Be sure to set Import Footage to Composition and set the Footage Dimensions to Layer Size. Import your artwork into After Effects by choosing File>Import>File. Working in an organized way will make the animation process faster, making life much easier if you need to go back and change things later on. One important note: Make sure to set the layer structure correctly and always name your layers in a logical manner.
This workflow allows me to keep all the layers (as with Photoshop) and yields a much clearer and crisper result even when scaled up within After Effects. I always prepare my graphics in Illustrator, because of its vector qualities. If you’d like to download a finished movie for this tutorial, just click here. Then we’ll add the new CS4 Wiggle Transform operator combined with the Repeater to explore some fun and random animations. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to set up the popular “popping” animation effect with very little effort. There is usually a way to do what you want in AE if you think outside the box.Combining vector art and shapes inside After Effects can yield some great and unexpected results. If that happens you can add a stroke, then just turn the stroke off in the AE project. Sometimes AE is buggy creating shape layers from vector layers. Here's a zip file for you with both a CC and a CS6 project inside. If you use Trim Paths then you must have a straight tapered line and you have to set the right first vertex and then animate both start and end values to make the line start at the thinnest end and extend to the thickest end. If you use Offset Paths instead of Trim Paths then the line starts growing from the thinnest point and moves to the thinnest point. There are two ways to animate the creation of a tapered line. The way to do this is to start in Illustrator, create your tapered lines there, Expand appearance in Illustrator, then import as a comp in AE and convert vector layers to shapes.
