    Hello.
    Does any one know how to export a comp as photoshop layers or know of any script that will allow me to do this.

    I know I could export as a sequence and build them up as layers in PS but this seams to be a time consuming method.

    Any help would me very much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Martyn.

    If you only need a single frame with Layers do this:

    Go to Composition –> Save Frame As –> Photoshop Layers

    If you need all frames with layers, I believe this will do it for you, but haven’t tried it myself.

    Good luck!

    Hi Jeff,
    thanks for the reply.

    I installed the scripted it’s great for getting all frames as single files quicker than rendering them via “Composition –> Save Frame As –> Photoshop Layers”.

    Whilst pulling my hair out wondering how to make them in to one photoshop document, I found that PS CS3 has a script that that stacks single files into one PS doc. Yippy!!!

    And you can download a CS 2 version here

    Thanks again Jeff.
