  • Importing photoshop files into AE

    I am in the middle of authoring a DVD and I decided to try the whole transition thing. So I imported my photoshop file into AE to animate. When I did it, everything was spread out strangely and background images were in the foreground. Any idea what I need to do?

    Did you import your PSD file as footage or as a composition? If you imported as comp, what did you choose for the Footage Dimensions option? Choosing the Layer Size option there could throw things off, as it resizes each layer, which could affect their positions.

    If all you want to do is animate the whole menu image, import as footage.
