Hi Filip,

I was actually hoping to convert the SWF layers into shape layers for exactly the reasons you listed, but SWF files can’t be converted into shape layers. Unless there is some third party plugin out there somewhere. And because our pipeline is set in stone, we will have to use the SWF files, so you can understand why this is quite the problem.

I really appreciate the demo you’ve done, it looks just like the reference. In hindsight I should’ve probably used an example where the character is actually moving, because then it may become apparent how your method would be quite time-consuming to manually move anchor points according to the movement of the character. This is why I’m looking for a way to use effects on the original outline layer.

I’ll probably try next to explore to create the outline look inside Animate insetad of After Effects.
