Blender-to-After Effects Pipeline
An addon was developed to facilitate integration into a traditional digital pipeline for 2D production.
Blender Exporter:
- JPG, PNG, TGA (with noiseless RLE compression)
- Keyframe + digital timesheet export
Instead of image sequence export, reducing render time and data storage use.
- Runs off a separate subprocess
Enables continued work instead of stuck waiting for Blender to finish rendering.
After Effects Importer:
- Import keyframes instead of image sequence.
Animation is imported as a plane and timing is reconstructed from a specified imported digital timesheet.
This method of import significantly improves overall render time compared to image sequences.
