In this tutorial, I show you how to copy and paste a path from Adobe Illustrator into After Effects. We will start off by visiting the Noun Project (thenounproject.com) to download a free icon (.svg), open it in Illustrator, copy its path, pasting it into After Effects, and how to apply effects onto your path once its been copied.

One of the issues you run into when pasting a path is that it registers as a mask path. You will learn how to convert the mask path into a path that can be animated.

This technique will allow you to take any vector shape and import it into After Effects for animation.

The smiley face that I used in this example was created by Stephen Borengasser, US and can be found here: https://thenounproject.com/search/?q=...
