Exporting a sequence with layers to Photoshop

Question

Hi all,I need to export alot of frames with the layers intact and layer names to import to Photoshop to run an action on them. Its not practical to do every frame manually using the export single frame as PSD command (i don't believe there is a script which can be used to automate this action). It used to be that you could export a sequence as a layered EXR with the fnord ProEXR plugin which should be able to be used in PS with the AE layers presented, however it seems the option to do this in AE was removed after cc2014? does anyone have any idea of achiving this? many thankswilkie

Composition>Save Frame as Photoshop Layers

best hope of working around this so far is to use a script to export the sequence as separate layers from AE - each frame in a separate folder, and then use this photoshop script to import the named layers into photoshop

Photoshop-Scripts/Import Folder As Layers.jsx at master · GitBruno/Photoshop-Scripts · GitHub

not a very elegant solution but might be the only way/.

There used to be a script that does exactly that. Perhaps it's still floating around somewhere.Mylenium
