Layer management

This script allows you to control and define different layer properties during the render execution. The script is applied to the layer you want to control, and you only need to provide a parameter name which will be used to pass the layer properties when invoking the render.

Currently, the script supports the following properties:

If you define the parameter with a name my_layer_mng in the script, here is an example a JSON body to provide when invoking the render, in order to set duration of a target layer to 5.5 seconds:

{
	"projectId": "5bf8483b-a591-476a-afff-0db5fe1ea70f",
	"parameters": {
		"my_layer_mng": {
			"duration": 5.5
		}
	}
}

Here is the extended example with additional properties:

{
	"projectId": "5bf8483b-a591-476a-afff-0db5fe1ea70f",
	"parameters": {
		"my_layer_mng": {
			"duration": 10,
			"startTime": 2,
			"enabled": true,
			"audioEnabled": false,
			"font": "Montserrat-ExtraBoldItalic",
			"fontSize": 32
		}
	}
}

Here is the example that changes composition size:

{
	"projectId": "5bf8483b-a591-476a-afff-0db5fe1ea70f",
	"parameters": {
		"my_layer_mng": {
			"width": 1920,
			"height": 1080
		}
	}
}

Using via webapp

Support for the layer management script is also available on the UI. First you need to add the layer management script to a layer that you want to control and save the template.

Navigate to the Render form, and you will see your layer management script as part of the parameters. Expand the script and define the changes you want to make to the layer, and hit render.

Layer management parameters also work with batch renders. Either define a column with values for each render, or input a single value that will be applied to all renders.
