Hi,

When you import a "Large canvas size" Illustrator file to After Effects the illustrations are 10x smaller. Please fix this with an option like "Honor scale" in After Effects.

Why I want these Large canvas size Illustrator file in the first place? I create 2D explainer animations in Illustrator and animate them later in After Effects. Before the Large canvas option I was only able to create max. 15 artboards (the scenes of the animation) from 3840x2160 each in Illustrator. Now I can scale this up to more then 100 artboards, so I only need one Illustrator file in stead of a few for larger animations.

Thanks!

I'm importing PSDs with rotoscoped and affected video layers into After Effects. If one of the video layers in the PSD comes from a video file (in photoshop: Layers>Video Layers>New Video Layer From File.../or file>open and open a video file) and I try to import that PSD into After Effects I get any number of errors. See screenshots. If I remove the MP4/MOV layer in Photoshop and try to import then the error/bug doesn't happen.

Even if I save the PSD with video layer hidden I still get the errors.

I was able to reproduce these errors both on the current version and current BETA version in MacOS Catalina.

Dialogue box says "The Photoshop Library operation failed because Quicktime is not installed on this computer" Quicktime is obviously installed so that was not the issue, the issue was that After Effects produces a bug the PSD was links to an MP4.

When you try to do the same thing with a MOV file you get a similar error "After Effects error: Problem with the document. Missing Footage in the file. ( 39 :: 0 )"

With the second error all animation disappears. In After Effects the imported PSD is stuck at the frame the playhead in Photoshop instead of seeing animation.

This issue is related but incomplete explanation:

There's a few threads of discussion about this issue dating pretty far back:

Please make Photoshop Video Layers and After Effects play nice again, like in this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIUhyNAwcTs&feature=youtu.be , it gives us a world of possibilities.

I somehow was not having this issue a couple days ago, not sure what I did differently. Though I was getting errors in After Effects things worked as they should.

Thanks!!

Hi, feature request please. It would be great to improve the link between illustrator and after effects.
- It's actually impossible to get the path with stroke correctly from an illustator's shape layer : the brush is vectorized and we can't trim path it correctly in after effect.
- we still can't transform an ai text to a text layer in ae...
- the gradiant aren't available while creating shape layer from ai file
- it would be great to have the possibility to create bin in illustrator ( as already existing in photoshop) for conversion in AE (i mean one bin in illustrator would become a composition in AE).

Thank you for your time

You can right-click to add a property to the Essential Graphics panel. Great! But it always pulls up the last comp that was open for some reason—and you might not even remember which comp it was if you haven't opened the panel for quite a while. I can't see a use case where I'd ever want to add a property from one comp to another comp's Master Properties—especially as it throws an error.

Rather than going through all of that error checking and forcing me to first right-click to open the comp in the EG panel, when I use Add Property to Essential Graphics it should instead:

1. Open the EG panel.
2. Force the panel to load the current active comp.
3. Append the selected property.

This + being able to add from the effects panel would make Master Properties infinitely more usable.

I’ve posted before about earlier iterations of V17, since it was released. I and others have found there are serious performance issues in the Dynamic Link. Client templates created in Ae several versions ago and used continuously since, often do not appear or update in PPr when they are modified. Often the thumb will display in my account and library correctly in PPr as the modified version, but when it is opened on the PPr timeline, it displays the content of the previous template that had been deleted...
I updated to Ae v17.5 and PPr 14.5 last week. I had hoped this would have been a priority issue and fixed as the DL is a USP. But reliability is worse.
Apart from the issues reported - e.g. having to constantly purge the cache and keep resaving templates until the latest v opens correctly in PPr, now parts of a text will be missing when the template is opened in PPr. Updating the text box does not display the missing text. Worse, some of our templates that had worked across various iterations (and in earlier iterations of v17) are now opening as corrupt!
These problems have made working with the DL almost impossible. Yet, the DL is promoted as a USP, so Adobe needs to address this point seriously and as a matter of urgency to solve theSE problems.

Hey ,

it would be great if we could have some of the basic editing tools of a editing software directly in AE.
Why?

Because sometimes it's easier to just do the editing in AE and not going back and forth to PP CC.

What we need?
A Razor tool
( I know there is a shortcut, but sometimes its easier to just let the machine play and add the edits on the fly, cmd shift d)
Insert edit
Overwrite
Select all left right
replace edit
sync edit
ripple edit

would be great to have these tools natively.

I hope you all like these suggestions.

And I know AE is a composting tool. But for some interactions
it's very useful to have these tools .
