After Effects .jsx Script Runner (tsx version)

English introduction | 中文介绍

Platform

  • Windows
  • Mac Os (not supported yet)

Features

  • Run .jsx, .jsxbin, or .tsx script files.
  • Multiple version detection: If only one instance of After Effects is running, the script will run directly. If multiple instances are running, a prompt will appear asking you to choose which version to test.

Usage

To access the command in the editor title, context menu, or command panel, launch Adobe After Effects and open a .jsx or .tsx file in VS Code.

Command:

Testing with multiple versions of After Effects:

Demo

fail?

  1. make sure you have a ts environment (nodejs...)
  2. make sure you get a right tsconfig.json configuration file

How it works

  1. Retrieve the location of the running After Effects application using child_process.
  2. Look for tsconfig.json to get the outDir option.
  3. Look for rollup.config.js file. If found, create a tsx-link.jsonfile, write input and output, and then compile using rollup -c (instead of tsc).
  4. Run the final script.

Multiple versions

if you have multiple versions ae running, you can add config to .vscode/settings.json

{
    // ...
    "ae-tsx-runner": {
        "hostSpecifier": "22.0" // only run with ae 22.0
    }
}

tsconfig.json

outDir: AE Script run directory

ES3: AE Script version

types-for-adobe :AE Script type support

your tsconfig.json (for testing your ae script) like:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "ES3",
        "ignoreDeprecations": "5.0",
        "strict": true,
        "noLib": true,
        "outDir": "./dist",
        "jsx": "preserve",
        "useDefineForClassFields": false,
        "noUnusedParameters": true,
        "noUnusedLocals": true,
        "skipLibCheck": true,
        "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
        "noEmit": false,
        "resolveJsonModule": true,
        "esModuleInterop": true,
        "types": ["./node_modules/types-for-adobe/AfterEffects/22.0"]
    },
    "include": ["src/**/*.ts", "src/**/*.tsx"],
    "exclude": ["node_modules"]
}

rollup (for ts)

Rollup is a module bundler for JavaScript which compiles small pieces of code into something larger and more complex.

▷ install

npm install typescript rollup rollup-plugin-typescript2 --save-dev

▷ Import Sample

// A.tsx
export const str = "Hello World";

// B.tsx
import {num} from "./A"
alert(str)

▷ rollup.config.js

import typescript from "rollup-plugin-typescript2";
import * as fs from "fs";

// tsk-link.json(auto generate) 

const readJSONFile = (filePath) => {
    const data = fs.readFileSync(filePath, { encoding: "utf8" });
    return JSON.parse(data);
};

const tsx_link = readJSONFile("./tsx-link.json");

export default {
    input: tsx_link["input"],
    output: {
        file: tsx_link["output"],
        format: "iife",
        name: "MyApp",
    },
    plugins: [
        typescript({
            tsconfig: "tsconfig.json",
        }),
    ],
};
