Layers from Ai to AE

[Serge Hamad]

Hi Nate,

Either you didn’t select, drag and drop your sequenced layers on top of your main IL layer or you didn’t select the “Composition” or “Composition cropped Layers” option in the Import File window.

Does this help?

Salut.
Serge

Where do I select drag and Drop layers on original IL ? because even when I choose composition or composition cropped when I drag it down into my time line its still just one layer.

In IL when you click on the Release To Layers (Sequence) IL should create a layer for each path you created in layer 1 for instance.

You should then select the new created layers and drag and drop them on top of layer 1 in the layers window.

let us know if you are still stuck.

Salut.

BTW. What version of AE and IL are you using?

I am asking because saving a CS3 IL file and opening it in AE 7.0 for instance would not allow you to see more then one layer even when you use the Import As Composition feature.
