Distribute shapes to layers
I have one shape layer containing several objects (which the app calls 'groups'). I'd like to have each of these objects on his own layer, so to make them easy to animate.
Thank you very much

Type Group in the Timeline Search field with the problem shape layer selected. This should give you a list of the groups in the timeline. Go to the Layer menu, and select New/Shape Layer. Select the new empty shape layer and duplicate it as many times as necessary (Ctrl/Cmnd + d) so you have one less empty shape layer than you have groups.
You should now have a stack of empty shape layers above the original shape layer with a stack of groups under that layer. Select the top Group and Cut it (Ctrl/Cmnd + x), then select the top empty shape layer and paste (Ctrl/Cmnd + V). Repeat until the bottom shape layer only has one group.
If you are going to do this often consider writing a script.
