.eps vectors

[Bartek Skorupa]

That means that you did’t try everything.
It is a vector, but you have to tell AE to treat it as a vector by activating “continuosly resterise” button for this layer. This is a little “sun” checkbox

i don’t know why you can’t ‘import’ eps or illustrator vectors straight into ae (or into photoshop as shape or path layers, for that matter), but you can’t simply import them…

you can copy and paste them… select the vectors that you want to bring into ae, copy, then go to ae, create a new layer and paste. you should get those vectors as masks on that layer…

Fantastic!

Thanks Dave LaRonde and Bartek Skorupa.

I didn’t find that one when I was ploughing through the Adobe files, just stuff about how to export from Illustrator so that’s what I thought I was doing wrong!

Thanks very much.

i was describing how to get the vectors into ae as masks that could be used by effects that used masks. if you just wanted to get things to look smooth, the continuous rasterization is the better option…

if you wanted to use effects like stroke or 3d stroke or use an eps vector as a motion path, then copy and paste is the easy way…

Dear Bartek Skorupa,

OK, I tried everything except that!

Thanks to everyone for getting back to me so fast.
