Convert a path in the shape of a mask path

• Morphing of the shape in question, where is my image of key path

  This is probably a really easy question, but I had way too much frustration about that.

  I am morphing shapes I've done successfully, but for some reason, I ran into this issue. When I create a form with the tool pen and then open content > shape 1 > 1 way is the keyframe, the path option.

  The problem:

  I then use the rectangle tool on the same shape layer or a separate shape layer and create my form, and then open content > rectangle 1 > 1 rectangle path and there is not an option for a path keyframe. The keyframe only options I get are size, position and roundness. Where is my path keyframe option?

  Is there a difference I know between the building shape with the pen tool and the shape tool?

  I watched a few tutorial on converting the form of Bézier, but when I click right I do not get this option.

  I use a mac with AE CS6

  Any help is very appreciated

  Make a right click on the name of the rectangle in THE TIMELINE, not the composition window, you can create a nonparametric form by pressing the Alt/Option key and choose only a form.

• I converted the text to the shape in illustrator and I try to apply a dotted around the shape; However, it does not work.

  I converted the text to the shape in illustrator and I try to apply a dotted around the shape; However, it does not work. Maybe I'm missing a step? Any suggestions?

  

  The settings that you should should work. I agree with sisham, to keep things simple and only put 5 in the first 2 fields, or your H will resemble each other.

  

  Now, you must have something else, and I suggest you select the element and to dissociate in the appearance menu > clear appearance. Then apply the dotted line.

  If you can post your file, am sure we could find what is worrying, but my guess is you have your dashboard applied, and which is overridden by a stroke applied to the group or level of the layer and dashboard you

• my path of the shape is too large?

  I use a very long form in an animation. It's a simple idea: use a trim road to gradually display a line, all in one panoramic along it, zoom in very closely so that never see us a small part of the path.

  something like that (although I did not implement the camera yet):

  

  the path itself is extremely broad, probably in the neighborhood of 32 k long. I know it's absurd, it's what comes of the photoshop and I intend to adjust its size once I got the correct form. I thought since it was a vector, the size of the canvas was not important in the first step. This seems to be wrong.

  
  

  What is happening is very strange: beyond a certain threshold, I can't change the anchor points that make up the line. in the screenshot below, all the points to the left of the green line I can communicate with normally. to the right of the line, however, they are frozen or locked somehow. I can't move around, I cannot adjust the handles. I thought that maybe the points themselves were somehow got corrupted, so I thought I would try to remove the most troublesome and add new points. I can successfully remove points, but if I add new ones, they immediately respond the path because there are and cannot be changed. so I can remove complexity of the path, but I can not add it. Huzzah! the tide finally turned in my war against the detail!

  

  Some symptoms more:

  (1) as the type, you can see in the first screenshot, it is difficult to frame the entire object in the drawing area. It's as if the canvas has invisible borders I can't scroll in front. I can zoom out far enough to see the entire path, which means he knows what it is * something * beyond these limits, but I can't use the hand tool to explore these areas.

  (2) if I try to move the "latest" mobile point beyond the threshold, it snaps back to a very strange place shaped covering. the behavior is hard to describe, but that's what the result looks like:

  

  (3) reduce the path to a reasonable size, using the layer transform or free transform on all points at a time, does not seem to solve the problem.

  (4) if I take all my points and use the free transform simply * move * their stop left a little bit, THEN I can move these points freely.

  all this seems to me a kind of problem of precision, or maybe someone hard an arbitrary canvas size limit. Frankly, I suspect that this last, because the questions of accuracy would manifest no doubt differently (as anchors to a grid of 10 or 100 pixels, rather than shooting way somewhere else). I'm really at a loss here and risk losing the value of a day's work if I can't understand it. Anyone have any ideas?

  This is a very useful tip!  dethrone the next time

  (only because I had finished about 90% of the shape and wanted to just bang out that last 10% without coming up with a new strategy)

  in any case, I think I figured this out. I am more convinced now that it was a problem of accuracy after all. not only the form wasn't very big, but it turns out that - perhaps because the original path came from photoshop and was copied in this session - the anchor points were all located far from the origin of the shape layer itself. so for me to even move the shape in the view of the composition, he had X translate values between 10,000 and 30 000 pixels. the required number to display not only the transformation, but shifts anchor OF this transformation, I believe, is what pushed me over the edge and beyond the limits of accuracy.

  My solution was to select all the anchor points and drag them closer to the origin of the form (which is #4, since the original observation was be the left screen). This allowed me to use less extreme values of the corresponding translation. between that and reducing the size of the composition that I used for this work from scratch, I can describe the same form using an order of magnitude smaller numbers. I am now well within the limits of accuracy and can move freely once more points.

  It is not that my form was too big, exactly. Is that it was too far from the origin, so the numbers required to describe it were too important. This does not mean that the form * don't * become too big, of course, thats why the Myleniumsuggestion is a very good I will try next time.

  Cheers.

• Is there an easy way to convert graphics (imported from the common library) Composite path?

  Hi all

  This is my problem:

  I had sex with any common library grapch, and I would like to convert to a Composite path. I had been using a manual method (double click on the image and copy the compound path, and then stick it on my main layer).

• fill a path closed after the shape tool does not?

  I draw a shape with the option drawn using the shape tool.

  Ive selected and highlighted a normal visible layer with a full opacity in normal blending mode.

  Make a right-click the path and choose fills the path... I have a color already, selected

  nothing happens...?

  

  Uncheck "Preserve transparency" in the dialog box fill in path and all should be good.

  It really helps to have these screenshots.

• [AI - CS5] How to convert the shape of the block of text in rectangle?

  Hi all

  could someone suggest me how can I convert the shape of text rectanglebox box and fill in any color desired in it? Any API can do?

  Here are the steps that I followed in illustrator to convert the shape.

  1. create a textframe.

  2. Select and choose the menu item "effect-> convert to shape.

  3. create a new filling of Armor Games Snowball palette (window-> appearance).

  4. specify the desired color of the palette (window-> color).

  I want to get the same result using the API.

  Help, please.

  Thank you

  The parameters are:

  ['Integer'] = 0 form

• effect of contour of the shape layer

  Hi, I'm applying an edge effect to a layer I imported from Illustrator.

  I created vector layer with the layer (so it appears as "outlines") and can apply STROKE if I go to 'Add' in the timeline, but not if I apply via 'generate' it does not appear and also impossible to apply effects. I can change the specifications, the width of the line IE, but nothing appears on the screen.

  Kind regards

  Suzie

  Doodle works and stroke on the footsteps of mask, not on the shape layer paths. If you want just for just these types of effects mask path, so you don't have to use "Create forms of vector layer" and instead of this just leave the layer being and copy - paste the path like I showed you before. Another way to do it, if you have already converted to shape and stay in shape too, is to copy the path of the path parameter of shape for the mask path setting (you can simply create a dummy mask so you where to copy)

  

  BTW shape layers have also a few very powerful path here operations: wiggle path can create the very nice and organic Scribble to your contours. but it is not the same as the Freehand drawing.

  I have never tried this product, but you might look into elements. He claims to add several Photoshop features like being able to make a path from a selection and to convert a path to a vector shape.

  I don't see why it would be possible as there are has several series of actions that add features of Photoshop elements such as the mask of the base layer. I also found an action that converts a selection into a path so it can be drawn with a brush... looking for: Sunday, October 19, 2008 "Stroke with a brush for PS/PSE Actions!"... about halfway the to the bottom of the page. Not what you want to do a custom shape, but the evidence that selections can be converted into paths. (Actually, it's a really good action to have if you have items that you can trace different paths with brush tips instead of using Edit

  You may still have to save the form to a file separate if you intend to use it more than once. You could probably build files of master with an assortment of different forms, each on its own layer... kind of work around the problem of not being able to save a form defined in a custom shape file.

• Is it possible to predict the shape of the signal at position B by the measure in a position?

  Hi, I need to know the shape of signal and position phases B, but I have only a single antenna to a position, which is of the form 1 m B. The signal is a source far away.   I think that it is possible to predicte it.

  Like this: first transformation the signal received at A time in the field of fourier-domain, then caculation phase changes of the components of frequency between A and B. After that turn it into time domain, it should be the series of signals to frequency B.

  I simulation Matlab process, but it seems that he has a problem. What is the problem with this method? Are there methods to achieve this coming? Any response will be appreciaged.

  If your antennae are in free space so that you can assume that you have not all paths multiple problems, so it shouldn't be too difficult to predict the relative phase between A and B.

  You should know the angle between the line from A to B and the B line to the source.  You need to know the wavelength.  You need to do a few trigonometry.  In the simple case where all three are collinear phase shift is 2 * pi * (spacing of A - B) / wavelength. For the other angles, you will need to calculate the appropriate triangle.

  If the signal has a complex modulation, especially if it signals a wideband, there may not be any simple way or simple to calculate the phase shift.

• How to animate pushing in the face of the shape (photos)

  Hi people,

  I'm quite new to After Effects.  I'm trying to achieve an effect where I have a triangle and then inside the area of this triangle, another triangle gets drawn.  Then the face of this new triangle gets pushed into the deepest simulating the shape.  I mocked basically place this as my before and after the idea is to use sketchup, but I don't know how to do in aftereffects.  Any help or pointers to tutorials that do this kind of thing would be much appreciated!

  Thank you!

  If you try to reach this goal as a 3-d object you must use C4D lite or maybe same Blender (blender.org). If you just want to simulate 3D, you can simply animate layers and shape paths or create your 3D artwork that is simulated as a layered Illustrator file and create your animation separately.  Or the other technique will require a study on how to use the tools.

  Here's what fake 3D with shape layers might look like:

  

  I reorganized the workspace so you can see the properties changed and animated of shape layers. Here is the ASP for the project.

  Dropbox - fake 3d Triangle.aep (Note: your browser may add a .txt extension to the file ASP.) Just remove it and you should be able to open it.

  

• How to fix the After Effects error - it was not possible to analyze the shape of the mask on the Clipboard

  How can I fix the following error: it was not possible to analyze the shape of the mask on the Clipboard. I have this note when I opened in After effects.

  Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 the end of 2013

  After effects CC 2015.2 version 13.7.2.3

  Thank you.

  Looks like your mask has too many paths of access or summits. Try to turn on caps lock shift before you open the ASP (project file) or before you launch AE. If this does not clear your Cache and preferences. If this does not resolve the problem, we need workflow details that let you to this error.

• Illustrator converted my paths to forms and can not go back.

  I recently received the creative cloud Moleskine sketchbook and I had a lot of fun drawing in there, then send my images in the cloud where they are converted to SVG. to work in illustrator.

  I did today with a project of typography and worked for hours and hours, adjustment knobs and redraw the paths of my original drawing. long story short, I've accidentally closed my project. When I opened it the file he had saved my progress but it converted my paths to the forms and I can adjust is no longer handles and paths, and the project is unfinished.

  Is it possible to go back to my footsteps of created forms than illustrator origin?

  I work with Illustrator CC 2014

  Unfortunately, because you saved the .svg and not .ai file, he has not kept information of line width that you need, using only a single path.

  My guess is that you have saved as .svg, using the menu drop down and then closed without saving a .ai version. Without a file in this format, you will have to re-create the type still once.

  Always save a version in format .ai and then "export" or "Save as" in another format. This is a good workflow to get the habit of doing.
