Hey,

You need to make sure that the Illustrator file is made in RGB mode and not CMYK.

Best-

Thanks, I had already checked and the error remains .. The AI files are all RGB

There’s no reason to go that far back. Your CC subscription includes all versions from CS6 onward and they can all be installed alongside each other. If you have to go back at all, I’d suggest the CC 2014 release.

That being said, CC 2017 should work fine for this. Can we see a screenshot of the import screen?

Thanks Michael,

I had a similar glitch the other day and had to jump back to CC2015 rectify it .. Have stuck with CS6 for years now as the CC stuff caused problems a while ago .. I know the project I’m currently working on doesn’t need any off the latest features so the easiest quick fix for me ..

I have used AE since its earliest days so something as basic as importing AI layered comps should just work ..
Any input is appreciated.

Here is the import screen shot –

I also tried ‘Footage Dimensions as Layer Size’

I meant the screen before you get to that one, sorry.

What do you get when you click on that Options button in the file selector?
