Exporting PSD files to AS to keep layers?

I tried the script, can't remember where I found it in the forums, but it shows as an Adobe AE file, not PS.

Also, I'm using Photoshop 7: is this a problem? I don't see a script option under FILE.

Thanks

the files is there (or similar):
C:\Program files\e frontier\Anime Studio Pro\Extra Files\Export Layers To Anime Studio.jsx

you must copy and paste here:
C:\Program files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Presets\Scripts\

http://www.lostmarble.com/downloads/Exp ... 20Moho.jsx

Put the file in Photoshop's .../Presets/Scripts folder, and you'll see a new "Export to Moho (Anime Studio)" command in the file menu. Run the script and you'll get a new Moho file ready to use.

Here's a tip: if you create a layer group in Photoshop that has several layers in it, but only one layer is visible, that group will be exported to Moho as a switch layer.

Enjoy!

Thanks Selgin, great post!

That switch layer trick will come in handy.

Ahhhhh! Wish I knew this or at least found it in the help docs - there's no mention of having to copy the plugin (I should have guessed). The site only mentions the plugin being included but no where does it say where it is or what to do with it.

Thanks.

For future readers searching the forum archives:

In the manual, it's hidden in the Reference section that nobody ever reads - after the first few tutorials, everyone seems too keen to actually start animating, like a kid opening a new toy. I know the feeling. :)
