  • Multi Still From Timeline

    Posted by Thomas Mcmurry on August 8, 2010 at 9:42 pm

    I have PSD (CS4) with over 200 layers I need to export each as jpeg to bring into iMovie (don’t ask) to make a slideshow with funky transitions.

    I can’t find a way to export multi layers from photoshop and I thought I’d import into AE, make them all one second in duration in one timeline, and now I can’t figure out how to export multi points in the timeline. I thought I did this ears ago in AE. IS this possible in AE?

    Any other easy way to do this without exporting EACH layer individually from PS?

    AE/PS CS4 / Mac

    Thanks!

    I use this script to do what your talking about
    https://aescripts.com/rd-render-layers/

    Set it to “layer in and out points” and it will render every selected layer in a composition to it’s own file. You will need to set up a render template first so that the script can access your jpeg render settings.

    Always more than one way to skin a cat:
    Select all of your layers and trim them to be one frame long. (Move the CTI one frame forward and press atl+] to trim)
    Sequence your layers using the handy Sequence layers keyframe assistant
    Then render your composition as a JPEG sequence.

    Well I´m not a big fan of skining cats but here goes another way.

    This time inside photoshop.

    Open your documents and go to:

    FILE>Scripts>Export Layers as Files

    And there you go.

    Cheers.
