  • Importing Illustrator CS4 files into AE

    Has anybody had issues with elements created in Illustrator CS4 importing into AE the size of the artboard rather than the object size? Is there a setting in Illustrator that has changed from past version that I’m missing? Note that this only happens when I have one layer or when I import as merged footage.

    I can import as a composition with cropped layers fine. Elements created in Illlustrator CS3 come in cropped, but if I open them up in CS4 and do a straight save they import the size of the artboard. Also, I can save as a .eps in CS4 and objects import fine. Thanks in advance for any info.

    HI DANIEL,
    I just edit the artboards prior to importing the .AI into AE. Got to Document Setup, then edit artboards in Illustrator.

    Hope that helps
