Methods
Example
If the first item in the project is a CompItem, the following example would disable the first layer in that
composition (i.e., turn the eyeball icon off) and rename it to "Lord High Imperial Layer."
var firstLayer = app.project.item(1).layer(1);
firstLayer.enabled = false;
firstLayer.name = "Lord High Imperial Layer";
Layer active attribute
app.project.item(index).layer(index)
.active
Description
The Layer active attribute is true if the layer's video is active at the current time.
To be true, the layer must be enabled; no other layer may be soloing unless this layer is soloed too, and the time
must be in between the inPoint and outPoint of this layer.
Note that an audio layer will not have active as true; there is a separate audioActive attribute in the AVLayer
object.
Type
Boolean; read-only.
Layer activeAtTime() method
app.project.item(index).layer(index)
.activeAtTime(
time
)
