Nexrender: target layer

[Abukodonosor]

Inlife XD Can nexrender render template if tempalte have compostion who is compiled from sub-compositions? .. because template is organised that way?

And can you explain me how your JS code know how to target artist layer?

[Abukodonosor]

The main issue was .. i didnt get how your layer know which fucntion need to triger .... and this is in actionScript ,.. actionScript set connection like standard mvc ( javaFX, C#) action on specific element.

Can you give me some advice? how to search connections for images or videos ?
Do i need to loop true layers to ask for names or ?

[inlife]

you can check that by opening the aepx template file alongside the boilerplate
it is set right from inside the project

[Abukodonosor]

Morning Inlife , do you maybe know how to add connections to image or video.

Can he give connection to that type ... because on text obviously work.. and its easy to set.

To say guys who make templates to take care on that... ?

where can we type that connection line?

[inlife]

you mean, changing video or image based on expressions ?
unfortunately as far as i know its impossible, you can only change positions/time
also you can try using an "asset substitution" technique described in readme and in docs
hope that helps

Can i import ExtendScript as data.js ? to have control on layers?

[inlife]

not sure

[Abukodonosor]

Can i iterate over layers ? in my data.js file .. can you show me example... cuz i need to change value of some colorLayer... i have just name of it .. and layer miss connection thing (ActionScript hook ) .. can i make it happend?

[inlife]

i dont think so, not with expressions

[inlife]

for that you would need the after effects scripting

[Abukodonosor]

I need to make somehow .. to loop through the layers and to find layer with name

'text1.1': 'BIOTECNOLOGIE ENZIMATICHE',
'color1.1': 'ffffff',
'text1.2': 'ENZIMI sviluppati da ALGHE',
'color1.2': 'bdbdbd'

problem is ... My .aepx project dont have hooks ( $.eval('file path') ) at layers to catch them .. designers didnt implement in actionScript.. now i need to find the way to loop over layers and to find layers with
'text1.1' and to change his value ... same for text , color, images, videos ....

My tast is to create new rendering system for our app... and we have over 5k templates ...

I can provide to you link to download template to look in which strange format i geting data..

my template is 👍
