How do it extract XMP metadata from specific Photoshop Layer in After Effects?
I am just getting my hands dirty with metadata.
I know it is possible to attack metadata to a layer/layerset in Photoshop, but how to I get it out in After Effects.
Here is the process.
I create BunchaLayers.psd.
Using the PerLayerMetaData.jsx file attached.
I use the setCommMetadata("something") function to attacked metadata to a selected layer.
I know that is is there because I check it using the exportLayerMetadata().
I save and imprt BunchaLayers.psd into AE as a comp.
Here I am lost.
I select my layer in the project window and check the XMP metadata window.
I can't find my comment.
Is the XMP data actually attached to the layer I imported in AE?
I want to be able to select the layer and see that the data is attached. Is this possible?
If it is will it work on layersets (comps in AE)?
I would appreciate any layer specific XMP insight.
Thanks for looking.
