I have an animation I created in ae, which consists of 100 frames. How can I export it where it gives me each of those 100 frames as their own png images? I tried looking it up but could only find resources on how to export one frame at a time. Any help is appreciated.

  1. Add the composition to the Render Queue using the Composition Menu. 
  2. From the Output Module dropdown menu, select Photoshop, Tiff Sequence with Alpha, or Make Template
  3. If you have selected Photoshop or Tiff Sequence with Alpha, open the Output module settings and select PNG Sequence for the format
  4. If you have selected Make Template, name the preset PNG Sequence, then click Edit and select PNG Sequence

 

All done. If you are going to use this rendering option often, I suggest using the Make Template or trying the Edit menu to create and organize your Edit/Templates/Output Module options.
