Feature Request: UXP API for Selective Comp Import and Export

After Effects
, ,
1

Hello Adobe team,

Currently, when importing compositions from an .aep file in After Effects, it is only possible to import all compositions. There is no way to select and import only one or multiple specific compositions.

Because of this, I would like to request that UXP provide an API that allows developers to choose which compositions to import when importing from an .aep file. For example:

project.importComps(args);

In addition, the current API does not support exporting one or more compositions into a separate project file. I hope the new UXP API can include this functionality so that compositions can be exported into another project file.When exporting, it would also be helpful if the API allowed us to choose whether to collect all dependent files as well. For example:

project.exportComps(compsToExport, filePath, collectDependencies, exportIntoSameProject);

It would also be ideal if both the import and export methods could run silently, without After Effects repeatedly opening project files during the process.

Thank you for considering this request.

It would also be greatly appreciated if these two features could be integrated directly into After Effects, rather than being available only through the API.
