| Those painful days are long gone! "Create shapes from vector layer" is like the holy grail for illustrator animation. If you use the "Explode Shape Layer" script from Zack Lovatt.... www.aescripts.com/explode-shape-layer/ you can then separate the complex shape paths to individual ae layers. Also don't forget about the "shapes to masks" script and the "masks to shapes" script. They open up the whole world of paths bending to your will. There are, of course, even more awesome scripts for you to discover there. I advise you explore the possibilities at the amazing ae scripts site. Every serious AE artist needs to check it out!
