Is there any official API doc for AE Scripts? #108

Closed MickeyMiao7 closed 1 year ago

MickeyMiao7 commented 1 year ago

Hi, I am new to adobe AE script developing. The reason i raise this issue is that it's hard for me to find any official API doc for AE scripting, and thats why this repo is so useful for me. I found some knowledge in https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/expression-language.html but most of them are deprecated. I am sorry that probably it is not a good place to raise this question, but i am really curious how you guys find the AE API. Is there any useful suggestions for developing / debugging AE scripts?

Hi @MickeyMiao7,

I suppose you are talking about Adobe's ExtendScript instead of After Effects expressions, if so you can see the documentation here:

@MickeyMiao7 I'm very new to the Adobe scripting and I too have found documentation to be sparse.

I had a lot of success using ChatGPT to help write and explain Illustrator scripts - it's been an invaluable resource to get some Illustrator automation scripts off the ground and I highly recommend experimenting with it!
