  • After Effects Error: could not parse mask shape on clipboard

    Posted by Julie Dehaan on May 14, 2016 at 7:24 pm

    I’m using a jpg in after effects, and it keeps saying “After Effects Error: could not parse mask shape on clipboard”. I’ve tried opening the jpg in photoshop and saving it, exporting it as a pdf and reimporting it in AE, and clearing my clipboard. Nothing works. Help?

    Im using CC15 on an iMac El Capitan 10.11.4

    The latest version is 13.7.2 on Mac 13.7.1 for PC. 🙂

    Also, try copying something else to your clipboard. For example, copy this sentence and see if it then behaves.

    (The \’Great\’ stands for \’Not So Great, in fact, Extremely Humble\’)
