I looked at the settings– the “Disable Thumbnails in Project Panel” was not checked by me. On the first try I ticked it on out of curiosity to see what would happen, and my illustrator layers “disappeared” on my comp viewer panel instantaneously. I un-checked the Disable Thumbnails after that but nothing returned visible. I restarted AE after that, reloaded the Illustrator footage in my project panel, then played with the Disable Thumbnails and second time round it didn’t seem to faze the illustrator files.

Hopefully that info is of some use!

Thanks for the suggestion. I gave the update a try, but it didn’t change the problem.

It seems to be linked to the resolution setting I choose– if I close AE with my footage at half res in the comp viewer, when I re-open AE it is only the half res that the illustrator images have “disappeared.”

I’ll have to try a test render and see if anything squirrelly is transferring over there too!
