labwork… rd: Masks to Shapes

new in the lab is rd: Masks to Shapes, a script to convert a layer’s masks to a shape layer with shape paths. as usual, feel free to leave your feedback (input, requests, bug reports, etc.) in the comments.

    Love all the work you’ve done for the AE community. I have really found your masks-to-shapes script useful. I was wondering if there was any plan to try and make it compatible with masks that are key-framed. I assume it’s a lot harder to do, so if it’s basically not possible, don’t sweat it. I’m trying to use it in conjunction with maltaannon’s shape extruder and having the ability to create pseudo-3D objects that change shape over time would be insanely awesome. Thanks again for all your hard work!

    thanks, mike. i have no specific plans, but can look into it. would you expect it to match at Mask Path keyframe times only, or even inbetween (i.e., keyframe interpolation should match)? trying to do the latter might be more work.

    i can add this request to my to-do list, but probably can’t get to it immediately, so just subscribe to my site feed so you can be informed when it’s available.

    thanks!

    sorry for such a late reply!

    Obviously if it were to match the interpolation it would be absolutely awesome, but I think if it were to just match the keyframe times it would be sufficient. Thanks for the quick reply last time and thanks for all the hard work!
