  • how to save the illustrator paths exported from PS as masks for a solid in AE?

    Posted by Digitalworkshop on May 4, 2005 at 7:06 am

    hi,

    I have an idea…its kind of a morph thing between two PS shapes.
    What i am trying to do is that i have two custom shapes of a woman which i converted in to PATHS.
    Now i want to save these two PATHS as source and destination MASKS for a solid.
    So that the one mask(shape of woman) morphs in to other,the destination one.
    Is it possible to save the exported paths to illustrator as MASKS for a solid in AE?
    pls pls let me know as i am in the middle of my project.
    If this is not possible then pls tell me how do i save my Mattes as masks????
    regards,

    DIGI
    🙂

    You can do this very easily. All you have to do is copy the path from Illustrator (Ctrl-C), then paste that into AE (Ctrl-V).

    If that doesn’t work straight away then check your Preferences in Illustrator. In the Fil Handling & Clipboard section, change the clipboard copy away from PDF. I can’t remember what the other option is off the top of my head I’m afraid.

    Hope that helps,
    Ben
