How to merge paths into one?

I'm trying to shape morph a circle into 8 circles. So, the way I was planning to do this is to use the mask keyframe on a fill layer.
However I ran into a problem with actually pasting the 8 circles (I made them in Illustrator). After Effects pastes them as 8 separate masks, when the result I actually want is one single mask. How can I paste 8 different paths into a single vector mask?
Cheers,
Riho

You can't. That's just not how AE works. Each mask path is a separate entity, everything else is an illusion.

  • How to download & how to merge pdfs into one pdf file?

    Hello everyone!
    I hope someone can help me, because I am SO frustrated right now! I want to create an electronic document of a 40-page thesis I wrote. I no
    longer have the original computer files, so I took digital photos of each page.
    Then I converted all the jpegs into pdf files.
    Now I want to merge these 40 jpegs into one pdf file.
    I read that this is possible with Adobe Acrobat 8 or 9. So, yesterday I downloaded the trial version of what I thought was Adobe Acrobat 9. Well,
    two whole hours later, all I could find on my computer was Adobe Reader 9, which would not allow me to merge any pdfs.
    So, today, I again reinstalled the Adobe Acrobat 9. Now, after waiting another two hours, there is NOTHING on my computer--no Adobe Reader, no Adobe Acrobat, no desktop icons, nothing in the "All Programs" list when I press the Start menu, etc.
    What happened? How could something that took so damned long to download be totally invisible on my computer now? I do see Arcsoft, but that is for photographs. Is it possible to merge pdfs together using Arcsoft?
    I have SO much other work to do, and I am so disgusted that I have lost two days on this project, just trying to merge pdfs together! Please, if
    you have any suggestions as to how to get Adobe Acrobat 9 as a trial version an/or how to merge pdfs, please answer this post!
    Thank you very much for your help.
    Courtney

    Hi. Yes, that is the link from which I downloaded Acrobat 9. I now have this file on my computer: AcroPro90_efg.exe
    Yes, I did install it, but one of the times it hanged at 99.96%. Do you know what that means?
    Thanks in advance.

  • I have two apple Id accounts how do I merge them into one account

    I have two apple Id accounts how do I merge them into one account

    you can't merge Apple ID's
    From the FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

    Sorry, but the only answer is that you can't.

    Apple has no provisions for this. You cannot merge multiple Apple ID's into one ID. Content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.

  • How can I open all my itunes libraries and merge them into one?

    Some of my music can't be opened by itunes because it says it is in another library.  As there are several of these and they won't open,I can't see where the songs I want are.  Therefore I would like to open ALL the libraries and merge them into one.  Thanks for any help.

    Hmm, read that post of Dave Sawyer's and thought well, that's Ok I have it on my iPod, but no, it's not there either.  Then resorted to Time Machine (not used for a few months (took it away with us when we evacuated to avoid Cyclone Yasi) only to find that is playing up also, and it doesn't appear to be anywhere there either!
    One thing leads on to another - Time Machine has only backed up to 3 months back; then there is nothing beyond!  yet there is tons of stuff on it.  Maybe it backs up the whole system each time, and not just the changes made inbetween times.   The prefs. won't appear and so I can't change the setup.
    All this just because of one sone!

  • Convert different types of files and merged them into one pdf

    Hi, everyone. I'm girl from China.
    There is folder containing severl files of different types, like doc, msg, jpeg etc.   And I want to convert and merge them into one pdf following a certain order. I know that PDFmaker can do that nicely, but the problem is that I have like 3000+ fodlders that requires the same work.
    I want to do it with VBA and Acrobat. I have a Acrobat XI Standard Version and a perfect license, by the way
    And I have got the code(Thanks, Karl Heinz Kremer) of merging two pdfs into one, but how can I convert them into pdf first?
    Thank you very much.
    If I can finish this, I would like to publish my code on this forum.

    Wow, that's great news. But how should I add the Action?
    1. There is no action named "Covert files into Pdf" in the tools panel....
    And if I write Javascript code to do this action. How should I write it?
    app.openDoc({
    cPath: "/c/temp/myPic.jpg",
    bUseConv: true
    These code only works when I specify the path of the file.
    If you know how, pls tell me..........

  • Merging rows into one row but into SEPARATE Columns

    Hello Gurus,
    I have searched alot on OTN and many other places, but no where I could get the solution of how can we merge rows into one row but separate column. For example
    Consider the below scenario
    "DEPARTMENT", "EMP","NAME","SUBJECT"
    "Electronics","1","Sam","LIC"
    "Electronics","2","Pam","VLSI"
    "Electronics","3","Tom","C"
    "Mech","1","Abu","Thermo"
    "Mech","4","Lina","Machines"Now, I need the output like
    Based on Department as Group By Clause
    "DEPARTMENT", "EMP1","NAME1","SUBJECT1","EMP2","NAME2","SUBJECT2","EMP3","NAME3","SUBJECT3"
    "Electronics","1","Sam","LIC","2","Pam","VLSI","3","Tom","C"
    "Mech","1","Abu","Thermo","4","Lina","Machines"
    The row data to be loaded into separate columns. Name of the column is not an issue... can be anythingIn all the forums which I went through I could find them loading into a single column, but not into respective separate columns.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    ORDER BY     txt1;Many Thanks.You only need that when you need column aliases based on the actual data (and you explicitly said you don't need that) or when can't put an upper bound on the number of columns to be displayed. If that doesn't apply to this problem, then don't use any kind of dynamic SQL (like the code above); it makes the job much more difficult, less efficient and less robust.
    Here's what the code above is doing.
    If you were hard-coding a query that showed the number of people in each job, and you knew that the possible jobs were 'ANALYST', 'CLERK' and 'MANAGER', then you might hard-code a query like this:
    SELECT    deptno
    ,       COUNT (CASE WHEN job = 'ANALYST'  THEN 1 END)     AS analyst
    ,       COUNT (CASE WHEN job = 'CLERK'    THEN 1 END)     AS clerk
    ,       COUNT (CASE WHEN job = 'MANAGER'  THEN 1 END)     AS manager
    FROM       scott.emp
    GROUP BY  deptno
    ;If the jobs had different names, or if there were not 3 different jobs, then you would have to change the lines in the SELECT clause that start with ", COUNT ( CASE ...".
    The code you posted is from an example of dynamic SQL, where you first run a Preliminary Query . (What you posted above is, in fact, the complete preliminary query.) The output of that preliminary query is exactly the variable part of the real query, such as:
    ,       COUNT (CASE WHEN job = 'ANALYST'  THEN 1 END)     AS analyst
    ,       COUNT (CASE WHEN job = 'CLERK'    THEN 1 END)     AS clerk
    ,       COUNT (CASE WHEN job = 'MANAGER'  THEN 1 END)     AS managerYou then use this output as part of your main query. In other words, you can write something today that will generate exacrly as many columns as you need next year, with names from the data as it is next year. How? because you're not writing the full query today. The variable part will be written by the preliminary query when it runs next year.

  • How to Merge Eudora into Apple Mail?

    Mac OS 10.5.8 is now obsolete. So I'm planning to upgrade to Lion 10.7.x.
    Since Lion does not support Eudora, I must switch to some other email client. After many hours of research I have decided to switch to Apple Mail.
    Unfortunately, the two popular conversion applications (Emailchemy and Eudora Mailbox Cleaner) appear no longer in existence.
    Any good tips on how to merge Eudora into Apple Mail on OS 10.5.8 (so I can upgrade to Lion 10.7.x)?
    Thank you.
    Scott "pulling his hair out" in Saint Louis

    Hi folks,
    I just helped someone move 350k messages from a series of Eudora archives to Apple Mail.  Anyone who says they had great luck with Apple Mail directly importing their Eudora messages is either a liar or didn't notice (or care) that their dates were all messed up. So here are some notes.
    First, Eudora Mailbox Cleaner only runs under 10.6 since it's PPC and requires Rosetta.  So you're gonna need a 10.6 or earlier mac (or virtual machine).
    Second, After running Eudora Mailbox Cleaner, you need to poke Apple Mail into rebuilding all those mailboxes.  You can go Mailbox->Rebuild for each one if you only have a handful, but an alternative is to intentionally break (aka delete) Apple Mail's mailbox cache.  You can do this by deleting/renaming the file called 'Mailboxes' (IIRC, I don't have a 10.6 mac in front of me to double check).  Next time you open Apple Mail it will rebuild all your local mailboxes.
    Third, Eudora Mailbox Cleaner will terminate if you throw it a particularly complex (or large group of mailboxes).  I assume it has something to do with the way it walks mailboxes.  You're going to want to break up any mail folder that has a number of large subfolders into multiple folders or imports. So for example, if you had the following structure:
    folder/
    folder/a (big)
    folder/b (big)
    folder/c (big)
    Eudora mailbox cleaner will likely crash.  If you reparent your folder structure so it's something like this:
    folder/part1/a
    folder/part2/b
    folder/part3/c
    This way no individual sub folder contains folders that exceed some magical threshold. I never figured out exactly how/why this happens, but if you put your big mailboxes each in their own folder, the import will usually just work.  You might also have to break up your import into smaller chunks.
    A couple other things to note, Eudora allows pretty much anything in mailbox names including ~><*%$@&/\|` etc.  While most of these will continue to work fine in Apple Mail, it's in your best interest to rename them to something more normalized to steer clear of trouble.
    As for Lion, I never successfully got Lion Mail to import mailboxes created by Eudora Mailbox Cleaner properly.  Either they wouldn't show up at all or they would show up nested with two copies of the mailbox, for example MailboxQQ had messages in it as well as subfolder MailboxQQ/Messages with a duplicate copy of the mail.
    So for me, going from Eudora to Lion Apple Mail I had to do the following:
    Eudora->Eudora Mailbox Cleaner->Apple Mail (on 10.6) then copy the files over to the Lion machine and let Apple Mail (on 10.7) import the 10.6 Apple Mail Mailboxes into it's new 'V2' mailbox format.
    So good luck. A perfect migration is possible, it just takes some work.

  • I have iTune accounts under two separate Apple IDs.  Can I merge them into one account under one ID?

    I have iTune accounts under two separate Apple IDs.  Can I merge them into one account under one ID?  I have purchased music and video in both.

    No, it is not possible to merge accounts.  Choose one as the primary account and keep a local backup of all purchases so you don't get into the mess where you encounter a 90 day freeze on re-downloading past purchases from multiple accounts.
