exporting multilayered photoshop sequences
OK,
Is there anyway to export a Quicktime movie from After Effects as a photoshop image sequence, but where each image is a multilayered psd?Trying to preserve a keyed out area in the image so when i open the docs in photoshop those areas are already transparent. Having problems doing this unless I do the whole “save frame as” photoshop layers. Problem is i need to do this for every frame. And that would take forever. And when you render out an image sequence, it seems like it just flattens the layers.
WAAAAA!!!!
Help.

How about using the FLM format. You can save out your comp as a filmstrip (with Alpha) and open that up directly in Photoshop.

This would also flatten the comp however 🙁

I wonder if I’m doing something incorrectly in photoshop. All I want to do is have photoshop recognize the area I keyed (in After Effects) around the subject as transparent.
I feel like this should be really easy. Maybe the multilayered psds from an image sequence isn’t the way to go.
Just want photoshop to recognize the transparency.

Thanks for the reply though. -
When you save a frame as Photoshop layers, keyed areas SHOULD be recognised as transparent in Photoshop (the keyed areas become part of that layer’s alpha channel). If you email me the file I can take a look if you like (john@motionworks.com.au)

It’s a PNG sequence. This supports the transparency from the key. Found out from Seth in the Photoshop forum.
Man. I wonder why the Photoshop sequence wouldn’t work.Anyway.
Thanks again.Drew
