  I want a motion path not a mask

  Posted by Monica Briano on July 25, 2008 at 12:19 am

  I paste my selection from AI on to my layer position and its becoming a mask. I want a motion path. Am I doing something wrong?

  my guess is, you’re either a) not selection the position property name before you paste, or b) you are trying to copy more than one path from illustrator; ae can only paste one path to position as a motion path

  Thank you guys!
  I actually had a stroke on my path and so when I copy and pasted it on position it created a mask and not a moition path. I had to take the stroke off in AI and then it worked when I copyed and paste on position!
