    Posted by Yuriy Retro on March 18, 2011 at 4:14 pm

    Can any body help me ? Scene with Trapcode Form.
    – If i save my static scene in PNG or JPG file save correctly with all effect.
    – If i chose PSD (I need layered psd) – layers with effects are empty.

    What is the problem ?

    You need to pre-render the Trapcode layer/layers if you want to export layers to PSD. Since there is no Trapcode Form for PSD you can’t replicate that effect there.

    Are you using adjustment layers? If so, they won’t translate to Photoshop. Turn off the Adjustment Layer icon in the switches panel or use Form on a solid instead.

    AE rasterizes layers when it saves to a layered PSD. It preserves blend modes where possible, but not effects.
