Question

How does one loop through all the compositions in the currently opened After Effects project?

Was it helpful?

Solution

The app.project.items holds all the compositions, and folders in the currently opened project. So this way I can loop through all of these, and I also have to check for whether it is a composition (since it can be a folder as well).

for (var i = 1; i <= app.project.numItems; i++) {
    if (app.project.item(i) instanceof CompItem) {
        // Do stuff with the composition.
        // app.project.item(i) is the composition.
    }
}
