Situation:

 

1. Artist runs script on mac that creates corner pin data into a text file. 

2. Text file has Unix (LF) line break characters

3. Notepad on windows 11 now recognizes these. 

4. Attempt to copy paste data into AE Layer

5. AE refuses to patse becasue it is looking for Windows (CRLF) line breaks. 

6. Spend a few hours scratching your head as to why your keyframe data won't paste. 

7. Fall down deep rabbit hole 

 

Workarounds:

Drag txt file into Chrome and then copy paste from there seems to be the easiest.
