  • Import Then Move X Amount of Pixels – AUTOMATED or ACTION – For a Software GUI

    Posted by Ryan Strong on December 16, 2012 at 6:01 am

    Hello guys,

    I am needing to deliver to a software company one VERY long PNG that contains different animated states or steps of a volume knob for a user interface.

    I have 127 animated steps/states in 127 PNG files. SO what I need to do is to discover an action or automated way that I can import each file in, then move it +X amount of pixels.

    Specifically it’s a 40px by 40px volume knob and there needs to be a 1px space in between each state. SO… basically… that means my end result document would be a 5,207px width document (40 times 127 plus 127).

    Does this make sense?

    Thank you for any help. My goal is to find the most efficient way of doing this. I was able to create the many different file states from After Effects.

    OR is there a way to export out of After Effects a single file with the animated states one pixel length from each other?

    Here is an example of what a end result file would look like…
