How do i import Photoshop Files that contain Beveled Edges?
I have created a really cool chrome text effect in photoshop and when i import the PSD into AE, the text loses it’s beveled effect.
So, i then preceeded to just save out a copy of the beveled text as a TIFF with Alpha, and import i and it still loses it’s beveled effect.
How can i get my beveled effects into AE to look exactly like they are in PS?
Same problem occurs with outer glows too.

The way I do it is to create a new empty layer and “merge down.” Then you have a layer with no PS effects on it yet you retain the effect you had before you merged. You really don’t need an alpha as AE will read the transparency on the layer you’re imoporting. I would save it as a PSD and select THAT layer when you import it into AE.
Hope that helps.

i did that trick with a bevel applied to a shape of mine, and when i did it, it lost the bevel and was just a gray shape.
maybe it has somethign to do with using the global light? doesnt make sense to me why the bevel is leaving.

make a new layer at the top of stack in PS and make an “all visibel merge” (shifht + alt + ctrl +E). and import only taht layer into AE

You need to merge the beveled layer down into the new/blank layer.

i am doing that and when i do, the bevel goes away. i am using a pillow emboss bevel and when i merge down it goes away and looks like a 1 pixel inner bevel.

Can you right-click on your effect in the layers pallette and choose “create layers” for your bevel, and then do the merge?
