Getting started with Scripting
WIP
- JavaScript: The Definitive Guide by David Flanagan (Just read the parts about coding; not web dev)
- https://estk.aenhancers.com/index.html (Contains ScriptUI documentation)
- ScriptUI
- Two ways to browse the object structure to see what exists:
- Open up the Adobe Extendscript Toolkit (ESTK, on a Mac it's in Applications > Utilities > Adobe Utilities...), then open Help > Object Model Viewer, choosing "ScriptUI classes" from the top left drop down menu.Or look at the Javascript Tools Guide, + the Intro to Scripting guide in the help menu
- NotesFor a script to be dockable, you must install the scripts into the ScriptUI folder, and you must invoke it from the Window menu. Then it will open as a panel, and you can drag and drop it into the UI as you would any other panel.

I usually recommend people to watch FXPhd training on Introduction to After Effects Scripting. From there on, you should be confident enough to pave your own path; yes it is that magical.
Automation is a concept; there is no standard technique. You need to have the foundations of coding and scripting to create your automation workflow.
