Need help to convert image to shape in After Effects
https://i.ibb.co/7N9twNc/aet1.jpg
Ok guys here is my problem…
I created this png logo image with different sections using photoshop. As you can see, each section has different mask colours, but I’d like to convert the png image to shapes so that I can create stroke outlines out of each shape.
I want to be able to stretch each “stroked outline section” like the video from this guy below:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m744M8QffU&t=399s&ab_channel=Broken
There are two tutorials in his video and I am trying to learn the second one that starts from 6:24 on his video. In his video he was able to right click and create shape from text. But in my case im not using a text but an image. So I’d like to know how I can create shape from each mask sections of the png image so that I can follow the rest of the tutorial. I only need a step by step explanation to know how to covert the image to shape. So what do I do pls. Thanks
I’m kinda new to AE so forgive my ignorance

You can’t convert a raster image into vector. For this situation I would create the logo in illustrator and then import that into AE. Then you can convert it into a shape.
It’s also a pretty simple shape you could draw it in AE using the pen tool.

You can create a new shape layer and copy and paste the mask paths into new paths, its as simple as that. You could also use this script, which is part of rd_scripts, a free collection of very useful scripts:

Hi Robert
Your response was very helpful so far but how do I create new paths within the same shape layer so that I can paste the remaining masks to them. My apologies still new to AE.
I have been able to copy mask 1 into path 1 in shape 1
so how do I create a shape 2 with a new path but within the same shape layer to copy the second mask?

Hi Chris
very helpful so far
I followed your suggestion and re-created the logo in AI and imported it back to AE
I have been following the tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m744M8QffU&t=399s&ab_channel=Broken
but now I am stuck at 7:27 on the video tutorial
when I slide the slider on the timeline, it doesnt affect the animation
Here is my video example below:

Where am I wrong?
