New text script hooks for font management
New script hooks are designed to improve control over font synchronization and replacement using the After Effects API. These updates allow you to manage fonts in your projects more efficiently.
Text script hooks |
describe |
---|---|
app.fonts.mruFontFamilyList |
This read-write property is an array of font family names. CharPanel etc. is used to initialize its Most Recently Used (MRU) font list. |
app.fonts.favoriteFontFamilyList |
This read-write property is an array of font family names. CharPanel etc. are used to initialize the favorite font list. |
app.fonts.freezeSyncSubstitutedFonts |
This read-write property is a Boolean value that disables automatic font synchronization from Adobe Fonts if an entry is found to be missing. |
app.fonts.substitutedFontReplacementMatchPolicy |
This read-write property is an enumeration that modifies or disables automatic substitution of missing fonts or substitutes actual acceptable fonts. |
app.fonts.fontsDuplicateByPostScriptName |
This read-only property is an array where each element isFont ObjectThe zeroth element font object is considered to be the primary font object for the given PostScript name. |
app.fonts.pollForAndPushNonSystemFontFoldersChanges |
This feature will trigger a check of known non-system font folders, and if a change is identified, the font environment will be asynchronously updated to handle the change. |
Import files directly into a folder in the Project panel
Import files directly into After EffectsprojectFolders in the panel keep your content organized, reduce clutter, and make managing resources easier and more efficient.
Automatically name files using new properties and two new presets
useOutput toThe option to set a custom name and location for output files now includes two new file name presets:Composition name and aspect ratioas well asRendering next to the project files, the former incorporates the composition name and its aspect ratio into the file name, and the latter saves the rendered output in the same directory as the project file.
In addition, when you useFile Name and Location Templatesdialog box will add a new property,Aspect ratio.
Version 24.0.1.2 changes:
After Effects features new features, user-requested workflow improvements, and important fixes, allowing users to work more efficiently and design with greater detail without compromising their creative vision.
1. Next-generation rotoscoping with the enhanced Roto brush
The next generation Roto Brush, powered by an all-new AI model, extracts objects from footage faster and more accurately than ever before, requiring fewer corrections. Even when tracking overlapping objects or working with hard-to-mask footage like hair and transparencies, the results are optimized for beautiful composites.
2.OpenColorIO workflow enhancements
After Effects now offers OCIO Look Transform and OCIO CDL Transform options as effects that process color using OpenColorIO in the Color Correction category. You don’t need to enable OpenColorIO color management in your project to use these effects.
OCIO appearance transformation
Apply an appearance transformation or reverse a transformation to a layer or composition.
OCIO CDL transformation
Applies a CDL transform or inverses a transform to a layer or composition.
3. New script hooks for text and font manipulation
You can now use a new set of script hooks for text and font manipulation. These new hooks are designed to match the scripting of After Effects UI content.
In addition to expansion TextDocument In addition to the object, there are two new objects:
- Font Object:Font ObjectProvides information about the current font environment on the device. This will allow you to retrieve all available fonts and iterate over them.
- Font Object:Font ObjectProvides information about a specific font and the font technology used, useful for disambiguating when multiple fonts sharing the same Postscript name are installed on the system.
Other Updates
Added support for HEVC and H264 hardware acceleration on Intel discrete graphics cards
After Effects now supports hardware decoding and encoding of H264/HEVC files on Intel discrete graphics cards (Intel Arc), further improving the performance of the application. Learn more about media features supported by Intel hardware.
Hardware acceleration for R3D on Windows
As part of our latest improvements, we've added GPU hardware decode acceleration for RED's R3D raw format on Windows (GPU acceleration was already available for macOS). GPU support is available for NVIDIA and AMD GPUs with 6GB or more of video memory.
