Yes, Cassius, we use the actual AE project as a source of animation (it is 2 dimentional games, “moving pictures”). And we do exactly as you have said. Batch exporting from photoshop via “Export layers to files” and then import it to AE. Actually here our problems started. I have two options:
1)put PSD file as a background layer, then drop my PNGs to the same comp, and start my tedious work placing it to the proper positions
2)import PSD file as composition with the layers trimmed, and then start my tedious work replacing the layers with the PNGs one by one.
As for me, the second way more preferable, it strictly keeps the layers position and just faster to proceed. -
I’m working with the game engine, that needs to have mono-layered files. It’s using the AE project as a source of animation. But the whole image (that artists painting before animation) is PSD. So i should import PSD to AE, and replace layers with the PNGs (without position change). Of course you guys right – it isn’t taking too much time to replace it manually. But I doing such job time and times again, and so doing my partner. So it’s boring me very much.

Yes, i don’t have thousands of layers, and each of such conversions doesn’t take too much time. But i obliged to repeat this process time and times again, and it’s just boring so much (and of cause summary time multiplying too). And my partner does this stuff too, so it make sence to automate the process.
We need to swap formats because our game engine working only with mono-layered images. Our artists paint the whole picture in PSD, and then i should separate these layers to animate it. -
Just what the doctor ordered!! Many thanks, pal!! TBH i hoped it will be little easier expression 🙂

Thank you very very much. Now it`s exactly what i wanted to get.

sorry Lukas, but it doesn`t work. It returns the error message “Class `array` has no property or method named `position`”. Could you please suggest any other solutions?

Hi, Lukas,
it`s a great stuff, thank you. But is it possible to convert these all to screen coordinates? just to make the look at rotation independent from parent object`s rotation.
