In general, is it good practice to always "Create Shape from Vector Layer"?

[jink64542809]

I was animating a character that I downloaded from adobe stock and this question popped into my mind.

I believe that you get more control over shape than a vector layer, such as the ability to add "pucker and bloat", "wiggle" etc.

I was just curious if it is a good practice/habit to get into.

Well, considering that this functionality didn't exist for 20 years before CC the answer should be more than obvious - it's a "nice to have" on occasion, but far from essential nor is it in any way required a lot of the time.

Understood. I will do so on need by basis.

Thank you so much for your reply!
