Using AE to Export files for print
Hello Everybody!
I need to create a 62″X38.5″ 200 dpi print from files that were created in
AE 6.5. I’m guessing the source files need to be precomped into a 12400X7700
comp? I’m also not sure of what output setting to use.Thanks in Advance

I would use tiff with no compresion. Or targa.
Set your workarea to 1 frame and “file -> export image sequence” Youl get 2 frames out of it. Just delete the last.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I will do this. -
Use ‘save frame as’……alot quicker than fussing about with work area and sequence rendering…..

About the dpi – then you are right.
62″ x 38.5″ | 200 dpi –> 12400 x 7700

Save frame doesn’t give you the option to save as targa or tiff. Only as PSD. Which is good when wanting PSD file obiously. But when taking to print, maybe Targa or tiff is better.
But ofcourse you can save the frame as… And spare the fideling with the work area.

Save Frame As allows you to save as just about anything you want, since it sets up the render queue. Just click on the blue “Photoshop 32-bit” Output Module text to change the setting.

yup. Save frame as allows full saving functionality, only without having to deal with workspace issues. It is great for snapping off differant points in time of the timeline as it saves the pic wherever your timeline marker is positioned……….

strange when I “save frame as…” it seems like I only get the option for PSD.

Sure you are not using ‘save frame as’ -> photoshop layers??
The “‘save frame as’ ->File, brings up the nomral render output window where you can select any output/render settings you wish……..
-
It didn’t for me. I didn’t choose “save frame as -> ps layers”
I chose “save frame as” and got straight to the save file dialog-box with the filetype preset to PSD.
No means of changing that there. I must confess that I havent investigated it futher or to the end.
