Learn about importing multi-layered Illustrator files to After Effects.
- [Instructor] In this chapter,…we'll discuss the preparation steps…you should be aware of when animating a multilayered…illustrator file inside After Effects.…Luckily, After Effects and Illustrator…work very nicely together.…After Effects can read Illustrator layers natively…and can also maintain their vector quality…as well as convert them to its own native vector shapes.…By the way, this design was created by Tomer Jerry…and it is taken from another course…that I have here in the library…and the name of it is "Social Tech Infographics."…If you want to understand the context…of this design, you can check out this course…where, among other things, you will learn how to approach…complex motion graphics projects.…
All right, but I'm going to use this document…in order to explain how to import a multilayered file…from Illustrator to After Effects.…The first and the most important stuff…is you need to divide the individual elements to layers,…meaning that if you want to animate these objects,…and I'm going to open up everything that we are seeing…
