InDesign into After Effects?

[John Cuevas]

You will need to go into ID and manually export the layers, there isn’t any easy way around it.

Here’s a link explaining the process, if you need it.

How to move a layout from InDesign to After Effects

I was worried that this was the answer. Just double checking if there was an easier way. Thanks a lot 🙂

1. Select your work in Indesign,
2. Copy.
3. In Illustrator, Paste.
4. Twirl open the single layer which contains all your sublayers.
5. options (Layer panel options)
6. Release to layers (sequence/build)
7. Select all your sublayers and drag them on top of the 1st layer.
8. Save out your illustrator file.
9. Import into AE as Composition – retain layer sizes.

Hope that helps.

This will split everything onto its own layer in Indesign

var mySels = app.selection.length;
if (mySels == 0) {
alert(“Select the object and Run the script”);
exit(0)
}
else{
while(mySels–){
var objLayer=app.activeDocument.layers.add();
app.selection[mySels].itemLayer = objLayer;
}
}

Dear Hylda, how do I write this script in Indesign?

I have 100 hundred Indesign pages which I need to rebuild in Illustrator for subsequent import into After Effects. I really is hard to believe Adobe didn’t predict this design workflow. I am sure it could be automated in some fashion. Maybe your script is a stating point,


var mySels = app.selection.length;
if (mySels == 0) {
alert("Select the object and Run the script");
exit(0)
}
else{
while(mySels--){
var objLayer=app.activeDocument.layers.add();
app.selection[mySels].itemLayer = objLayer;
}
}
