Live trace more than 10 images

Post by lwmotion »

I'm trying to use bridge to treat a video sequence with live trace but am limited to only being able to treat 10 images at a time. I'm no programmer or scripter so is there some simple way to change a hidden preference file of some kind. I've been looking for this file for the last few hours and no luck. I'm really just totally frustrated and don't know why this bridge limitation is in place to begin with. I am using illustrator cs2 and bridge for windows xp.

I would be extremely greatful for any and all help,

1. Open the LiveTrace_AI.jsx file in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\StartupScripts folder.
2. Make a copy of the file and store it in another folder, as a backup.
3. Right-click the file LiveTrace_AI.jsx and choose Properties.
4. Make sure Read-Only is deselected, and click OK.
5. Double-click the LiveTrace_AI.jsx file. It opens in Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit, which is installed with Production Studio Premium. (If it opens in a different program, close the other program. Start Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit, choose File > Open, and then locate and open the file).
6. Scroll to line 34, where you’ll see the following text:
var MAX_BATCH_SIZE = 10;
7. Change the 10 to a number higher than the number of stills you’re processing, such as 99999.
9. Save and close the file.
