illustrator to AE file: putting objects on a seperate layer, not grouped or in a folder?
Hello!
I just received an illustrator file from a client that has 100’s of little un-grouped dots, but the 100’s dots are on one layer (can see the layers when I twirl down the arrow) . IS there a way to import them into AE as separate layers/dots so that I don’t have to separate 100’s of dots to their own layer by hand in Illustrator to import to AE? I need to be able to animate each little dot (god help me!).
When I try to import them as composition_cropped layers, or sequenced layers they come in flattened on one layer.
Thank you!

to save you a bit of time in ai… select all your illustrator paths, then choose ‘release to layers (sequence)’ from the layers palette menu (little triangle in the corner). then you will need to select the layers that are contained within the parent layer and drag them out and delet the parent layer.
now you can import as comp in ae.
