Hello,
i'm trying to add a grid of circles in after effects using a script.
The problem is that it use to much resources of my mac and the application shut down.
How can reduce the job for the processor?
Is it better to create a solid and mask it or to add a item from the project to use less resources?
Thanks in advance,
enrico
for(i=start; i<rows; i++){ for(j=0; j<cols; j++){
// create element
var neo = myComp.layers.addSolid([0,0,0], "dot"+i+"_"+j, pixelSize, pixelSize, 1);
neo.threeDLayer = true;
neo.motionBlur = true;
// mask circle
var newMask = neo.Masks.addProperty("Mask");
newMask.inverted = false;
myMaskShape = newMask.property("maskShape");
myShape = myMaskShape.value;
myShape.vertices = [[pixelSize/2,0],[pixelSize,pixelSize/2],[pixelSize/2,pixelSize],[0,pixelSize/2]];
myShape.inTangents = [[-pixelSize/3,0],[0,-pixelSize/3],[pixelSize/3, 0],[0,pixelSize/3]];
myShape.outTangents = [[pixelSize/3,0],[0,pixelSize/3],[-pixelSize/3,0],[0,-pixelSize/3]];
myShape.closed = true;
myMaskShape.setValue(myShape);
}
}
