render text frames with the name/text as file name
Posted: October 29th, 2008, 7:50 am
Hi all,
I need to render checker frames for a client.
lets say I have 1 comp with 20 text layers that do not overlap.
I'd like to render out a frame of each layer with the text as the file name instead of comp name or frame#.
I went into the "Output to" drop down but there wasn't a "Layer name" property.
I envision it like so:
first layer get name ( maybe use the first 8 letters?) , get duration use the middle frame, (or could be a variable like 10 frames in, or could be 1st middle and last frame for scale or effect samples)
Render frame
next layer (rinse and repeat as necessary)
I'm an idiot at programing so any help would be great.
thanks to all
