Great tutorial. I've been doing graphic design for 20 years now and so many clients (external or internal) expect graphic design creatives to be able to do motion graphics.
Man, your content is always great. I am soooo sad that I have been too busy to watch videos lately. I love watching your subscriber growth. Up over 7k now! You're a bloody legend, mate!
This was very helpful! Thank you!!! I learnt how to manipulate shapes in Illustrator, was struggling to manipulate the vector file imported from illustrator. Converting the vector to shapes helped!
Thank you! This was the missing piece I needed to learn. I never understood how to properly import and size logo elements. I have clients that usually give me shitty logo files to work with. I always need to reformat them in Illustrator before animating in After Effects. Thank you for posting this video.
Great tutorial Javier! I think that if you'd play the finished animation at the beginning of the video you could definitely improve watch time and viewer retention rate.
You are a life saver!!! I'm attempting to put together a video for part of a capstone project for my grad degree. It has nothing to do with video editing/arts, but I have used the print programs with Adobe and never used AE previously. Thank you so much for this video. I have been looking a video to clearly explain how to do this and yours was it!!!
Josh thanks 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭... for days I have been looking for a solution I can literally kiss your feet right now wow just wow finally I get the point now ....Gosh thank you so much thanks you wow 😭😭😭😭😭... you have saved me at last ... Indeed never give up
When I import the ai file into ae it only shows up as a black screen. Even if I turn on the transparency mode there is nothing there. I made sure color is RGB. Any thoughts? I am so close! Great vid
Hi, I'm having a problem that I don't know how to solve. When I "create shape from vector layer" the color of my layer changes. So I had one layer that was a dark blue and after creating the shape it turned into black, and the light blue layer turned into white after creating the shape. Any idea?
i have question : when i import illustrator to AE and i have made the animation to all of them then i come back to illustrator i just add more layer then i come back to AE it's not update new layer i just add. How can i update what i have add to illustrator to appear in AE. Please make this tutorial thank you.
Tried this out and it doesn't seem to work. Every time I import it from AI to AE it imports as a PS file. I found a fix for that "right-click" the file and select "new comp from selection." After that my composition is black. Even as a PS file, my file is just black. If anyone has a workaround or tip, I'd appreciate it.
I feel like I've watched and repeated the steps to do this a million times and it still won't' import into AE correctly. It imports as a Photoshop file.
I don't understand why Adobe switched everything into these annoying sub groups. It worked MUCH BETTER as it originally worked and you didn't have to constantly pick apart your artwork to make it work with AE. No wonder Sketch and Figma told hold.
This is something that I knew much earlier in my video editing career, would have saved me some time. Hope it helps you as well.
There are a ton of over complicated tutorials about this on RUclips. Yours is cleary the most professional I've found. Thank you, Javier!
Thank you!
I've watched so many video this week about importing Illustrator files into After Effects. This is by far the best and most concise one. Thanks!
Omg I am sooo glad that I found your video! You literally saved me & my time. Thank you so much!❤️
Here to help Jagruti!
God, I´d forgotten some of those steps, brining it over to After Effects to Illustrator - Thanks man.
Great tutorial. I've been doing graphic design for 20 years now and so many clients (external or internal) expect graphic design creatives to be able to do motion graphics.
I'm glad I got a chance to see this before I dove into creating. This looks like a real time saver.
This is the only video that has been able to help me. Thank you so so much!
Thank you Stanky!

How can we retain the editability of the text? Text layers animators presets are different than shape layers.
This will save me a lot of time. Thank You
Glad it can help Sagum!

Thanks for this great tutorial! For some reason, when I convert to shape layer, the artwork is still blurry... any idea how I could fix that?

OMG, Quality content less views!!!😢
I feel like I've watched and repeated the steps to do this a million times and it still won't' import into AE correctly. It imports as a Photoshop file.
You should put the camera in a different place
Good vid but why are we watching you from heaven
Sorry., it's not working in After effect cs6
4:12 save you 4 minutes of your life
I don't understand why Adobe switched everything into these annoying sub groups. It worked MUCH BETTER as it originally worked and you didn't have to constantly pick apart your artwork to make it work with AE. No wonder Sketch and Figma told hold.
3 minutes in and I still don't see how to import adobe illustrator vectors into After Effects. Put a proper title on your video..

Thank you Javier.
