PS Smart Layers into AE with scale/rotation values?

Got a project where it's easier to build in Photoshop because of the size of the comp. Elements in PS that I will replace in AE are turned into Smart Objects so I have full size versions which are easily rotated/scaled/moved into place.
My question is, when importing PS files into AE using Keep Layer Size, does anyone know of a way/plugin/script that will take my Smart Object layer and rather than rather than rasterise it, apply scale and rotation the Smart Object layers? I can then easily swop out the layer with an AE comp and not spend loads of time resizing/rotating etc.
If not I think it would be an extremely useful feature request and iron out quite a large bottleneck between the two apps. Perhaps and option to convert Smart Objects to comps in AE and use those in the timeline with transformations would speed workflow even more.

Not that i know. Those values are not even accessible with scripting in PS, so it's a more complex issue.

  • Putting layers into photoshop

    How do I put layers into photosop with out them merging? So I can edit them in photoshop. Even when I export it still merges some to most of the layers. Thanks

    You cannot export layers as such from Illustrator to Photoshop.
    However you can copy objects from Illustrator and paste them into Photoshop.
    You can do this repeatedly, building Photoshop layers as you go.
    The most important trick is to get the pasted objects to register together.
    You do this by making little register rectangles, that correspond to the corners of your Photoshop canvas, at top left and bottom right.
    Copy and paste these along with the other objects and delete them when you have finished.

  • Performance issues with Motion (position, scale, rotate) and GTX 590

    I'm experiencing performance issues with my Premiere Pro CC when I scale, position or rotate a clip in the program monitor.
    I have no performance issues with playback! It's only, when i move something with the mouse or by changing the x,y-values of Position in the Motion-Dialog in video effects.
    Premiere then lags terribly and updates the program monitor only about once per second - this makes it very difficult and cumbersome to work and position things.
    On a second Premiere installation on my laptop, performance is fine and fluid - allthough it doesn't have GPU support and is a much slower computer.
    I'm pretty sure this has somehow to do with my graphic card, which is a Nvidia GTX 590.
    I was told by the support, that it is actually a dual graphic card, which is not supported/liked by Premiere.
    The thing is, until the latest Premiere update, I did not have performance issues at all with this card.
    I also read on the forum that others with the GTX 590 did not experience any problems with it
    So where does this come from?
    There is no change in performance whether or not I activate Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration.
    I also tried deactivating one of the 2 gpus, but there also was no change.
    Does anyone else know this problem and has anyone a solution?
    I'm running Premiere CC on a Win 7 64bit engine, Nvidia GTX 590, latest driver (of today),

    I am suffering from the same phenomenon since I updated just before christmas, I think.
    I am hardly able to do scaling, rotating and translating in the program monitor itslef - whil motion has been highlighted in teh effect controls.
    In the effect controls I can scale, rotate etc however.
    Also I have noticed there is a yellow box with handles in teh program monitor. I remember it was white before.
    I cannot figure out what to change in my preferences. What has happened?

  • Convert multiple layers into separate smart objects

    I have multiple layers in a document that I want to make into separate smart objects.
    If I select them and choose "convert to smart object" in the Layers Panel fly out, it flattens the layers into 1 smart object.
    Can it be done, or do I need to make each layer a smart object one at a time.
    OR... let me back up
    I have several files in Bridge, I want to "load into Photoshop layers" using the TOOLS > Batch Command BUT have each file load as a smart object.
    Either way would be great!

    While these don't use the batch command, take a look at
    from within photoshop, File>Scripts>Load Files into Stack.
    For bridge try Dr. Browns Services:
    http://www.russellbrown.com/scripts.html
    If you have cs5, you can drag files from mini bridge into an existing
    photoshop document, for smart object layers, provided you have
    your preferences under general to place or drag raster images as smart objects.

  • Multiple Smart Objects into existing photoshop file

    I need to somehow get bridge to---

    I don't think it is possible, but to be sure drop this question also in the

    I agree, placing multiple files into your PSD as smart objects all at once like InDesign would be a great (and logical) feature for Photoshop to have. The only "workaround" I have is to create a shortcut using Ctrt+Alt+Shift+D (which is not used by anything), so you can place pictures/graphics more quickly, rather than using the menu each time.

  • (NOT SOLVED) Duplicate layers into another document

    Hello, honorabe participants of Photoshop Scripting forum!
    I have a problem - how to implement in action/script duplication of two linked layers from one document to another already opened document? Linked layers is a specially formatted text, so I can't just copy-paste them into opened document. Already opened document is a CR2-file.
    When I record action, PS also record name of the reciever-document. But this name changes when I open another file so all acation breaks.
    PS can record 'Select next document' and 'Select previous document', but cant' record 'Duplicate layers into previous document'.
    Please, help me to solve my problem.

  • Problem in converting smart form into PDF

    HI Experts,
                      I am using a Function Module CONVERT_OTF for converting smart form into pdf file for send it to with attachment.
    But i got a error when i am using that FM.
    Runtime Errors         CONVT_NO_NUMBER
    unable to interpret *292 as a no.
    Is that because my file size too large about 13 pages of PDF?
    and when i run it for other smart forms which have 2 or 3 pages of PDF, its working perfectly.
    can anyone tell what is problem with that FM?
    Thanks
    Shakun

    Hi,
    I had the similar issue and after analysis I have that this is the issue by not passing the IMPORTING parameter of the Function Module "BIN_FILESIZE". Please try to pass some variable to this paramter and then this will be completely rectified.
    DATA ; v_filesize     TYPE i.
    *--Convert OTF data to PDF data
      CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
        EXPORTING
          format                = 'PDF'

    hi,
    smart form to pdf--
    All you have to do is call your SF to get OTF and then concert it to PDF. Works like charm:
    DATA: p_output_options TYPE ssfcompop,
    p_control_parameters TYPE ssfctrlop.
    p_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
    p_control_parameters-getotf = 'X'.

    control_parameters = p_control_parameters
    IMPORTING
    job_output_info = s_job_output_info.
    call function 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'

  • How can i add or create Layers into existing PDF File

    How can i create or add new Layers into new or existing PDF file using DLE JAVA API (Datalogics API)

    sandyrock,
    The PDFL, as Adobe distributes it, only has a C/C++ interface.
    The JNI APIs are developed and supported by Datalogics, the company you licensed your copy of the PDFL from. Have you contacted them? Support for their API extensions to the PDFL should be included with your licensing fee and they have many tips and ready-made examples specific to their API extensions they could give you.

  • What is the point of column with scale 0 ?

    DB Version: 11.2
    This is what my understanding about Precision and Scale in Number datatype is
    NUMBER ( p, s )
    Example: in NUMBER(5,3)
    5 ==> stands for the total number of digits including the numbers after the decimal point
    3 ==>. stands for the digits to right of the decimal point.But , for number type defined with scale 0 how am I able to INSERT numbers with decimals as shown below ? I even managed INSERT numbers whose total length is crossing the precision 5 below ( 93939.223 )
    SQL> drop table t1;
    Table dropped.
    SQL> create table t1 (empid number (5,0));
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into t1 values (883.2);
    1 row created.
    SQL> insert into t1 values (883.22);
    1 row created.
    SQL> insert into t1 values (883.332);

  • Moving layers into Group

    I am a web designer and have created a script that puts a browser UI around a Photoshop document. The action places several images and creates several text layers. What I want to do is place all the images then add them into a group called "BROWSER". I can do this and it works fine in CS3, but it fails to select all the layers in CS4 and CS5.
    I have tried several methods which all work in CS3, but not 4 and 5. I have selected the top layer, held shift and selected the bottom layer "Add Continuous", I have selected them individually with the "Add" modification (holding down the command). After I create the selection, I try and "Make Group from layers", however, in CS4 and 5 it only places the last layer in the folder.
    I have also tried creating the Group folder, naming it and moving the individual layers into the folder. The problem here is that when moving, PS uses the layer number instead of the layer name! For instance, I have a layer call "Page Title", when using the move command it uses it's raw layer number "layer 16" or whatever.
    So sorry for the wall of text. Can anyone offer any insight? I am downloading the trial of CS5 to see if that makes a difference.

    Are all the layers visible?? I just tried recording an action in CS5 and had no problem.  I create a new document white background layer and added 6 layers. I targeted the middle layer and then recorded this action
    Alt+,   (Target bottom visible layer in this case the background)
    Alt+]   (Target next visible layer up in the stack in this Layer 1)
    Shift+Alt+. (Select continuously up the stack to the upper most  visible layer 6 layers with there visibility off between will also be selected)
    menu Layers>New>Group From Layers (Create new group named it test  and the layers were collapsed into the new group named test)
    stopped recording
    I then went back into the history palette to before the group was created where I had the 7 layers.  I played the action and it worked. Went back in time again and added layers till I had 100 layers on top of the background layers. I turned the visibility of some layers off. As long as the background layer and the layer above it as well as the Top layer visibility was on the action worked.  All bets are off it the visibility of any or those three layers are off.  The Action will fail.

  • Transferring Files from Triton Le (via Smart card) into Logic pro 9

    I'm trying to get original material from my triton Le smart card into Logic pro 9. I've looked at a couple forums and tried different ways. I know i can do it track by track/ real time audio, but would prefer having it as midi, as i've found cutting and splicing the realtime has produced some glitches in the music. The other way was to use a usb floppy disk drive save my material as midi on the floppy then open it in logic. This i've tried but must be missing something because i drag the file from my 17n1 card reader (which reads my smart card) into the floppy and it just takes the file as it is.
    This will get figured out soon, some help would be great!!!
