    Illustrator to After Effects

    Posted by Jamil Yamani on April 10, 2008 at 12:30 am

    Hi all

    I have some artwork that I am trying to copy and paste into AE CS3 from AI CS3. I am able to copy the paths but not the fills, ie into a Shape layer. Is there something I am doing wrong or is this not possible?

    I am trying to animate the stroke and the fill of my logo artwork and of course the colour fill information is very important.

    any help would be much appreciated

    Hi Dave

    Thanks I checked out those tutes but they when you paste paths from AI CS3 to AE CS3 the colour info dose not become pasted to the clipboard.

    I played around with it myself and found that I needed to copy and paste the paths to a shape layer.

    And also import the layer through the file import dialog…this part gets you the colour info.

    I then had to re-align the paths to the original artwork.

    It seems a bit silly not to be able to bring over the colour and the path info.

    Thanks again
