Adjust the tension of a RotoBezier mask

If you want to adjust the tension of more than one vertex simultaneously, then select them.

2 Using the Convert Vertex tool , drag a vertex.

To activate the Convert Vertex tool when the Pen tool is selected, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS).

The Adjust Tension pointer appears as you drag a vertex of the RotoBezier mask.

Clicking a vertex instead of dragging sets the vertex to a corner point (100% tension); clicking again sets the vertex

to a smooth point (33% tension). Dragging up or to the right decreases the selection’s tension, increasing the curve

of adjacent path segments; dragging down or to the left increases the selection’s tension, decreasing the curve of

adjacent path segments.

To view the tension value of a vertex, look in the Info panel as you adjust the tension.

Copy a path from Illustrator, Photoshop, or Fireworks

You can copy a path from Illustrator, Photoshop, or Fireworks and paste it into After Effects as a mask path or shape

path.

& Clipboard section of the Adobe Illustrator Preferences dialog box.

For a path imported from Photoshop to be scaled correctly, the Photoshop document must have a resolution of

72dpi. This is the Resolution setting of documents created in Photoshop using a Film & Video preset.

1 In Illustrator, Photoshop, or Fireworks, select an entire path, and then choose Edit > Copy.

2 In After Effects, do one of the following to define a target for the paste operation:

• To create a new mask, select a layer.

• To replace an existing mask path or shape path, select its Path property.

Note: To paste a path as a shape path, you must select the Path property of an existing shape in a shape layer. This

selection tells After Effects what the target of the paste operation is; if the target isn't specified in this way, After Effects

assumes that the target is the entire layer and therefore draws a new mask. If there is no Path property—perhaps because

the shape layer is empty—then you can draw a placeholder path with the Pen tool and then paste the path from

Illustrator into that.

3 Choose Edit > Paste.

If you paste multiple paths into a shape path, the first path goes into the shape path, and the remaining paths are

they are added to the entire layer as masks.
