Layers Chopped Off after import from Ai to AE
I am having an issue where my layers are getting chopped off. I am running Ai and AE in CS5. I brought the layers into my AE composition and it worked perfectly fine at first. They after spending countless hours on my motion graphic I decided that I wanted to add more detail to my artwork. After doing this several of my layers got chopped off when I reloaded the layers. This is extremely frustrating and I am scared I will have to start ALL over again. Any ideas?

In Illustrator you can adjust the Artboard size to make sure it accommodates all of the image before importing into AE. Select the Artboard tool, click on the Artboard and either resize it manually to fit around the image, or enter numeric values.
To avoid this happening in the future you can use the Preset artboard sizes as templates when designing your artwork.
Hope this helps.
cheers,

No I dont think it is either of these things. All of the artwork is inside the document as well as the artboard (which I a only using one of). I even went so far as to create a completely new document with just the one layer that is getting cut off in it and this did not help at all either.. UGH sooo frustrating. Any other advice you can think of?

I had that problem, too. Searched high and low and tried various supposed fixes. None worked until I stumbled upon the suggestion to add a stroke around the object that is truncating. It worked. It came into After Effects whole again. Hope this helps someone. (working in CS5, btw)
