MANUAL / PANELS

Script Console

Shows each Brio Script run — what it printed, how many changes it made, and any error with its line number.

The Script Console records every Brio Script run, newest first. Open it from Window ▸ Script Console or File ▸ Scripts ▸ Script Console. Runs are kept while the app is open, so you can close and reopen the panel without losing them.

Brio Script reads After Effects-style scripts — app.project.activeItem, layers, properties, keyframes and expressions — and one undo takes back a whole run.

A run

Each run shows:

  • A status dot: accent while running, red on error, green when it finished.
  • The script name.
  • A summary: "running…", the number of changes and the time it took, "stopped after N changes", or "no changes".
  • Every line the script printed with $.writeln or alert.
  • An error, with its line number. Code Brio doesn't support is reported as Not in Brio Script:.
  • ↻ to run the same script again.

When a run fails, Convert AE Script… offers to rewrite what Brio can't run as-is.
