根據結構型別的屬性分類
在 After Effects 的指令碼開發中，圖層的屬性可被區分為三種型別：PROPERTY、INDEXED_GROUP 和 NAMED_GROUP 。通過使用app.project.item().layer().propertySpec.propertyType 可以對屬性的型別進行判斷。在 AEGP 外掛的開發中這些型別對應為 AEGP_StreamGroupingType_LEAF 、AEGP_StreamGroupingType_INDEXED_GROUP 和 AEGP_StreamGroupingType_NAMED_GROUP，通過呼叫 AEGP_DynamicStreamSuite 的AEGP_GetStreamGroupingType 方法進行獲取。
PROPERTY（LEAF）型別的屬性為屬性組中最底層的屬性，即具有對應的值可供使用者操作調整的屬性；INDEXED_GROUP 型別的屬性組中子級的名稱可編輯，換言之 INDEXED_GROUP 型別的屬性組中的子級是不固定的，可進行增刪，如效果和蒙版都是這種型別；NAMED_GROUP 型別的屬性組具有固定的子級屬性，且子級屬性的名稱是不可更改的。
在指令碼中直接輸出 propertyType 時會輸出一個數字，這是 ExtendScript 中定義的 PropertyType 列舉。
例如，某個圖層的“變換”屬性組的 propertyType 輸出值如圖所示，表明“變換”是一個 NAMED_GROUP 屬性組。
某個文字圖層的“文字”屬性組下的“動畫製作工具”屬性組是一個 INDEXED_GROUP 屬性組。
屬性的可見性
在 AEGP 外掛的開發中可以通過呼叫 AEGP_DynamicStreamSuite 的 AEGP_GetDynamicStreamFlags 方法獲取屬性的標誌，其中具有幾個值得注意的內容。AEGP_DynStreamFlag_ELIDED 標誌著一個屬性組始終不會將自身顯示在時間軸皮膚中，但它的子級屬性會直接顯示在該屬性組的父級屬性組中。一個常用的例子是文字圖層的“動畫製作工具”：當給文字圖層新增一個動畫製作工具後，“文字”屬性組中“動畫製作工具 1”會與“源文字”、“路徑選項”和“更多選項”並列顯示，但實際上“動畫製作工具 1”是存在於“動畫製作工具”屬性組中的，但由於“動畫製作工具”具有 ELIDED 標誌，導致“動畫製作工具”不會顯示在時間軸中。編寫指令碼時訪問此類屬性組中的屬性需要注意。另外，在指令碼中使用 app.project.item().layer().porpertySpec.elided 也能獲取到某屬性組是否具有 ELIDED 標誌。
特定型別圖層所具有的屬性組是固定的，未顯示在時間軸中的屬性不代表它不存在，通常未被修改的屬性及其屬性組會被隱藏。在指令碼中可以通過app.project.item().layer().porpertySpec.isModified判斷某屬性在建立後是否被修改。
圖層屬性的結構
在指令碼中圖層可以當作屬性組進行處理，如下圖所示：
在 AEGP 外掛開發中通常使用 AEGP_DynamicStreamSuite 的 AEGP_GetNewStreamRefForLayer方法檢索與圖層對應的 AEGP_StreamRefH ，用於啟動圖層屬性流的遞迴。亦是將圖層作為屬性組進行處理。
因圖層是 NAMED_GROUP 型別的屬性組，故其子級屬性組是固定的。本文整理了AVLayer、TextLayer、ShapeLayer、CameraLayer 和 LightLayer 五類圖層的屬性組結構，其中包括屬性的中文名稱與其 MatchName 的對照。因樹形圖尺寸過大，以下提供 FreeMind 檔案的下載連結：https://wwe.lanzoui.com/ilSn0v23p3e
若您對遍歷某屬性組中的屬性有興趣，也可以參考以下指令碼程式碼：
var str = '';
var selProp = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0].property("Transform");//將該變數修改為您需要遍歷的屬性組
var numProps = selProp.numProperties;
for(var i = 0; i < numProps; i ++){
str += selProp.property(i + 1).name + ' - ' + selProp.property(i + 1).matchName + '\n';//輸出名稱和 MatchName
}
alert(str);
