MANUAL / SCRIPTING & EXPRESSIONS

Scripts

The File ▸ Scripts menu — run script files, convert AE scripts, request scripts and open the Scripts folder.

What it does

File ▸ Scripts runs Brio Script files and gets you to the tools around them.

ItemWhat it does
Run Script File…Pick a .js or .jsx file and run it.
Convert AE Script…Pick an After Effects .jsx / .js and have it rewritten for Brio. See Convert AE Script.
Request a Script…Tell Brio which AE script you'd like to use. See Request a Script.
(script names)Every script in the Scripts folder, listed by name. Click one to run it.
Open Scripts FolderOpens the Scripts folder on disk.
Script ConsoleShows or hides the Script Console panel.

How to use it

  1. Save a .js or .jsx file into the Scripts folder (File ▸ Scripts ▸ Open Scripts Folder).
  2. It appears in File ▸ Scripts — the list refreshes when Brio comes to the front and every few seconds.
  3. Choose it. The first time a script runs (and again whenever its contents change), Brio asks you to confirm.
  4. The Script Console opens and shows the run.

Tips and limits

  • One undo takes back the whole run.
  • A compiled .jsxbin can't be converted — its source isn't in the file.
  • If a run fails, the error suggests Convert AE Script….
