Yes, I think there is a solution to this... You can run a script by calling afterfx.exe again, from the operating system, with the script as an argument. This doesn't open a new instance of After Effects, it just runs the script in the existing session. Use the -r switch and then the full path of the script you wish to run e.g. afterfx -r c:\myscripts\save_and_increment.jsx Knowing this, the software that comes with most customisable keyboards allows you to bind a shortcut to them to run a custom program (calc/notepad etc.). So just create a windows shortcut to the AfterFX exe with the argument as above, and run this shortcut from your key. Hope this helps Chris
