    Hi,

    Before i continue i apologise for clogging up the general forum but there appears to be no sub-forum for extendscript.

    However, my question is thus.

    I after effects i have a composition with roughly 200 layers, I need to render each layer separately to *.mov. To do this manually would be an absolute pain in the butt, so i was wondering i anyone could give me some help to make a little script.

    The steps I think I will need are as follows,

    open comp,
    choose top layer,
    solo this layer,
    tripm comp to movie length,
    render to mov,
    deleter layer 1,
    repeat.

    If anyone could help me at all with this it would be greatly aprchiated.

    Thanks
