Export Layers to PNGs

Hello,

 

Does anyone know a way I can export my layers in Adobe Animate as seperate PNG. For example in Photoshop I can use Layers to Files. A batch export. I need a way to do this.

    It's a little bit of a round about approach, but you could publish SWFs, import those into an After Effects project, and then use File > Save Frame As... > Photoshop Layers to get to your Animate artwork over to Photoshop.

    Scroll down to Importing SWF files into After Effects.

    1. you can set your publish settings (file>publish settings) to not include hidden layers.

    2. hide all layers.

    3. unhide the layer you want to export

    4. export

     

    repeat 3 and 4 as needed.  

     

    and for automation, you can use a jsfl file to do this.

    Hello,

     

    I can't seem to get the publish settings to export the layers as full size images of the canvas size. Unless I am doing something wrong. I assume I would need "image assets" but nothing publishes other than an empty folder. I don't want a sprite sheet. I just want the layer as is with the dimension of the canvas.

    Where can I find a JSFL to do this?

    I think @sergiopop75 had a JSFL command for this. Can you help Sergio?
