AE_PropertyToCSV

The script generates a .csv file per-selected-property of a single layer, containing the respective values at each frame of the composition.

The generated .csv file is in the format:

frame0,value1,value2,...,valueN
frame1,value1,value2,...,valueN
...
frameX,value1,value2,...,valueN

The file name is in the format: LayerName_PropertyName.csv

##Usage:

1. Just select the properties that you want to bake in the timeline. You can select how many properties you wish, but you shall not select more than one layer.
2. From the File->Script menu select the script file (.jsx).
3. Choose the folder where you want to save the .csv files from the dialog
4. The Info panel will show the path of the selected folder, one per property.
5. You're done!

###Heads up!

• If a file with the same name already exists in the destination folder, the script will overwrite it.

##Todo:

• Let the user specify the separation character (e.g. TAB)
• Manage the exceptions instead of using if, else
• Let the user specify a frame range, rather than baking the entire comp
• Build a basic UI
• Tidy up code
• Ask what to do if the file already exists
