=C2=A0Someone wrote a script that converts masks to shape layers. Copy y= our paths in as masks and then run that on it.

Hi everyone!
=C2=A0
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 l= ayers) + a bit of wiggle paths and puppet tool distortions for secondary mo= tion=E2=80=A6

Thought the new =E2=80=9Ecreate shapes from vector l= ayer=E2=80=9D feature would come in useful to avoid tedious multiple path c= opypasting from illustrator.
But! I= t 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.

=C2=A0
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? := )

=C2=A0
Huge = thanks if any idea comes up :)
