Silly question about pasting path info
I have been doing this forever–and now I can’t work my way out of a paper bag.
When I try to paste path information into the write-on position property–it doesn’t paste the info–instead it just creates another mask.
I think I am following all the basic rules
-Get a valid path into the clipboard
-Select the Write-on “Brush Position”
-PasteCan anyone help with my brain freeze?

Try making one keyframe for the Brush Position before pasting. It doesn’t matter what.

I knew that trick–and tried it already.
It’s flat out goofy.

Weird.
If I ’roundtrip the path into Illustrator and back–then it works fine. It’s a clipboard issue of some kind.

I may not have followed this thread correctly, but you need to create a keyframe in the ‘Mask Shape’ property of the mask, select that keyframe, copy it and paste that into the brush position of Write-On… or use Stroke =)
