Can I apply “convert shapes from vector layer” on an image sequence?
Hi all,
Trying to figure out how I can apply the “convert shapes from vector layer” option on an image sequence of Illustrator files I imported into AE CS6? This seems to work fine on individual .AI files, but doesn’t want to recognize my sequence as such, despite the fact that said sequence is made up of .AI files.
A related question: even when I’m able to convert the .AI vector layer into shapes, AE just produces a black rectangle. Is this because my .AI files paths are not closed?
Thanks!

You can convert multiple AE files to Shape Layers in AE CC (V12) BUT you can’t convert a sequence. Import the AE files as individual files and then convert to Shapes.

No. Open Paths are converted but AE adds a Fill to open paths. Disable Fills for such paths after the conversion – open paths should be stroked, not filled.
