Hey guys,

so, I'm working on this project that involves many vector shapes which will be animated.
What I am trying to figure out is a way to bring in a shape from illustrator and deform it along a spline... when pasting a brush from illustrator into after effects, it creates a shape and not a line that has a variation in thickness. But in order to simplify the animation process it would be great if I could define a
master spline, that controls the other layers mask.
A simple pick whip expression unfortunately didn't do the job and I'm not an expression guru, which is why I hoped you guys would know if there is a solution for the problem?
