| Jacquelin Vanderwood July 1, 2004 | 1 | | Ok. How do we import an Illustrator path into After Effects and create a mask? Below is the path created in Illustrator. Press Control+C to copy. (You want to make sure that the path is closed.) |  | 2 | | In After Effects create a solid layer. |  | 3 | | Now select Edit and Paste or Control+V. |  | 4 | | We now have our mask available for use. |  | 5 | | To make the mask inverted simply press Shift+Control and the letter ' i '. |  | 6 | | To import a layered file from Illustrator into After Effects, choose File>Import and File. Make sure All Acceptable Files is selected. |  
| 7 | | Make sure Composition is selected. Now click Open. (If you want to import only one layer or a flattened file, Import As should say Footage.) |  | 8 | | To continually rasterize an Illustrator file, click on the Collapse Transformations/Continually Rasterize icon. (Make sure that Quality is in the On position.) |
