importing several images at one time

Post by mats grorud »

I am animating using a lot of pngs from photoshop. Is there a way of importing several images in one go into anime studio pro 7? It is extremely timeconsuming having to manually import every single png that I get using the expprting layers-script from photoshop.

In the scripts menu select image/import image sequence and go to the file of the images. They will need to be numbered like this or something close to this. Click on the top one in the sequence and hit OK, it should import all the images that are numbered in order. If you do not want them in a switch file you can just drag them out.

select all images in the finder, then drag them into the layer palette.

There was a nice script that imported everything from a file. I don't think it works anymore because of the updates.

mats,

At one Japanese Anime Studio site there is a software offered for free called ASPConv 3. It works with Windows. If your Png files are layers of one Photoshop file you can open the file in ASPConv and it will create a ASP file with the PNG files in a switch, group or bone layer. here's a link.

As slowtiger said, just select all your png files in finder (or window's explorer) and drag them to the AS window. All your images will be imported.

I learned something from all this. I always used the import image and that way only allows one image at a time so I always used the script to import more than 1. I never thought of opening the folder location and just dragging the images over.
