Convert a path between manual Bezier and RotoBezier

You can convert any manual Bezier mask path or manual Bezier shape path to a RotoBezier path. If the manual Bezier path has direction handles that have been adjusted, this conversion changes the shape of the path, because After Effects calculates the curvature of RotoBezier segments automatically.

The conversion of a RotoBezier path to a manual Bezier path does not change the shape of the path.

  1. Select a mask in the Layer, Composition, or Timeline panel, or select a shape path in the Composition or Timeline panel.
  2. Choose Layer > Mask And Shape Path > RotoBezier.
