Hello.
Wondering if we are able to bring in PSD files into Xpression and see the layers unflattened. The same with C4D files.
Any insight would be great.
Sincerely,
Michele Hampton
You can bring PSD files into XPression like this;
You’ll see the layers like this and you can choose what you see;
You’ll also see a preview.
Hi Red.
Oh yeah. Thank you for directing me to that choice.
Any thoughts on the C4D or how about and After Effects file?
Thank you
You can import C4D as long as you are using the 64bit version of XPresion.
XPression doesn’t yet support Ae.
I recommend making your design in Photoshop and doing all the animation in XPression.
If you are supplied an Ae file I recommend exporting the elements as images if no PSD is available, exporting a video of the motion and reconstructing in XPression. I believe it is on the roadmap for XPression but there is currently no date set for the feature that I am aware of although they don’t tell me everything haha!
Hi Red.
Ok thanks for all this information.
Where would I find out is I am at 64 bit on the Xpresssion? Sorry if that is a silly question.
Hi Red.
Thank you for this information. I just tried it and it works.
Thanks!
One of the simplest way to tell is 64bit will usually be installed in Program Files where as 32bit will usually be installed in Program Fiels (x86).
excellent 
Hi.
One other question that just came to mind.
Can we bring in a tga sequence and have it play out?
Yes but I recommend using the XPression Video Coder to covert it to an AVI. It’s much more efficient than playing out an image sequence.
Hi Red.
Thank you for your note. I did try the video coder and made an AVI from a sequence of TGA files. It worked.
Appreciate you answering all my questions.
Hi Red.
I am still trying to figure out if we have the 64bit or 32bit. Where in the Program Files or the Program Files (x86) find that information?
Thank you.
