📲 Python and JSTalk script for acorn to add device frames to iPhone and iPad

Framer

It's life-changing!

Description

For a detailed description of the creation and purpose of Framer, see my blog post.

GitEgo - GitHub Stats for Framer

Required Downloads

Acorn

You'll need Acorn to run this script. It's worth every penny. Seriously, buy it right now.

JSTalk

JSTalk is required to automate Acorn. You can download it from the JSTalk website.

Note: Be sure that the jstalk application is in your path. I put mine in /usr/local/bin/

Usage

python framer.py DIRECTORY

This will parse all of the .png images in the directory you pass and frame them. The framed images will be placed in an output folder titled framed (if it doesn't exist it will be created).

Apple Resources Note

Make sure you go to the Apple marketing site and complete the App Marketing License Agreement.

Bugs

Quality can not be scripted for web export currently. Instead the quality will be set to whatever the quality was last set to in Acorn. Open Web Export in Acorn through File -> Web Export to change your quality settings. The creator of Acorn is aware of this and has notified me it will be fixed in Acorn 3.0.1.
