#AfterEffects rendering multiple tag versions

I often have to produce several different versions of a composition (usually in different languages) - and, boy, is it easy to make a mistake. I finally sat down and wrote a little script that will allow me to run multiple render versions with one go. It's not perfect but it's a start and it works nicely with Zorro.

Basically, the script parses the comment tag of all layers in all compositions in your project. Depending on your settings in the "On" or "Off" window, it will activate or de-activate a layer including sound. It will then add the extension (3 chars max) to the file name and render out that particular version.

Don't know if this is for use to anyone else, but I'm putting up a link here. Enjoy. Please leave a comment if you think this is useful. (only tested in cs5 but should work with anything after cs3)
