    Hey all,

    Doing some animation work with a lot of vector elements that I am arranging in photoshop as smart objects. I like to comp my AE stuff in Photoshop, even though I do the detail vector work in Illustrator. Now, when working in AE…the PS composition still sees the smart object as a PS layer. If I want to make changes to that smart object, must I reopen the illustrator file, edit, save it, reopen PS file, update smart object, save PSD, update layer source in AE?

    It seems like a heck of a lot of steps just to update a vector layer. Is there a way to quickly edit/access vector objects that have been arranged in Photoshop without having to jump through all these hoops?

    -Eric
