How to export a layered PSD frame and keep the masks and track mattes?

When I export the PSD, it is wildly different to the comp. I've narrowed it down to inverted track mattes not working in the PSD. Anyone got a workaround for this?

Hey dingdongdingers, sorry your PSD isn't exporting correctly! 

Would it be possible for you to share screenshots of what the comp looks like in After Effects, then show us what it looks like after you export it as a PSD?

 

It would be helpful to see what it's supposed to look like, compared to how it is currently exporting. My first thought is to try pre-comping your layers with inverted track mattes before you export the .PSD. I'm wondering if that would protect your work.

 

Let us know!
