  • Problem with importing Illustrator to AE CS3

    Posted by Amit Zinman on June 11, 2008 at 7:08 am

    I get multiple errors after importing Illustrator and opening it as comp in AE CS3. I tried to resize it to 25 percent in Illustrator, but still get these:
    After Effects: not enough memory to create COR_BibAlloc.
    64K requestd, 64958K available.
    Obviously something is wrong.
    Can I import Illustrator into photoshop and keep the layers?

    Have you tried saving your .ai file at a later format? Sometimes when I save the file as an Illustrator 8 file things are fine… depending on what you have in your file. Also, you may be referencing other imagery with the .ai file…

    answering just to your last question (and assuming you didn’t write photoshop by mistake having AE in mind) Can I import Illustrator into photoshop and keep the layers?:

    yes you can, you need to export you illustrator file as a .psd document, the on the options you’ll be prompted with click on write layers and click the maximum editability box too. now you can open you file in photoshop which each layer that you generated in illustrator as a separate layer in photoshop.
