You’re welcome, it’s a very little contribution and really nothing compared to all I can learn here (or elsewhere in the worldwide motion community).

Happy you appreciate this !

I’ve just found the solution :
the problem was AE ran in French so the script couldn’t run.

1 : You have to force AE to open in english (CS5) :
create an empty text file called : ae_force_english.TXT
in the folder MAcHD/User/home/documents/

2 : Open your project use the script it must work, save it

3 : rename the ae_force_english.TXT text file

4 : Open AE in french (or other language) open your project :
- There is notifications telling expressions are bad (syntax error), just correct them by translating the words (slider=curseur, layer=calque, etc…) or use the script TransalateExpression.jsx (can be found on aescript.com)

5 : save your script and your project

6 : that’s done

The cool thing is it must be the same way for any script wich have this kind of problem

French :

J’ai trouvé une solution de bricolage (sous CS5) :

1 : créer un fichier texte vide ae_force_english.TXT sous MacHD/Utilisateur/maison/documents/ cela force le démarrage de AE en anglais (donc l’expression sera bonne)

2 : appliquer votre script et enregistrer votre projet avec le script qui fonctionne

3 : redémarrer AE en prenant soin de renommer le fichier ae_force_english.TXT

4 : ouvrir le projet, une série d’avertissements concernant l’expression vous annonce qu’elle est désactivée faute d’erreurs de synthaxes ;

remplacer alors les noms de paramètres anglais par leurs équivalents en français (Slider = Curseur, Layer=Calque, etc…) ou utiliser le script TransalteExpression.jsx dispo sur le site AEscript sur chaque ligne d’expressions (on ne peut pas le faire dès le départ puisque le script se bloque vers la ligne 52 et qu’il ne créer pas les expressions dans le Null cameracontrol et la camera…)

5 : enregistrer votre projet et le script traduit

Voilà !

en espérant que ça serve à quelqu’un, en plus cette méthode doit être valable pour n’importe quel script ; )

Hi James ! Thanks a lot for all your work.

I just tryied your rig but it seems it doesn’t works with french version.
I can’t find out the solution but it says that it is at the line 52 “undefined is not an object”

I’ll try to find out and give you some feedback.

Thanks (one more time ; ) )

hi, thanks very much for your script but I suggest that you re-check it for X and Y pos or you show us how to pick-whip them because they appear red which means an expression has been put so altering them is not possible for me because am not that good in after effects.please help and continue posting alot of tutorials they are much helping

I have only tested it on CS4 and CS5 and it seems to work on both of those. For the X and Y pos you can simple pick-whip the X and Y pos of the camera to two slider in the CamControl Null and it will do exactly the same process my script would have done.

hi I see on the tut that the script has an x pos and y pos but the script doesn’t have this when I run it. Is this for CS 4 AE or will it run on CS 3 & 4

the problem comes from localized versions of after effects.

is it possible to explain how to translate the script?

thank you anyway

Hello Diwago,
Sorry about the download link not working, I have recently switched servers so everything is a little all over the place but I have sorted out the link now if you would like to download the script.
Thanks for the support
