  • How to turn .ai paths to Apple Motion 5 shape???

    Posted by Andres Guillermo on November 5, 2015 at 10:07 am

    Dear swarm,

    I am looking for a workflow, which turns Illustrator paths into a motion shape.
    My search was not satisfying. The script did not work with multiple paths!
    Do you have any suggestions for me?

    I am looking forward for a helpful response!

    Best regards

    Andres

    You have to do it one path at a time.

    Hi Mark,

    thanks for your fast answer!
    Is there any other option to use .ai paths in motion 5? Or maybe there is another tool, plugin or script to do this?

    Thx

    Ohh, that’s bad! If you don’t know it – no-one else will know it!

    I just tried to draft al the paths in Motion, but my iMac hasn’t got enough power for about 300 paths with chalkboard tight brush 😉 It takes to long to render all the stuff!!! So I will take the bitter pill and use the script on every single path.
    But if you decide to write a plugin for having a tool with multiple paths – hey, let me know soon! 🙂

    Best regards from Germany!

    Take care.

    [Andres Guillermo] “The script did not work with multiple paths!”

    Which script are we talking about exactly?

    – RK

    The script exports a path into a motion shape. It is a java script posted a view years ago!
