Hi Angela for the best workflow you possibly want to turn your vectors into AE shapes. You gain more control of the animation, and shape layers. One thing a person also has said to me is that a large complex heavy illustrator files converted into shapes will bog down after effects a lot. Also check out these resources: I’m sure your aware of the plugin from Battle Axe: Overlord, which aids you into bringing your vectors into after effects. Also on youtube search: The best Adobe Illustrator to After Effects workflow, for a very in depth analysis into this subject.

Thank you both for your brilliant solutions, this definitely places me at the end of the creating the script. For some reason I thought the label method, only applied to layer markers. Both these methods make it a lot more efficient in creating color hierarchies.

Hi Dan,
Thank you! This is a very clever solution to changing the the color of the icon on the null layer. Which would be an amazing alternative. But if possible is there a way to actually change color of the layers themselves on the timeline?

So I fixed it for now. But is there a way of properly setting the inPoint of the new null to match the current layer? I got it to match the duration, but can’t seem to target the null layer to set the inpoint.

Thank you Dan, will try to figure it from here

I’m going to take your diligent notes, and make something. Will report back. Thank you, thank you!

Both lovely answers. Thank you both! But Constantin very fascinated by your answer, could it be possible to see some logic used like this in context. The javascript used by the codebase is great, but not always predictable when it comes to writing it properly. If I could see an example I would overjoyed. Thank you.

Hi Dan, thank you so much for your aid. In trying it out I received an error: “Function Array is undefined.”
