Description

The preserveNestedResolution attribute determines whether the resolution of nested compositions is

preserved in the current composition. This corresponds to the value of the Preserve Resolution When Nested

option in the Advanced tab of the Composition Settings dialog box.

Type

Boolean; if true, nested frame rate is preserved. Read/write.

CompItem resolutionFactor attribute

app.project.item(index).

resolutionFactor

Description

The resolutionFactor attribute speciﬁes the sampling resolution of the comp when rendering.

Each of the two values in the array speciﬁes how many pixels to skip when sampling in one of the two direc-

tions. The ﬁrst number controls horizontal sampling; the second controls vertical sampling. Each of the two

integers must lie in the range [1..99]. Full resolution is [1,1], half resolution is [2,2], and quarter resolution is

[4,4]. The default is [1,1].

Type

Array of two integers, describing the

and

downsample resolution factor; read/write.

CompItem selectedLayers attribute

selectedLayers

Description

This attribute yields an array containing all of the selected Layers in this CompItem.

Type

Array of Layer objects; read-only.
