  • Newbie Illustrator question RE: Shapes and transparency

    This should be so easy but I can’t figure it out.

    Say you are making a box that you want to cut a hole out of in the middle so it is transparent to use in after effects. I want the border of the box to be a certain colour but the middle to be see-through so i can have images playing in the transparent part. I know it has something to do with making a path but once I make the square, I can’t seem to erase the circle-part that I want transparent.
