I have to animate an artwork= imported from illustrator. It consists of many paths. The plan is a simple= write-on (using =E2=80=9Etrim paths=E2=80=9D feature of shape layers) + a = bit of wiggle paths and puppet tool distortions for secondary motion=E2=80= =A6

Thought the new =E2=80=9Ecreate shapes from vector = layer=E2=80=9D feature would come in useful to avoid tedious multiple path = copypasting from illustrator.
But! = It only allows to convert illustrator paths that HAVE a stroke applied. And= if they do, converter expands the strokes to shapes, which is useless for = =E2=80=9Etrim paths=E2=80=9D method, in my case.

Isn= =E2=80=99t there still a newer/quicker method to get multiple paths from Il= lustrator to AE shapes apart from countless path duplications/copypastes? := )
