[@ithamarlowe6158]

This was and is the best video on importing your work from illustrator to aftereffects. You are amazing and just gained a new subscriber.

[@larshaukenfrers]

This channel needs way more recognition! Helped me out so much. Clearly and quickly explained👍

[@andrewp1513]

Thanks Jon. I finally decided to learn this stuff today, and I’m glad you’re the first video I’m seeing.

[@thirdeye4deebrain]

As soon as your video intro started, I thought "Yeah, this is the guy who's going to lead me into the promised land of Logo FX!" Thanks my friend, love your charisma and enthusiasm! You have a new subscriber 👍

[@JonJagsNee]

Thanks Charles :) Appreciate you joining the party! Hit me up if you ever have any questions!

[@n3lsonhamad]

Same here 😅,

[@ScottJeschke]

Thanks for a great video! I rewatch this literally every time I have a new AE animation

[@abdoodesign]

I am so glad that I find your channel bro, thanks a lot.

[@Motions_AP]

Love this! Side note: If you have any Illustrator based effects like drop shadows and gradient ramps, you'll ave to remove them first as they don't convert properly wen creating tape layers from AI layers in After Effects. And Yes, name your layers people! ^-^

[@neutronproductionsco]

Neither does it like a change in opacity!

[@chiarapanozzo6800]

so if you have some gradient effect you have to remove it and than re-do it in A.Effects ? Thank you if you can answer😉

[@callumgrimmer]

Finally a good video regarding this, cheers

[@anaschafik6109]

learned so much, thanks for posting.

[@n3lsonhamad]

I'm a motion graphics amateur, I use AE alot, Loved the article. Please, make a video to show how to animate layers in AE

[@lulubeloo]

Thanks, this helped a bunch! I mostly do frame by frame 2D animation, but when vector gets involved, I start seeing red. I hate vector with a passion.

[@JonJagsNee]

Me too, man…. Me too 😅

[@beewoonang5605]

Thanks Jon, this is exactly what I need to know to start doing my assignment.

[@dhankaniaryannarendra8504]

[@MrAodunlami]

Hey Jon Jags Nee, do you have a tutorial on logo animation? If not would you be willing to make one? I really enjoyed this one of found it very useful. Thanks.

[@HITPESIVADIYA]

Love your hair dude

[@derpderp9281]

At 2:35, release to layers (sequence), not sure if its an update but you no longer need to select every single object in your layer, just select the layer and then "release to layers" (I tried selecting everything and the option was blocked lol)

[@marceloaguirree]

Best video on the subject

[@andrewstanford639]

Thanks Jon, have a nice weekend.

[@nnikoleetnovak7059]

It's very good, but you should tell e.g: create null object with these keyboard combination... or you can change transparency here.. these are small things but they can be se helpful if you're a beginner :) Thank you. i can't wait the next video.

[@annaangold9922]

Had the same problem and looked it up: enter Command+Option+Shift+Y for Mac or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Y for Windows :)

[@ang_cs6284]

Hi! Thanks for the info. I want to learn more about preparing my files so a motion designer can use them. I would love to find a video that explains how to prepare the graphic design file (Illustrator/Photoshop) to hand out to a motion designer with all those tips and tricks of what works and what doesn't.

[@failfly1]

very helpful, thank you so much!

[@gokulmg1]

[@josearielortiz2055]

Can you shows how you managed to animate the Whalebird? I’m trying to make a character wave and change expressions and I’m kind of new to After Effects.

[@OmexavLifeztyle]

Do you have any videos of how I can keep the quality when working in illustrator and after effects

[@SgtDonovan]

Great video!

[@JonJagsNee]

Thanks man! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch it!

[@maxmagnus777]

So how do I get all the paths of the whale? I convert ai file to shape in AE and I can not access points of (as an example) a circle I converted.

[@nathanthorne4023]

Hold alt and shift and you center in place

[@SBCskitzo]

This video is amazing it has helped but you didnt get to the point of making another video showing how to actually animate the logo. Is there a video for that?

[@andrewstanford639]

Thanks Jon. Brilliant tutorial and you present the working method so clearly. What is your link for watching more tutorials please? really appreciate it thank you. Best Andy UK

[@JonJagsNee]

Thanks Andy! Much appreciated. Subscribing here would be the best way to stay up to date :)

[@learn1ngchannel]

Found your video.

[@andrewstanford639]

Hi Jon, have you done any simple videos where you animate a simple logo please? I'm new to Aftereffects and finding it quite difficult. Thanks Andy

[@JonJagsNee]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5uwcp-di5V5f5o bam! :D

[@teabagNBG]

[@JonJagsNee]

I don’t have a tutorial on it (yet) but look up image trace in illustrator! That should help 😊

[@teabagNBG]

@@JonJagsNee thx all good i just had to many shapes... i had to either split them or import them seperatly and edit them a lil bit all good :D

[@IsuruRandika]

You can WHALEBIRD to convert to editable text

[@aniqsufyan7722]

why my screen just pitch black, logo not showing?

[@AnkhManRaw]

Really nice vid. How do you create a null object?

[@JonJagsNee]

CTRL + Alt + Shift + Y OR go to Layer > New > Null Object :)

[@gagarinrout2034]

How much storage (file size) space does a 2D animation of 10 mins occupies ?

[@reiniskarolis1582]

thanks!

[@pixeldesert2775]

Good content bro. Liked it. Be friends

[@hardytvmalaysia5303]

thx

[@tressaburnett-testa5105]

THANK YOUUUU

[@kuroketsueki9059]

I imported my AI file into AE but it's all black and my logo is not showing. Help?

[@JonJagsNee]

AI and AE don't like to work with gradients so if your shape layers in AI have gradients on them, then the color won't transfer over and you'll have to rebuild it in AE :)

[@aronnangombe5654]

After i import the file all i see is a dark background

[@mathewngila4593]

what is null object

[@JonJagsNee]

press CTRL + Shift + Alt + Y It will create a null object. A null object is a layer in your after effects timeline that does not appear in your video or your art but you can use it as a tool to store data or control objects. You can use it to move many layers at once or act as a separate anchor point for an animation. I'll make a tutorial on this soon :) - Jags

[@derpderp9281]

the logo I'm animating has 60 layers 💀 thanks for the tips

[@semihsn489]

hey punisher

[@sagargajjar9843]

[@backyardchickenfarmer38]
