Masks to Cropped Layers
Developer: Chris Zwar
After Effects utility that copies each mask on a layer to a cropped solid or pre-comp sized to that mask.
What Masks to Cropped Layers does
Masks to Cropped Layers is a utility by Chris Zwar for After Effects layers that hold many masks. It takes each mask and creates its own solid or pre-comp, trimmed to that mask's dimensions, which can reduce the work After Effects does when animating or compositing.
Sizes may be measured from simple rectangles for speed or bezier paths for accuracy, using a single frame, the work area or the layer's duration. You can process every mask or just a selection, and panel buttons pick all open or closed masks. It helps with pasted Illustrator art, rotoscoping and cleanups.
