Automating Clipping Mask Workflow

[NikkiK87]

Hey there,

I'm working on a project where we need to put watercolor clipping masks on 157 to 300+ frames for some animations and it's pretty arduous. I've done 40 frames and was wondering if there's a faster way to speed this up?

So far the process goes as follows:

open images

center watercolor png over base layer

clipping mask

save to folder

export as png to folder

next images.

Any help would be wonderful!

Honestly, even if I could just automate CMD+S to automatically save it in a folder without me being prompted would save tons of time. Same for the Quick Export.

That would be a huge time saver!

Sounds like you could record an action to do that process if you do the same exact steps to all images.  Once you record the action you can batch the action for all your images
