I did a job where i had to take a huge number of shots and basically do the age-old “video love” effect where you duplicate the layer, blur it a bit and add a transfer mode. I decided this would be the perfect job for me to figure out scripting, so I started with Byron Nash’s excellent compify script which makes comps out of all the footage in your project that you have selected and added the “Video Love” section to it.

This script is useful for batch processing large number of files. To use it, simply select some footage or stills in your project window and run the script. A dialog box will allow you to set the options for stills and video love. The script will then create a new comp for each footage item with the video love trick applied.
