  • Can I add Text presets to Photoshop layers?

    Posted by Art White on December 19, 2009 at 4:49 pm

    After Effects CS4, Photoshop CS4 – Master collection, Windows 7 64bit

    Can I add Text presets to Photoshop layers? I just started using After Effects and I like it! I added a preset to text I created in AE but when I brought in Photoshop layer text and drag the preset to the line it does nothing. I brought PS in as an editible layer. What am I supposed to do or is it not possible?

    Thanks!

    First, you need to convert text from Photoshop to editable text.
