  • Importing AE masks into Combustion (and vice versa)

    Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to import AE masks into Combustion. Or to convert a AE mask animation preset into a gmask file? Or vice versa.
    Thanks

    I doubt it since they are completely different both in code and implementation (there is simply no equivalent to G-masks in AE). If copy& paste from one prog to the other doesn’t work, I guess you are out of luck. The only thing I can think of is to copy masks from AE into Illustrator and then import that Illustrator file into combustion*. It’s a complete one way road, though.

    Hi Mylenium, thanks for the info. If I am not mistaken there is an equivalent in after effects more or less to combustions gmask file format. You can save a mask as an effects preset, keyframes and all in AE. It is saved as an ffx file. So basically I was looking for and ffx to gmask converter. Oh well
    Thanks
