Python Problem

Coding Python Support

Hi Everyone, my name is Niki, i am new to Blender but i really like the Software and want to master it and since this seems like a really nice community i decided to sign up :slight_smile:

My Python Problem(s): I’m trying to run ATOMs ATOM_AE2Blender27_05302014.jsx but when i click Run Script, nothing happens. Also when opening the Script in Blenders TextEditor,(or copy-pasting from the OSX TextEdit) it puts the whole text in one single line, without line-breaks. Could this be related to my Problem?

Secondly i tried to install several scrips that should add import/export Options to Blender but none of them worked. All i see under File > Import/Export are the default options. What i did was creating a folder at Documents/Blender/Scrips, pointed Blender to that Location, saved user Prefs and restarted Blender.

First i tried both things in 2.77, then i updated to 2.78a, but sadly it didn’t help… and i’m on OSX 10.10.5

What do you think, could my two Problems be related? Or am i making some noob-mistake?:eyebrowlift2:

I would appreciate any help or advice, thanks and kind regards

Hey, thanks for all the help and Support you guys, i thought i give you a quick Update.

I realised, that last time i tried to use Atoms script the wrong way around. It worked just fine in my most recent tests in blender 2.78 and AE CC 2015.0

The Problem with Scripts not executing in Blender when i clicked Run Script was indeed related to the line-break issue. The free TextWrangler for OSX fixes this. Just drag the .py File into textWrangler, hit cmd+s and save as a new .py File.

Problem with the Import/Export Scripts: for the After Effects .jsx exporter i just had to go to user Prefs / AddOns, search for “jsx” and enable the checkbox. But i was not so fortunate with other add ons, until just now ( I just figured this out while writing this).
You have to go to user Prefs / AddOns, then click IMPORT FROM FILE…(I don’t freakin believe it :eek:)

I guess, sometimes its best to sleep a few nights on a problem and come back with a fresh approach:)
Greetings to all
