How to Prepare and Import Illustrator files to Adobe After Effects

Hey everyone. In this tutorial we will learn how to prepare and import files from Illustrator to Adobe After Effects and get them ready for animation. This will be explained through two methods. After Effects shape layers contain vector graphics objects called shapes. By default, a shape consists of a path, a stroke, and a fill. After importing files from Illustrator, a command called "Create shapes from vector layers" will be used in After Effects for creation of Shape Layers.

Thank you so much for this, it's such a time-saver!
The only thing is that when I try to Create Shapes From Vector Layer, it doesn't behave as intended. Some of the items get a grey background, the constraints become the whole document size, etc.

[@cocokane1233]

Same

[@aprillwapo3754]

How long does it take to learn soft?

[@EgglessWonder]

[@philipmensah9528]

[@jayvicjonroble3700]

[@traviswinn]

That was cool, but at the end it would be nice if you would have shown how to merge the group layers, thanks for the information!!!

[@djraider]
