Why doesn’t ‘Save frame as PS layers’ include adjustment layers?
How can I export the adjustment layer properly from AE when saving a frame as Photoshop layers?
I am doing animations for menus in AE, and want to export the ‘landed’ frame to use as the menu.But the adjustment layer does nothing to the PS file, so the colour of the sill frame is different. This means that I can’t have a seamless transition between the animation and the menu.
Does anyone have a workaround, or a way of copying the settings from the AE adj. layer onto a new PS adj. layer?
Many thanks,
Victoria -

Throw your comp into a new comp and save the frame from there.

That will just save as one layer, which wasn’t the intent, I think.
Some things in AE just don’t work in PS. I’d save the adjustment layer’s effect(s) as a preset, then apply that preset to the rest of the layers below.
If that works in your case.

That gave the same problem, but thanks.
However, I have just discovered that if you save the effect on the adjustment layer (a curves one in this case) as a .ACV file, and then in PS make a new adj. layer and load a preset, it works, although the colour of the PS file is slightly different to the AE file.

Sorry, I should have checked for more replies before posting the same answer!

On a similar theme, does anyone know if it is possible to retain text layers as editable text in PS when saving a PSD out of AE?
Thanks.

Nope. Not possible either.

Yikes, better not do anymore still Graphics and captions in AE then!
After something you said last week about keeping everything in AE Mylenium, I tried doing an entire job from within AE today (a roto & animation and then a bunch of still captions with mattes for the NLE) and whilst the font search is a bit rubbish in AE it was a fairly good workflow in all….until that is, it came to saving numbered matte/master stills out of AE! Quite a long and clumsy process, but then I guess AE isn’t for stills – hence I’ll be using PS for the majority of my work still…
…and just hope the folks at Adobe make AE&PS play a little more friendly together! 🙂
