes. When the layer shifter puts the layer at say frame 10.3 I see a flash of frame 10 before the hold keyframe at frame 11. Maybe a check box to force whole numbers or the ability to type in your frame rate before you randomize?

It works perfectly in CS5. Just added the badge to officially certify it.

Any chance this will be updated for CS5 in the near future?

Ok, that’s a great suggestion, I’ll try that. Thanks again for being so amazingly prompt!
