aescripts + aeplugins

Hi all.

I'v got this great little script that creates a trimmed solid above the selected layer.

I do however want to set this new solid as a track mate for the layer underneath.

anyone interested in taking this one step forward and creating a script that will do all that in one click?

here is the script that do the create new trimmed solid:

var proj = app.project;

var undoStr = "Create Trimmed Solid";

if (proj){

var myComp = app.project.activeItem;

if (myComp != null && (myComp instanceof CompItem)){

app.beginUndoGroup(undoStr);

var myLayers = myComp.selectedLayers;

if (myLayers.length != 0) {

var saveIn = myComp.duration;

var saveOut = 0;

var saveIndex = myComp.numLayers;

var newInpoint=myComp.duration, newOutpoint=0, myIndex=myComp.numLayers;

for (i=0; i <= myLayers.length-1; i++){

currentLayer = myLayers[i];

saveIn = (currentLayer.stretch < 0) ? currentLayer.outPoint : currentLayer.inPoint;

saveOut = (currentLayer.stretch < 0) ? currentLayer.inPoint : currentLayer.outPoint;

saveIndex = currentLayer.index;

if (saveIn < newInpoint) {newInpoint = saveIn}

if (saveOut > newOutpoint) {newOutpoint = saveOut}

if (saveIndex < myIndex) {myIndex = saveIndex}

}

var solid = myComp.layers.addSolid([0,0,0],"Solid", myComp.width, myComp.height, myComp.pixelAspect, myComp.duration);

solid.solid = true;

solid.moveBefore(myComp.layer(myIndex+1));

solid.inPoint = newInpoint;

solid.outPoint = newOutpoint;

app.endUndoGroup();

} else {

alert("Please select at least one layer");

}

} else {

alert("Please select an active comp to use this script");

}

else

{

alert("Please open a project first to use this script.");

}
