  • exporting individual layers/movies?

    Posted by Bobby Mosaedi on January 31, 2006 at 11:20 pm

    is there a way to export out of AE each individual layer as its own movie? or to maybe create precomps and export the precomps? i have an edit system that will play animation files with alpha in real-time, so being able to export each layer (for smaller compositions) would help tremendously.

    No way to do what u want in one swoop but here is what you could do. Select the layers u want to precomp. Go to layer> precompose. In the dialogue box,one precomps everything, one does the layers only.
    you could also duplicate the comp in the project window several times (apple+D/cntrl+D). Open up those duped comps (I suggest renaming 1st), and either turn off the visability or delete the layer you don’t want shown. Then que them up to render.

    If you’re using AE 7, one solution is to use my rd: Render Layers script for rendering selected layers separately. You can find it here:
