Batch automation from multiple images to multiple outputs
Goal: to automate the generation of multiple composites of a referenced file, that has itself multiple options within in it.
Effectively I have pre-rendered views of a TV from different angles, in different environments. These are organised as layer groups. In each layer group there is a Referenced File link that provides the 'content' of the TV. These are all pointing to the same file.
Current setup:
Master file: multiple different views set as layer groups, with the referenced file pre-distorted and manipulated fore each view
Reference file: lots of different options, organised as 1 screen content per layer.
Goal:
To be able to batch process all the different views in the Master file with all the content options in the reference file. Including sensible filenaming or organisation on output.
So Far:
I have an Action that cycles through all the view options in the Master File and exports the options.
In the Reference File I have used the "convert frames / make frames from clip" to turn each layer into a frame within the timeline.
In the Master File I can now use step through the timeline and the screen content changes on each frame.
BUT, I haven't found a way to automate the Action to make it recursive/repeating for each frame in the timeline.
I don't know if I'm heading in the right direction on this, and would be very appreciative of thoughts or tips! I consider myself a poweruser of Photoshop but this has stumped me and is really bugging me.
