Photoshop Layer Effects in AE
Hi to all.
I made a photoshop file with 5 layers, with 3 effects for single laye.
The effects are stroke and shadow.
When I try to import this file in Ae as Composition I have only layer without effects ( stroke and shadow).
Photoshop is CS2 version, and Ae is yhe 6.5 and 7.0.
What I can do?Thank’s very much to all.

Not much… AE does not support all PS layer effects. You have to apply them in AE. however, first check if you save your PSD files with the “maximum compatibility” setting. At least the drop shadow should appear in AE.

Thank’s.
The effects that i can’t see is ( in this PH file) the stroke, and also bevel.
Yes , I can add the effects with AE, but is better the photoshop file ready to use.
Thank you anyway.Ciao.

I hear the term Photoshop “drop shadow” and one can not but be referring to “styles” which , according to a demo guy that demoed AE7.0 , is now *recognized* in AE7.0 when imported from PShop. This caught my attention because it meant some styles can also be *animated* within AE7.0 as well.
Do with this information what thou will. 😉Taliesn

The drop shadow is recognized and there is a way to import the stroke. In Photoshop, place an empty new layer above the stroked layer. Link this to the stroked layer, then select both (holding shift), then with the option/alt key click the drop down menu and select merge layers. You’ll get a merged layer but still maintain your original layer. This can all then be opened in AE as a composition with layer styes present.
Good Luck.

merge your layers, or save the layer individually as a .png and import. which is pain staking, but it works.
