Hey Eric,

Nothing has changed... you can paste Mocha AE data back to AE 2 ways. Select the Mocha layer and go to export shape, then copy to clipboard. 

In AE you can do Paste>mocha mask. This converts Mocha AE shape to an AE mask. 

Or you can do Paste which should apply the free Mocha Shape effect. This uses a plug-in to generate the mask and the per-point edge feathering found in Mocha AE will translate. 

Hope this helps. I do know that in various iterations in the past (on PC), the Adobe clipboard would sometimes get wonky. I remember having to copy to clipboard, hide AE and click on desktop, then go back to AE to paste. 

Lastly, if you are using Mocha Pro plug-in, this process is greatly simplified as you can select "create AE masks" in the plug-in and it will automatically convert the Mocha shapes to AE masks. And Mocha Pro 5 can convert Mocha spahes to Premiere as well. ;)

Hello all,

Can someone tell me the new procedure for pasting shape layer data in AE?  I used to mask out an area (like eyes), then come back to AE and paste shape layer data.  I do not see that option anymore. I presume it's built in somewhere now.

Appreciate the help.

Eric
