Hi all.
Practice using the BridgeTalk class.
Here is a description of the sequence of actions of the script.
Export an Illustrator file to a PSD file.
Opening a PSD file in After Effects.
Copy the layers of the Illustrator file.
Place the copied Illustrator file layer on the After Effects project layer.
Why is only one copied to all the layers in an After Effects file, the last layer mask from the Illustrator file?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wanted to attach a file Draw.ai, but the form does not let it through.
The file contains one layer, inside of which there are 5 layers.
Each of which contains one free-form pathItems.
