Ya know, I tried that before coming here, and it didn’t do a dang thing to my imported AI art (which had a texture applied via track mask, and then a multiply blend to let the AI art show through–if that doesn’t make sense, here’s the tutorial I found that showed me how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti2XC3xqtXU, My point is, maybe all that biz was why the adjustment layer didn’t work for me). Thanks!

Apparently that’s a known bug with a workaround: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1512352

Thank you! I was very excited, right up until I clicked “paste” and AE crashed. 🙁 I save often, though, so, I think I’ll shut down some other programs, maybe restart, and then try again. Right after lunch.

Yeah, I’ve settled for creating a still image of where he is in the mowing composition, then duplicating the walk cycle composition, deleting all the key frames except the ones where he’s in the same pose as he is in the mowing scene, then importing the still image to use as a background and then position the character so he exactly matches the location of the background of the mowing scene, and then beginning the animation process. All I wanted was an easy way to exactly capture pose and position into a new comp, but I couldn’t figure out a way to do so.

Illustrator file, in layers, imported as a composition. So, vector art.

Never mind–I needed to expand my mask transforms so the relevant keyframes were visible. Unfortunately, now that I’ve moved it, the time remapped/looped mower walk cycle is doing funny things, but that’s another story!

I’m a couple years late here with a less than ideal solution, but VLC player can convert the file to several different formats. Does a pretty good job of it, too.
