This tool complements my
layersToStrip.jsx. StripToLayers.jsx takes an existing strip and copy shifts each frame into a single series of layers. The default number of frames is estimated by dividing width/height. This works perfectly for frames with uniform aspect ratio. But will need to be adjusted manually if frame aspect are non-uniform.
