• How to transform a mask on a shape layer? (CS6)

  I detached the layer mask to the shape layer and ensured that the thumbnail of the layer mask is selected in the layers palette.

  If I do a cmd - t on OSX to transform, Photoshop (CS6) selects the shape layer path to transform instead of the layer mask, even when the thumbnail of the mask is still selected, and even if I have a choice of brand.

  Is this a bug?

  Activate the move (V) tool and activate the option Show transform controls can transform the untargeted mask. By clicking on the small square handle will launch the mode of transformation.

  

  CS6 shape layer is really still the the shape layer pre - CS6 - a fill layer with a vector mask - but with the addition of a stroke attribute. The attempt to disguise as a new special type of layer resulted in inconsistencies, trouble, inconvenience, and deterioration of the workflow.

• Scribble on 3D shape layer effect redesigns and changes the thickness when you move the camera in the Z direction

  Hello community,

  I have created a shape layer in Adobe After Effects, marked as 3D layer and copy and paste a path of Adobe Illustrator as a mask. I applied
  a static scribble "on transparent" effect to this layer, which works very well.
  The problem I have is: when I'm using a camera, bound to a null object and move it in Z-direction (which resembles zoom), static squiggles
  are redrawn and the thickness of the line scibble is fit for the line seems to have a thickness irrespective of the position of the camera on
  the z axis.

  
  This is how the shape with scribble effect resembles the departure

  
  This is how the form looks like by moving the camera 'backwards' (-on the z axis). The lines are all too thick
  compared to the camera and therefore appear thicker compared to the size of the shape. Also drawing freehand inside the arrow is obviously
  redesigned, apparently maintain a constant spacing between the lines of the Freehand drawing.

  Is it possible to prevent the Doodle redesigned and lines and spaces to be put on the scale when the camera
  moves?

  I use after effects CS 6, 11.0.0.378, Windows 7 64 bit. Scribble effect is version 1.0

  I appreciate your help! Thank you.

  First of all, update! You are missing a lot of bug fixes. CS6 should be on version 11.0.4

  Second, you need to precompose your Doodle arrow so that all effects are occurring inside the precomp. And just to make the 3d precomp.

• Dynamic object and shape layer

  Hey guys,.

  I have two questions, and I would be very happy if you could help me with my problem.

  01. when I copy a form of Illustrator and paste it into Photoshop as a "shape layer", it is sometimes placed on contact information does not match. It is not represented as the 'pixilated Preview' since Illustrator intends:

  

  But when I use the tool 'transform' to move and type in coordinates equal form, he looks right and he is portrayed as for the 'pixilated Preview' in Illustrator:

  

  When I place the same icon as a "smart object", it is always placed right. Is there a solution why?

  02. when I place a symmetrical "shape layer" (like the heart icon) and check the colors with the "Color Picker", a few pixels to the right are (minimal) chromatic values other than the same pixel on the left side. But when I place it as a "smart object" pixels on the right have the same values of color on the left side. Is there a solution for this?

  I really appreciate if someone could explain that to me.

  Thank you very much in advance!

  See you soon

  What do you proof is anti-aliasing. There is no way to adjust the color. It is supposed to be a mixture of the color of objects, and what is behind it.

• When I use my clipping on an image mask, fills the form I use the whole layer instead of just being a small shape Panel and then I put my picture on the shape layer, a clipping mask, but the form becomes clear with just a slight edge. The photo behind

  When I use my clipping on an image mask, fills the form I use the whole layer instead of just being a small shape Panel and then I put my picture on the shape layer, a clipping mask, but the form becomes clear with just a slight edge. The photo behind it does not move. I did this project of class before and it worked fine so I'm not sure if I have something started or... Any thoughts?

  I thought about it. That's all just stupid on my part and a bit of frustration because photoshop is my sworn enemy of then adobe added in. Thanks tho!

• How to set the content on one layer at a time and not the whole picture - photoshop cs6

  Hello

  I create something photo in photoshop cs6 and I have a mountain behind a layer that is visible and in total I have about 6 layers and when I try to change something on the 6 layer (therefore somehting like the saturation and hue) she change what is on the 5 layer, at the same time, so how can I do so I just adjust the content on the layer 6?

  Thank you

  Hello...

  While on the adjustment layer, the properties panel displays a button that looks like at this:

  

  If you select the setting apply only on the layer below and the adjustment layer will look as follows.

  

  hope that helps.

• I did a shape layer, and it moves in After Effects CS4.

  Hello

  I'm working on a project that has a lot of masks and shape layers to frame masks in After Effects CS4. For example the timeline that I am focusing is 3 seconds long; There is 2 keyframes in the shape layer (vertical rectangle), key frames are 3 seconds gap and are at the same position (511.1,89.5). If I go to the beginning of the seconds 3 press the space bar and let him play for some reason any moves the rectangle from left to right. Although keyframes aren't there, he is moving-even thought the last keyframe to the left is the same as the next keyframe law - as the first screenshot

  The best solution, I came up with for this is to copy and paste keyframes so that there is a keyframe for each frame within 3 seconds, then I get a schedule like the second screen shot.

  Is there something I could use where I could select 2 identical keys seconds out and make the form remain in the same spot with them into the second screenshot? It is speed and things happen quickly in this case isn't it?

  I also had an another question-are there - it a shortcut to insert a keyframe in the timeline? I found a page with all the shortcuts and couldn't find this one should be.

  Thanks guys, you have been life savers in the past!

  As keyboard shortcuts you go to hold down the option/alt key and the keyboard shortcut ' Show/Hide properties ' to switch between adding and removing keyframes.  Adobe does not have the freedom to document them all in their page keyboard shortcuts, so here goes:

  Option + P: Position keyframe

  Option + R: Rotation keyframe (adds the keyframe at all values of rotation and orientation if the layer is 3D)

  Option + S: Scale keyframe

  Option + A: keyframe Anchor Point

  Option-T: Opacity keyframe (adding a keyframe of intensity if the layer is a 3D light)

  Option + M: Keyframe mask path

  Option + F: Mask Feather keyframe

  Option + L: Levels Audio keyframe

  * This does that for the single letter shortcuts - double letters do not work (i.e. TT for the opacity of the mask, RR for the time remapping, etc.).

  * Option + shift + the letter will work too which is good if you have reconfigured the Option + letter for other things such as throwing scripts - that I have.

  On the "boomerang" effect, I highly recommend you go to your preferences > "Général" tab and turn on 'by default spatial interpolation to linear', then you can manually add the Bezier handles to your keyframes in the composition Viewer if need be.

• I use an iMac with El Capitan and Photoshop CS6. I'm trying to add a shadow to a text on a picture. I followed the instructions to double the text layer but not dropshadow dialog box appears and I can't. Where would it be?

  Double click on the text on the right side of the display panel does not cause a dialog box open. I just need to know where the dialog box is so I can add the drop shadow

  Please make sure that you double-click on the text layer in the layer panel not the name of the layer. With the text, it can be difficult if the name is too long. You can also right-click on the text layer in the Panel and bring up the contextual menu and select 'blending Options '.

  

• possible to paint on a shape layer?

  Hi all

  Question about paint on a shape layer. Is this possible? I know that I can paint on a solid that I tried all diff combos and found it going to paint on a solid but I can't my painting to paint on a form.

  Is there a way or a work around to achieve? I use a form instead of a SOLID layer to access the value of the extrusion BTW. I tried to use the > ADD > stroke in Ahmed to cheat in this way. Yet I do not get a second trait seems to be one. However, I can race around the fill for the shape, but is not the area I hold out.

  A photo for clarity, as it may seem always so clear when you type, it's another thing to be on the receiving end and trying to encryption

  Thanks for the help in this topic or a work-around.

  Read my first post. You need not more of a shape layer. With your bucket selected shape layer, select the pen tool and then draw your second way on this layer. Determine the race for the second white path and stop filling. EZ as pie. You can have thousands of different paths on a single shape layer.

  Look here: Flower Pot CS6 project

  

• 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.

  

• Need help to transform a shape layer in a layer mask blur adjustment

  I understand how to do a blur mask on the image adjustment layer, so it blurs the images below, which is essentially what I'm trying to do, but in this case, I already have the shape layer (or rather imported from Illustrator > converted to a shape layer) and is in a nested composition.

  First of all, is it possible to blur the images of a composition if the adjustment layer is nested in a composition of the child, or the adjustment layer must be in the parent publication; the composition is blurry?

  Second of all, how we simply take a form that they have already created and use that for a mask, in this case, a mask that will blur everything below?

  Forum thanks!

  There are a few things that are not effective in your workflow and your approach.

  Lets talk first about the Illustrator files in After Effects. Firstly, absolutely the only reason you would ever convert a layer to illustrator in a form would be to use animator tools found in the add menu at the top of the shape layer properties in the timeline panel or to animate a Bézier path on this layer. There is no other advantage in converting a vector layer to a shape. NONE.

  Second, if you want to hide an adjustment layer then you can draw the mask directly on the adjustment layer or any layer with transparency, including an illustrator layer, layer photoshop, any hidden layer or layer shape directly on top of the adjustment layer and use this layer with transparency as an Alpha or Alpha reverse cache by approach to the adjustment layer.

  You can use the luminance values of any layer that has no transparency that a luma or reversed hides by luma approach. The white areas offer transparency with luma standard. IOW, if you have a radial with white in the middle and black gradient on the edge and you use a luma matte and white will be transparent on the layer below.

  Standard caches only affects the layer immediately below the source.

  Adjustment effect layers each layer directly under the adjustment layer. Masks and caches can be used to control the effects of an adjustment layer.

  You can also use masks on any layer to control the effect added to this layer if you have a recent version of AE. You will find the option under options to Compositing.

  If you have any layer with transparency or the strong luminance values, you can use Auto Trace to generate a cache for this layer based on transparency or luminance. Any way shape mask or Bézier path can be copied and pasted to another layer.

  We will take your last question now. You should be able to answer. To use any shape you created as a mask, you use this layer as a track matte.

  We will change that approach a bit and assume that you have created a shape layer by using the pen tool or converted an Illustrator layer to a shape. You have a path that you can be found by selecting the shape layer and by pressing twice the key U. find the path you want to copy, rotate options path to reveal animation controls and to set a single keyframe and then copy (Ctrl/Cmnd + c). Even of the forms created with parametric tools like star, ellipse, rectangle can be converted into a path by right-clicking the shape and selecting convert to paths. When you have copied the path put you on the layer where you want to paste the path, select the pen tool to begin to draw a mask, click anywhere on the layer and paste it (ctrl/cmnd + v) and that you have created the mask. This works for forms and masks on any layer.

  Here's a bet to keep everything by copying and pasting masks. The size and position of a path is calculated from the center of the layer and has no relationship to scaling, rotating, or the position of the layer. If you drew a mask on a layer that is resized to 50% and moved to the top right of the comp and rotated 45 ° and then paste this path to any other layer you will NOT get a path in the same position and the same size as the layer sampled in the model. You end up with a path that match if every sampled layer transformation properties have been reset and the layer was at the center of the model and the rotation and scale were normal. You must pay attention to this issue by copying and pasting traces of Bézier.

  I missed a question type. If you nest or call a layer previously and there is an adjustment layer in the main computer it will affect all layers below. If you dial before a layer and a top adjustment layer then only layers in the nested model will be influenced by the adjustment layer.  I replied before but wanted to make sure.

  BE very careful when you watch YouTube tutorials on workflow because a growing number of them is bad teaching techniques and pointing you to the bottom of the dead-end alleys. Make sure you vet your training.

  If you have any other questions the best place to find good community resources is to type a word in the search help field in the upper right of the AE. For example, if you typed layer adjustment or masks, you would find a lot of very good advice on how to use these features.

• Copy path of a shape layer to the layer path again

  I use connect traces on a shape layer to animate the "drawing" of the form. Then I have a still image (my hand) that I want to follow the application of the shape layer.

  In AE, I this today by defining the paths of the toppings, then copy the path of the shape layer.  I go to the layer again, select the position attribute and paste. This deal is still keyframes layer which coincide with the shape animation.

  I thought I could go something on the shape layer and then create keyframes on the layer again. However, I am not sure this makes sense?  Use valueAtTime() on the way to the shape layer?

  Any ideas how I can replicate this workflow to ExtendScript?

  Try this - it might get you up to get the path of the layer shape copied in the position property of the layer of the hand:

  
  

  function deselectAll (theComp) {}

  for (var i = 1; i)<= thecomp.numlayers;="">

  theComp.layer (i) .selected = false;

  }

  var theProps = theComp.selectedProperties;

  for (var i = 0; i)< theprops.length;="">

  theProps [i] .selected = false;

  }

  }

  var app.project.activeItem = myComp;

  deselectAll (myComp);

  var myPath = myComp.layer ("Shape Layer 1") .property ("ADBE vectors root Group").property("ADBE_Vector_Group").property ("ADBE vector Group").property("ADBE_Vector_Shape-Group").property ("ADBE vector form");

  myPath.selected = true;

  app.executeCommand (app.findMenuCommandId ("Copy"));

  deselectAll (myComp);

  myProp = myComp.layer("Hand").property ('Position');

  myProp.selected = true;

  app.executeCommand (app.findMenuCommandId ("Paste"));

• square shape layer

  CS6 AE 11.0.3.6 / Mac OS X 10.9.3 / I want to create a symmetrical shape layer (square). Now shift and dragging give me a rectangle. How can I fix it?  Reset my settings?

  I don't know if it's my settings. Other forums I have visited, have seen the same problem. After giving up, I discovered that A.E. CC doesn't have this kind of problem. Allows to adjust manually (in properties) does not work after turning 90 degrees of form. It always winds up looking like a rectangle. The same can be said about the shape of the ellipse. Hold SHIFT after that drag my composition leaves me with an oval not a symmetrical circle. It's the anchor? Help!

  There is nothing wrong. your model has a 1.5 pixel aspect ratio, not square. You must fix the parameters of the model.

• Beginner with the pen tool problem: not obvious on any shape layer

  I'm learning the pen tool. I made a line with the pen tool, but now I can't find out what layer it is on, and I can't caress as I wanted. All my layers are turned off and the form appears. However the research through the layers there is no vector layer that contains my line. In addition, I can't touch the line as the line options and filling are greyed out on my table of paths. I have attached a copy of Θcran to explain if all goes well I mean. I use CS2 on Windows 7.

  

  Your Layer palette capture you have no visible layer and targeted in order to trace the path would not be available and gray by Photoshop.  Target a layer visible and you should be able to stroke the path on this layer. Also, you should be able to add a shape layer by using this path of pen.

• Animation of the shape layer fill content

  I'm fairly new to After effects do not know too much of its objects and scripts.

  How can I access the content of a shape layer existing, edit and animate its fill color property?

  Thanks in advance

  It will depend on the type of shape, but for a rectangle, for example, set a keyframe at 3 seconds for the yellow color might look like this:

  var p = app.project.item (1).layer("Shape_Layer_1").property ('content') .property ("Rectangle 1").property("Contents").property ("Fill 1") .property ("Color");

  p.setValueAtTime(3,[1,1,0,1])

  My advice is to get a copy of the incredibly usefel script from Jeff Almasol here rd_GimmePropPath.jsx:

  http://www.redefinery.com/AE/view.php?item=rd_GimmePropPath

  You can use it to get the syntax appropriate for the property.
