    Importing Photoshop layer groups with layer masks

    Posted by Jon Herron on June 23, 2011 at 3:19 pm

    Hi all,

    Is it possible to import a Photoshop file containing layer groups with layer masks. It seems After Effects disregards the Layer Mask when making the Layer Group in to a comp.

    Thanks in advance,
    jon

    Thanks for the reply Dave,

    Yeah, I actually read up on the photoshop import section before posting. The only tid bit about layer groups is:

    Photoshop layer groups are imported as individual compositions.

    Doesn’t really say if it will import its layer mask…..hmmm.

    —I made some luma mattes of the actual layer mask as a work around, but still wonder if this is possible
