export assets in place

[getho]

Is there a way to export assets so that they retain their placement on the artboard?  I want to be able to import them into premiere and have all the relative positions be correct

You mean: export each asset into its own file and have those remember their positions?

Depends on how Premiere is able to import them. Does it import the cropbox? Or just the bounding box? You might want to ask in the Premiere forum.

OK my bodgy workaround was this (in case anyone else might find this useful):

in illustrator layers pallette > build (sequence).  Remove some of the weirder things that get created.

Import into photoshop preserving layers.

In photoshop I had to remove a few compound path layers that had nothing in them, and rasterise and apply masks.

Then I could import layers into premiere

Caveat: the first few times I did it it didn't import all layers.  It seems that premiere spits the dummy when it hits an empty layer. it behaved itself once all the layers were simple, and were named layer x.
