Importing Illustrator layers:
- After Effects does not recognize Illustrator sublayers as individual layers. In order to import separate layers from Illustrator, make sure you create a new layer for every independent element.
- After Effects has a slightly different importing menu for Illustrator files than for Photoshop files, though the options remain the same:
- Choose footage or composition from the top of the menu
- Choose document size or layer size from the bottom of the menu
- You can also choose to import an individual layer
Working with Vector Files (Illustrator) — Continuously Rasterize
In order for vector files (files you import from illustrator as well as assets you create directly in After Effects) to maintain sharp edges when scaling above 100%, make sure to turn on the Continuously Rasterize switch.
