Methods

# static cleanExportData(data) → {object}

Cleans data from an After Effects animation before exporting it.
This is a low-level function which you may need only if building your own export formats.
It cleans the data returned by the "getAnim" functions (see DuAELayer.getAnim, DuAELayer.getAnims, DuAEProperty.getAnim) to be able to store it in a text file.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
data object The animation

# static cleanImportData(data) → {object}

Cleans data from a JSON before loading it.
This is a low-level function which you may need only if building your own import formats.
It cleans the data stored after having used DuAEF.Interchange.animation.cleanAnimExportData
to be able to set the animations using the "setAnim" functions (see DuAEF.DuAE.Layer.setAnim, DuAEF.DuAE.Property.setAnim).
Parameters:
Name Type Description
data object The animation

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Default Description
jsonFile File The file containing the animation
layers Array.<Layer> | DuList.<Layer> | LayerCollection <optional>
The layers. If omitted, will get the selected layers from the current comp, or all layers if none are selected.
keyframesOnly Boolean <optional>
false If true, will load only keyframes, but not static values or expressions.
matchNames Array.<string> <optional>
[] A filter for the properties to load. If empty, will load all properties.
offset Boolean <optional>
false Whether to offset the current values or use absolute values.
reverse Boolean <optional>

string

# static paste(data, compopt, replaceopt, offsetopt, reverseopt, matchNamesopt, keyframesOnlyopt, expressionsopt, dontMoveAncestorsopt)

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Default Description
data Array.<DuAELayerAnimation> The animation data to paste
comp CompItem <optional>
The composition.
replace Boolean <optional>
false Whether to completely erase and replace the current animation
offset Boolean <optional>

reverse Boolean <optional>
false Whether to reverse the animation
