The PS Layer Styles can only be imported as editable if you choose to import the PSD as a composition.

If you've already imported it as footage you can go to Layer > Convert to Layered Comp with the PS footage layer selected (also accessible by right clicking the layer).� This should give you editable layer styles inside the converted comp.

If you then go into the new pre-comp and select the text layer there will now be a Layer > Convert to Editable Text option available (also accessible by right clicking the layer).

-D

yes, figured that out :-)
Jumping to another subject:
didn't it used to be that PS layer styles could be imported as editable AE layer styles?
Somehow I seem to get only merged or ignore options...
Same with PS text layers, they come in as bitmaps only not editable text...
Am I missing something?

I'm the timeline click on the 397% to open the dialog box

In there you can switch to pixels

Hello is there a place where the actual dimensions in the comp of a scaled layer are shown?
For example I have a 1600x900 layer scaled up to 397% so calculating this is 6352x3573.
Where can I see its dimensions now?
Info tab just shows percentages and positioning info.
Solid setting dialogue gives original size.
Thnx
