Important Notes & Limitations
- •
Before saving shapes created with After Effects basic shape tools (Rectangle, Ellipse, etc.), convert them to Bezier paths: Right-click on the shape path (e.g., "Rectangle Path 1") and choose "Convert to Bezier Path".
- •
Some shape properties and effects from After Effects cannot be preserved when saving due to extension API limitations.
- •
SVG export may not be 100% accurate for complex shapes, nested groups, or shapes with effects. Best results are achieved with simple shapes.
- •
Large or complicated shape layers may result in approximate SVG exports and previews. Consider breaking down complex shapes into simpler components.
- •
Real-time preview in the extension may differ slightly from the final result in After Effects, especially for shapes with complex properties or effects.
- •
For best results, save shapes in their simplest form without complex effects or transformations that may not transfer correctly.
