How can we improve After Effects?

Import a "Large canvas size" Illustrator file to After Effects

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 often get storyboard art with multiple artboards. I have to save each one out individually instead of exporting them all at once. Takes a huge amount of time. Anything you can do to allow after effects to honor scale would be great.

    I just ran into this issue. It took me an hour to figure out what was going on. Absolutely needs to be fixed.
