scale and position issue copy pasted paths from AI or PS
Hi,
When copying paths from Illustrator or Photoshop and pasting them onto an AE layer with the same dimensions, the paths have shrunk and have lost their original position.
How can i copy-paste paths into After Effects (6.5) without losing their original dimensions and position?
I’ve seen Aharon Rabinowitz’ tutorial on copying paths to AE and I followed his guidelines exactly, so there must be a setting or preference which I have to tweak.
Thanks for your help!

No, I don’t think that’s the full truth. It explains the shrinkage, but not the positional changes. The point here is, that as long as you only copy&paste a single path, AE will re-center it on the layer you paste to. Only multiple masks/ paths retain their relative positions.

the fact is, I didn’t import a file; I only copy pasted the paths from a Photoshop document with the same dimensions as the AE comp and layers.
I vaguely remember that there is a maximum number of masks per layer that AE can handle (how many?). Perhaps that’s where the problem comes from because i’m importing a few hundred paths (i’m only wildly guessing here).

Both the AE composition and the .psd are set to square-pixels…
