Scott ClementsRe: Copy and Paste Not Converting Mask Path to Shape Layer

Hi, Keith. Thanks for your help. I guess I didn't try clicking on the actually path in the path window in Photoshop and copy and pasting into AE. Not sure if that would give me a proper shape in After Effects though. I'll try it. What I ended up doing was opening the photoshop file in Illustrator and then exporting from there and opening it in After Effects and then using the "create shapes from vector layer" command. It wasn't ideal though, because Illustrator did a weird resize of the layer and I had to mess with it to get it to match. I wish AE would be able to handle Photoshop vector layers in the say way. Why Photoshop still, after all these years, doesn't have better vector capabilities is a mystery to me.
