  • JPG with workpath into After Effects

    Posted by Marten Kopp on May 9, 2012 at 6:13 am

    Hi Guys,

    I got a question about JPG’s containing workpaths and After Effects. I got a bunch of pictures that have a workpath. Is it possible to import them directly into photoshop or do I need to knock-out the background in Photoshop first?

    Thanks for any help.

    I normally take out the background in Photoshop and save it in PNG format.

    It automatically preserve the alpha and you can import it in AE.

    Thats what I usualy do. But these jpgs are optimized for print. So no PNG. And I could convert them to PNG but since there are over 500 photos that would be a hack of a lot work…
