![]() ![]() You can edit the width in AI so that it just covers the brush. this means Ae will set the curves automatically and not work with handles - great feature for rotoscoping round shapes ( creating the path works similarly to the Curvature pen in Ps or Ai). When you import as a comp you'll have a separate layer that you can convert and use as a track matte to reveal the original brush stroke. If you must use a brush then just duplicate the path you want to reveal with trim paths (I usually the pair on a separate layers) then change the stroke back to basic. This information is in the User Guide under Preparing Illustrator files for Video. That, and actually animating the path are the only reasons to convert a vector layer to a shape layer. I'm assuming you want to use shape layer animators. Just open up the AI file, change the stroke to basic (delete the brush) and change the stroke width to 3 points, save, then convert to a shape layer again. It is, right at 14:42 I tried with and without activating it. It is a single point stroke with a 3 point round brush applied. Your Stroke effect is not shown as enabled in the screenshot at Graphic Design. Brushes can be any shape so this makes perfect sense. If you want to convert a vector path to a stroke and not a filled shape, the path in Illustrator cannot have a brush applied.
