  Can you export with hidden layers visible in final product?

  Posted by Mike Soprano on January 5, 2012 at 6:04 am

  I have a large project that I need to export as one continuos piece. The only problem I have is that I cannot make all the groups visible at the same time because Motion can not handle them and crashes. Everything is the way I want it, is their a way I can export the project where the layers I have hidden still appear in the final export?

  Thanks in advance.

  Why don’t you “bake” certain complex groups by exporting just that group, and replacing the group with the baked movie? Motion can do this for you semi-automically using Export Selection and there’s an option to reimport into project in the export dialog. Once you’ve done this a few times, you should be able to then export the full project.
