Convert groups to layers for easy animation in After Effects.
- We've already seen that Aftereffects supports layers…that were defined in the Illustrator document.…But I haven't showed you how to create those layers…when you design your artwork inside Illustrator.…So in this movie I'll call your attention…to a command that will help you to…split objects in groups to layers.…This way you can access them very easily…in the animation stage.…So just to illustrate what I mean…I'm going to use the same ducoument,…the smartphones.ai, I've modified the lines…of the those satellites in the previous movie.…
So I'm just going to use this version.…Note that I switched off the visibility…for the more icons layer and I'm going to save…this document and now I'm going to switch to Afteffects…and I'm going to double click in order to import it.…As before I'm going to choose to import it as a composition…and I'm going to use the layer…size and the footage dimensions.…I'm going to say OK, double click over here,…and obviously we have access to satellites number one…and satellites number two but these are different groups.…
