    If you cant release the layers as shown, do not toggle select all layers and release to sequence, it yields no result. Instead, just select (highlight) the main layer and release. This is what worked for me.

    So these are two ways to import - one by importing layers from an illustrator file and converting them to shapes, and another is by importing PNG files? But there's also the option of retaining the layers from the illustrator file, with the added benefit of being able to update the Adobe Illustrator file and having layer colors in After Effects update, for example.

    If we start off our Adobe illustrator file creating each assets on different layers from the beginning, do we still have to release to layers sequence if we already had everything set up on different layers and not underneath one? just wondering thanks!

    Help!!! I'm following step by step, but when it exports assets, it does it as a folder called "1x" instead of a .ai file. Also, I've renamed the released layers but the asset export thingy doesn't pick it up and registers as "asset 20, asset 21" and such

      @@usuariogoogle2264 yup, turns out, he does the exporting thing one by one for complicated projects, so you can rearrange them yourself. The better way to solve it that I found is to export it from illustrator as a .ai file and then open that in AE. You can insert the 1x file too, but it won’t be arranged exactly like your AI project

    When I import the .ai into ae, it creates exactly a single layer. All the assets in the export folder are ignored. Unfortunately, the clip does not explain how the .ai file is created so that it links the data from the asset folder individually.

      Lot os possibilities are there. Please check the scale value in after effects.
      Maybe Your illustrator shapes Size is higher than the After effects composition size.

      @MindIslandDesign  6 місяців тому

      Yeah, the first step is preparing your illustrator vector file to be imported, the second method is exporting and importing raster files (jpg, png)
