 ESPANOL  -  Como instalar y usar los scripts
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Los dos scripts (JSON_to_Markers.jsx y Liquid_Glass.jsx) se instalan de la
misma forma. Elige UNA de las dos opciones de abajo.


OPCION A  -  Panel acoplado (recomendado)
-----------------------------------------

1. Cierra Adobe After Effects si lo tienes abierto.

2. Copia el archivo .jsx descargado dentro de la carpeta
   "ScriptUI Panels" de After Effects, segun tu sistema operativo:

   WINDOWS:
     C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects <version>\Support Files\Scripts\ScriptUI Panels\

     Ejemplo con la version 2025:
     C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2025\Support Files\Scripts\ScriptUI Panels\

   macOS:
     /Applications/Adobe After Effects <version>/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels/

     Ejemplo con la version 2025:
     /Applications/Adobe After Effects 2025/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels/

3. Abre After Effects.

4. La PRIMERA VEZ, activa los scripts en:
   Edit (Edicion)  ->  Preferences (Preferencias)  ->  Scripting & Expressions
   Marca la casilla:  "Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access Network"
   (Permitir que los scripts escriban archivos y accedan a la red).
   Reinicia After Effects.

5. Abre el panel desde el menu:
   Window (Ventana)  ->  JSON to Markers
   Window (Ventana)  ->  Liquid Glass

   Puedes arrastrar el panel y acoplarlo donde prefieras de la interfaz.


OPCION B  -  Ejecutar como ventana flotante (sin instalar)
----------------------------------------------------------

1. Guarda el archivo .jsx en cualquier carpeta de tu disco.

2. En After Effects:  File (Archivo)  ->  Scripts  ->  Run Script File...
   (Ejecutar archivo de script...)

3. Selecciona el archivo .jsx y se abrira como ventana flotante.

   Nota: con esta opcion el panel NO queda acoplado. Cada vez que abras
   After Effects tendras que repetir el paso 2.


Solucion de problemas
---------------------

- No veo el script en el menu Window:
    Confirma que copiaste el .jsx dentro de "ScriptUI Panels"
    (no en "Scripts" suelto) y reinicia After Effects.

- Mensaje "Scripts are not allowed to write files":
    Activa la opcion del paso 4 en Preferences.

- Permisos de Windows al copiar:
    La carpeta Program Files pide permisos de administrador.
    Confirma el dialogo de Windows o copia el archivo desde
    una sesion con privilegios elevados.

- Carpeta "Adobe After Effects <version>":
    Reemplaza <version> por la version instalada (por ejemplo 2024, 2025).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ENGLISH  -  How to install and use the scripts
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Both scripts (JSON_to_Markers.jsx and Liquid_Glass.jsx) install the same way.
Pick ONE of the two options below.


OPTION A  -  Docked panel (recommended)
---------------------------------------

1. Quit Adobe After Effects if it is open.

2. Copy the downloaded .jsx file into the After Effects
   "ScriptUI Panels" folder for your operating system:

   WINDOWS:
     C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects <version>\Support Files\Scripts\ScriptUI Panels\

     Example for version 2025:
     C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2025\Support Files\Scripts\ScriptUI Panels\

   macOS:
     /Applications/Adobe After Effects <version>/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels/

     Example for version 2025:
     /Applications/Adobe After Effects 2025/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels/

3. Launch After Effects.

4. The FIRST TIME, enable scripting from:
   Edit  ->  Preferences  ->  Scripting & Expressions
   Tick the checkbox:  "Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access Network".
   Restart After Effects.

5. Open the panel from the menu:
   Window  ->  JSON to Markers
   Window  ->  Liquid Glass

   You can drag the panel and dock it anywhere in the interface.


OPTION B  -  Run as a floating window (no install)
--------------------------------------------------

1. Save the .jsx file anywhere on your disk.

2. In After Effects:  File  ->  Scripts  ->  Run Script File...

3. Pick the .jsx file and it will open as a floating window.

   Note: with this option the panel is NOT docked. You will have to
   repeat step 2 each time you open After Effects.


Troubleshooting
---------------

- The script does not appear in the Window menu:
    Confirm the .jsx file is inside "ScriptUI Panels"
    (not in plain "Scripts") and restart After Effects.

- Error "Scripts are not allowed to write files":
    Enable the option in step 4 inside Preferences.

- Windows permission prompt when copying:
    The Program Files folder requires administrator rights.
    Approve the Windows dialog or copy the file from an
    elevated session.

- The folder "Adobe After Effects <version>":
    Replace <version> with the installed version (for example 2024, 2025).
