  how do i paste illustrator paths to after effects?

  Posted by Ivan Despi on October 6, 2005 at 7:11 am

  my search told to me get a certain AIPaths.8BY plug-in and place it in my AE plug-ins folder. But I don’t know where to get that plug-in. Anybody here who can help?

  You don’t need a plug-in. Just make sure that in Illustrator your File “Handling & Clipboard” preferences are set to “Preserve Paths”, then just copy the path and paste onto your layer in AE.

  Ivan,

  I had a problem with this matter this very week(my post is about 30 down the way), like John says go into Edit>Preferences>File Handling and clipboard then make sure that AICB is on and also preserve paths, it doesn’t matter if pdf is on as well, cos you see, AE is damn clever and will work it out.I had a weird thing happen, whilst running both Ill and AE I tried to copy the paths and paste into AE but to no effect.I exited AE and restarted it and bish bash bosh copy paste bang masks in AE. Since then i haven’t had to do the restarting thing and it works every time.Freaky PC or what?Sorry if just repeating the above, but consider this more of an affirmation
