I understand! That's what happened then, thank you!

How can I use some existing animation like Text Presets to apply to vectors?

Thank you

As I said, you cannot use text animators for vectors. They are two entirely different systems. If you had spent 5 minutes studying how to use text animators and how they work you would see there is no reason to expect them to work on any other type of layer. It is not a bug.

If you would explain exactly what you are trying to do maybe we can help. The solution may be as simple as splitting a text layer after you have applied the text animation and then converting the second half to a shape layer and using a shape animator. Without understanding exactly what you are trying to accomplish it is impossible to offer a worthwhile solution to your problem.

There are only a few good reasons to turn text layers into shape layers (vectors). One of them would be to use Shape animators.

Which presets? There are Text Presets and all kinds of other presets? Text presets only work with text layers because they use text animators.

It does not sound to me like you have read the documentation.
