labwork… rd: Pre-compose
another new one in the lab is rd: Pre-compose, a variation of the built-in Pre-compose command, but with the ability to specify head and tail handles for subsequent trimming. this one was requested by Gary Jaeger back in january, but has been on simmer until now (i.e., until i had an excuse for releasing labwork 
). as usual, feel free to leave your feedback (input, requests, bug reports, etc.) in the comments.

Hello! rd: Pre-compose is very cool and usefull script, i searching for a lot time, thanx for a good job! Can you made another one version of that script - processing all of layers in a composition or selected layers to rd:Pre-compose with autonaming with a template (Pre-comp_name+#). Or 2 different scripts - layers processor: to process choosed script for all layers - layer by layer (such as image processor script in photoshop). Sorry for my bad english:)

hi sergey,
i’ve been working on an update that would allow batch pre-composing (based on a request from another user), so i’ll see if i can add the renaming support with that. i don’t have an estimate for when it’ll be done, though.
thanks for your interest in this script.

Hi, Redefinery,
Cool Script and it works!. it is very useful. Thanks!
Question:
I have already installed the rd_pre-comopose but i could not understand to do this “It can be used as a dockable panel by placing the script in a ScriptUI Panels subfolder of the Scripts folder, and then choosing this script from the Window menu.” Could you tell me how to place the script in a ScriptUI?
Thanks again
Silvio

hi silvio,
this script displays a modal dialog box, and so shouldn’t be installed in the ScriptUI Panels folder. it doesn’t work as a dockable panel. the first version might’ve mentioned that erroneously, but should’ve been fixed in v0.91.
just run the script by choosing File > Scripts > Run Script File, then selecting the file. hope that helps.
