After Effects - Command line script invocation does not work
I am on Windows 10 build 1809 and using AE 16.0.1 build 48. I am new to scripting but not new to AE.
I have a script that I am able to run successfully from File --> Scripts menu. But when I run the same script using the command line, it does not work. This is what I use to invoke the script:
"C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe After Effects CC 2019Support FilesAfterFX.exe" -r "C:UsersAMSDesktoptestscriptsAE Duplicate Layer.jsx"
You can see that I am providing the full pathname for the script. I tried running the Windows CMD terminal as admin, but didn't help.
The script is not even being called. I know this because it has an alert call in it as the first statement, and it is not executing.
The script is pretty simple, it rotates a shape by 45 degrees in a loop, 10 times:
alert("You just sent an alert to After Effects");
var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
var myLayer = myComp.layer(1);
var myCounter = 1;
while (myCounter <= 10) {
var dupLayer = myLayer.duplicate();
dupLayer.rotation.setValue(myCounter*45);
myCounter = myCounter + 1;
}
I also have enabled the option "Allows scripts to write files and access network".
What could be wrong here?
