Hello everybody,
someone wrote a huge script for After Effects. It looks like he wrote it on a Mac.. He sent me a video Tutorial where he descriped what he could do with this script. When I try to reproduce this, I only get failes. For instance: A button should create five copies of a single layer, including automaticly a few controls into the effects control panel. On my bloody windows machine there were no effect controls, neigther a copy of the layer. Instead of this, there was a unknown layer created, no control, nothing like it should be.
So my question (after testing it on various machines, CS6 and CC): Could it be that this guy wrote all the stuff not in java script, but in apple script, and this is the reason why these script don't run as expected? Or could there be another reason, maybe the language of my machine(s)?
I asked myself: How does the Script environment works: does it translate all the scripts in a multi functional language, or is it basicly important to adapt the script language to the target running machines? Or in other words: If you do not write your code in java script, you should offer your scripts either only to Mac users or only to Win machines?
Hope it came clear what I wanted to ask... At least I wonna thank you for any kind of help or advices.
greetings from Bonn
Thorsten
