Export Layer to Files produces blank files (working on video timeline project)

Can someone recommend how I can export my video-timeline layers to individual images?

 

I see that when I export them, I believe Photoshop tries to preserve that layer's timeline-position, and since the playhead (presumably) is at zero for each, the exported layer's visuals will not show up (unless I export the layers as PSD, open them, enable Timeline, and then scrub to where that layer was previously situated on the mother-PSD file's timeline, if that makes sense).

 

Even when I export the video timeline layers as JPEGs or PNGs, they are still blank. Any suggestions on how I can export all of my timeline layers as discreet images so I can then work with them more in Premiere/AfterEffects? I'd prefer not to render a video or full image sequence from the Photoshop video-timeline.

 

Thanks.

I don't believe that the old Export > Layers to Files script was intended for video layers/frames.

 

Have you tried Export As?

What are you trying to do with the Layers outside of Photoshop? 

Why would you work with video in Photoshop at all if you can work in After Effects and Premiere instead?
