  • transform box size not matching the object size after import

    Posted by Mike Tyler on October 18, 2016 at 10:21 am

    So I’ve imported a file from Photoshop into AE… but for some reason, the individual layers don’t keep their proper sizes.

    For example, an object in PS looks like this (transform box only around the object), but in AE the transform box is around the whole composition.
    Which makes it very inconvenient to manipulate.

    I’ve already tried all the options when importing.

    Doing the same thing with an Illustrator file works.

    Where’s the problem ?

    Hi,
    Its because when you import the file make sure to choose “Composition-Retain Layer Sizes” and enable “Editable layer Style” option in Layer option.
