Animating Artwork from Adobe Illustrator in After Effects - AE Fundamentals 

Thank you for pointing out common mistakes before doing it the right way. I was really confused that I didn't even know where to begin my questions, but now it's all clear. I think you're a really great tutor who's not only skilled, but also empathetic & understanding of their students.

I am only 10 minutes into the video and it has been the MOST helpful explanation to a whole set of other videos to include the Adobe ones. Thank youuuuuu and now, I will continue watching. ...SO helpful!!!

you have an amazing way of explaining things. the wrong examples helps understand exactly where we are going wrong. one of the best tutorials i have ever seen ❤

I will definitely check out your other videos!! The instructions you give are perfect, not too much detail, but not too little so your not lost. I find most video are too fast and don't explain enough or go into so much detail I loose interest and move on. Thanks!

So systematic ✅5 minutes into the video and I wanna say thank you❤. Sincerely, a video editor from Kenya

You have explained each thing very properly.. Thanks

i like the way you explain plus occasionally previewing the finished product, with the animation, of course:) reminding me what the actual finished product is really like. Thanks..and i like your smile too!

Hi, I'm a Brazilian editor and this video helped me a lot, thank you 🧠🙏

Thank you for posting this! Even though I’ve been using AE for awhile, I even bought Overlord to work back and forth between Ai and AE. I’m so glad I stumbled upon your channel, you help me understand how AE better.

a lot of thanks for making and sharin your video!!

Thanx

such a cool tutorial, the voice is smoothing like a butter with extra cheese

Thanks so much for revealing this workflow! Very informative and simple. And its just crazy how AI and AE are not working back and forth correctly and intuitive. Adobe has something to do with it.

this video is what i was looking for, complete step by step approach. Great work :)

Fabulously done! This has saved me hours of work. Thank you so much!!

Thank you !

EVERYTHING I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR IN ONE VIDEO THANK YOU SO MUCH

Great video, you explain things beautifully. thanks for creating this content for all us noobs out there :)

Great tutorial! Really nice explaining. Thanks a lot! :)

Thanks!!

great video.. learned a lot

Your tutorials are amazing!

Thank you.

Really good explanation. My goal is to create a diagram in Illustrator and animate paths etc. in After Effects. This video has given me confidence to have a go now.

You are the best!

the way of explanation is awsm🔥

Wonderfully explained. Surprised that these videos don't have enough views/likes.

This is incredibly helpful. Thanks for posting! Blows my mind that Illustrator and AE work so poorly with each other.

Thank you Megan ,This was Awesome ,The best After effects course on YT🙏🙏🙏

LIFESAVER 😢😊

Hello! I’m really glad I found your videos!!! ❤️ I love it! Is it possible to do the same video but for preparing a character for animation on AI to AE..with the rounds on every single joints..Probably I am talking about the Rigging preparation. Thanks a lot in advance! 🙈🙈❤️

Thank you. I wish my trainer had taught this. I wouldn't have wasted time on my project. I eventually found out, my mistake, but wasted too much time.

this is very helpful. continue sharing your amazing and helpful videos. 💪

Wow, what a really fantasticly clear tutorial of how to do this. Top class, LIKED AND SUBBED. Thank you so much, keep up the great work. Oh, Curiosity, what software tools are you using for you video creation - can you share. Thank you again.

Hi Megan, Thank you for these informative videos. My issue is, after importing a file from illustrator, the duration becomes very very short. Please what could be the issue?

Hi! Thank you for such a valuable effort here. I've been lately incorporating animation and motion graphics into my offer. I'm having kind of an issue: When designing my compositions with the native shape builder in AE (which allow me to animate more specific properties of each element right from the start) instead of dynamic linking files from AI, I sometimes get pixelated artwork when nesting precomps into bigger compositions and doing camera panning. I've triple checked my camera focal length is matching the layer I want to focus on, as well as having the "continously rasterize" toggle on (which is defaulted to always on btw when I make shapes on AE don't know why). Still don't seem to be able to solve this pixelating issue. SO, (and sorry for the lengthy comment) I thought therin came the relevance of making the artwork first on AI and the importing over to AE, but what would be the point of that if later we're turning those layers into native shapes? I would've thought having those linked to a vector layer back in AI was the only way AE could refer to any vecto information when doing that continous rasterizing. So is that info lost when creating shapes from vector layer in AE? I'm sure I'm probably not approaching this matter the best way, any advice would be truly appreciated. Thank you for this excellent channel, subscriber for life.

Hi Megan, your video is really helpful, I'd like to try the overlord plugin but the coupon link doesn't seem to apply any discount, even when I input the "explanimated" coupon code at checkout. Is it still valid by any chance ? many thanks

Is there any plugin to create separate layer in AI for AE (because this process take too much time)

I have this assignment where I can choose to do frame by frame or vector animation. I love the clean style of vector, but seems like it takes triple the amount of time to animate compared to frame by frame.
