    Personally. I love the versatility of after effects. But as someone doing this for a living, I treat everything as tools and go between Avid, Premier, and After Effects depending on which agency I’m working for and their pipeline. When my business was having a rough time a couple years ago, I reached out to them and explained the situation, and they discounted my monthly subscription a LOT, to help get me through the year. Again. They are just tools but Adobe has always been very supportive of me and my colleagues. Great channel btw - you got a new Sub 🙌

    Thanks for this! I'm working on a vertical composition, trying to make the image fill the space. When fed landscape-orientation images in a vertical comp, it doesn't seem to work. @2:54 You are showing the script here to make it work, but it seems like both scripts are exactly the same. If I switch out the imgWidth & imgHeight with one another in the vertical comp script, will that work?

    • @keeprollingKenni
      @keeprollingKenni 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      LOL I answered my own question! I tried this solution and it works! Below is the script for the vertical comps: Vertical Composition: ------------ img = thisLayer; imgWidth = img.width; imgHeight = img.height; if (imgHeight > 2*imgWidth) {100} else if (imgHeight <= imgWidth) {100} else {0} Horizontal Composition: ------------ img = thisLayer; imgWidth = img.width; imgHeight = img.height; if (imgWidth > 2*imgHeight) {100} else if (imgWidth <= imgHeight) {100} else {0}
