  • Bring PSD into after effects – shadow issue

    Posted by Danielle Redman on October 20, 2010 at 11:03 pm

    I have made a PSD in photoshop, and on one of the images there is a bevel and emboss outer shadow. I have rasterized this layer so the style is incorporated into the layer.

    When i import this PSD into after effects the size of the bevel and emboss outer shadow is doubled which makes it thicker. How do i stop this from happening? as i am creating a animation in after effects for a DVD menu using this PSD then once the animation has finished it will go to a still of the PSD. It looks funny as the animation in after effects shadow is thicker than the psd and it is noticebly different.

    to be ultra-safe, i would convert all layer styles to layers, then merge those layers in photoshop.

    i did try both when bringing them into AE. Kevin, in photoshop i created a new layer above the layer style and flatten it to that layer and it worked 🙂
