Convert Layer Effect to Mask Keyframes?
If I apply a Wipe effect to a static shape (or mask or text), is it possible to then convert it to a series of masks, which then work without applying the effect?
In other words, it would be like doing a Mask Interpolation that includes the effect.
Put differently, I want to convert the effect animation to keyframes.
I guess what I’m asking is whether the wipe effect is a raster or vector effect. And if it is a raster effect, is there any way to convert it to vector?
Thanks!!

IF you use solid/flat colors for at least one of the transition layer, you can follow that up, in a nested composition with Auto-trace to create your mask.
One major issue that may crop up is with the edges of the layers. I suggest that your layers and precomps be sized about 20% larger than the ‘final comp’ to preclude having to fix unwanted/enexpected edge issues after applying Auto-trace.
Lastly, the Wipe transition is a raster effect.
