illd I have his 2005 AE book, he says why to set up a template but not how to save it as a official template, just a project.

I’ve tried changing permissions, but AE (CS3) still crashes on startup… Which sucks because this is a really cool script and I’ve wanted to be able to start with a certain folder structure for a long time.

WOuld love to hear your main project structure you use.
I’m trying to get some organization into all my projects!

Thank you for the script!

Here’s an alternate way to do this:
Open the “1_startup.jsx” file in the “Startup” folder and add the following line:
new_project = app.openTemplate(new File("/Applications/Adobe%20After%20Effects%20CS4/Templates/ae_template.aet"));
…where “ae_template” is the name of your template in the Templates folder. You could also change this entire string to be a location elsewhere.

As stated by others, you’ll probably need to grant r/w privileges to admin or other user.

Nice work Lloyd, once again.
I am not shure, but I thought I read a long time ago in Marc Christiansens AE Studio techniques how to setup an autoload without scripting, but I cant find it again… Was I dreaming, or does somebody agree with that?

Very good work!
It would be really nice (if possible) to have a choise to open a template when AE starts (as if it was a project recently opened) and select it from there or from recently opened projects.
Again thanks for all your scripts!

wont work, what did you exactly do with permissions in order to fix it?

I´ve change my permissions on both folders (scripts and startup) for anyone to write&read, but stills not working

thanks

It was a permissions issue with admin vs user rights.

Hey Llyod, I ran into and issue while loading this script. I just keep getting the message telling me to loadprojectsetup over and over again, even after I run the script. Any Suggestions?

On a side note is there a way to make it load this template every time i hit new project?

I had to change my permissions owner from “system” to “admin” to be able to add a new folder in my scripts folder. This caused the loadProject script to not work properly.

So if you have to change your permissions to add a new folder to your scripts folder make sure you set it back before restarting AE.
