exporting a path from photoshop as keyframes
I feel like a doofus asking this, because I’ve done it before and just can’t remember how I did it.
What I am trying to do is export a path from Photoshop 7.0 into After Effects 5.5 to use it as position keyframes. Specificly what I’m after is I create a piece of text in photoshop, export the path into AE, then use the path as one end of a lightning stroke. Combined with a mask, It gives the effect of the lightning stroke ‘writing’ the text. I know I learned how to do it as a tutorial on the web, but cannot find it or remember the trick to making the path into the position keyframes for the life of me.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
