nexrender jsx scripting image

I'm using nexrender package to automate after effects template & data driven video based. in AE program I have 2 images. 1 image with a blending mode (stroke-png.png), the second image gets the effect and mask into. as you can see here

enter image description here enter image description here

when I edit the JSON I want to change the photo dynamically so I change it

"type": "image",
"layerName": "Change this Photo"

}

enter image description here

How can I add image with the blending effect? in the last time it not get the effect I want. in the nexrender package I see there is a way to use jsx scripting or avlayer-frameblending..

when I create new preComp from the layer and change the image as in the json - it still not show me the effect and not good as in the picture above.. enter image description here

    "type": "image",
    "layerName": "ImageChange"
  },
Solution

  • You could use jsx scripting, but I think an easier method would be to create a new precomp of your image. (Right click the layer and choose Pre-compose...). That way you can leave your blending mode and mask settings on the Comp layer.

    You can then replace the image inside your new Composition, no need for jsx!
