  Hi. I’m trying to modify a paintstroke from AE in Illustrator and when i paste it in AI it show me this:

  Adobe After Effects 6.5 Keyframe Data

  Units Per Second 25
  Source Width 720
  Source Height 576
  Source Pixel Aspect Ratio 1.06667
  Comp Pixel Aspect Ratio 1.06667

  End of Keyframe Data

  DO you know wht the problem is?
  Thanks.

  AFAIK, you can’t paste a stroke from AE to Illustrator.

  Hmm … interesting … I can do that with a mask from AE, but not a paint stroke.

  1. draw a mask in AE
  2. select the mask and copy in AE
  3. paste into AI
  4. simplify in AI
  6. copy in AI
  7. select a paint stroke in AE (select the word “shape”)
  8. paste into that stroke in AE: the stroke now looks like the simplified mask

  … but I can’t get AE to copy a paint stroke and paste into AI, or get AE to convert that paint stroke to a mask.

  Anybody?

  I’m using the same book and can’t get it to work either. Has anybody figured out how to get this to work?

  Thanks,
  John
