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

[@callumgrimmer]

Finally a good video regarding this, cheers

[@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)

[@dhankaniaryannarendra8504]

sir you're just to underrrated

[@abdoodesign]

[@HITPESIVADIYA]

Love your hair dude

[@marceloaguirree]

Best video on the subject

[@steffyromana1792]

Thank you this helped me 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😉

[@andrewstanford639]

Thanks Jon, have a nice weekend.

[@MrAodunlami]

Dude, you're the dopest! Thank you, brother.

[@MrAodunlami]

[@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 😅

[@juzual4251]

Thank You so much :) This helped me a lot.

[@ritik.designs]

You deserve alot more subs and likes. Very well explained!

[@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 :)

This was so helpful. Thank you so much!

[@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.

[@adeelazam4636]

How we can import stroke in after effects from illustrator?

[@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.

[@dutchgirl2]

learned so much, thanks for posting.

[@OmexavLifeztyle]

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

[@Glow0110]

Is there a follow up video to this that shows how to actually animate that logo once you did all this setup?! Thanks!

[@JonJagsNee]

Not this exactly but this was my follow up! kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5uwcp-di5V5f5o

[@nathanthorne4023]

Hold alt and shift and you center in place

[@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.

[@inst1tution]

Found your video.

[@reiniskarolis1582]

thanks!

[@IsuruRandika]

You can WHALEBIRD to convert to editable text

[@pixeldesert2775]

[@JonJagsNee]

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

[@tressaburnett-testa5105]

THANK YOUUUU

[@gagarinrout2034]

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

[@AnkhManRaw]

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

[@JonJagsNee]

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

[@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

[@hardytvmalaysia5303]

thx

[@aniqsufyan7722]

why my screen just pitch black, logo not showing?

[@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?

[@teabagNBG]

im having trouble with all of my illustrator files... they are all shapes no paths... if i import them into after effects i often get weird results with empty spaces inside.... whats the best way to create illustraor a file for after effects? nevermind i keept watching and exactly saw what was causing my problem ... thanks :D i subscribed

[@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

[@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

[@backyardchickenfarmer38]

your video is missing animation process..

[@sagargajjar9843]

Sorry. it's not work in After effect cs6

[@GonselFly]

In the thumbnail, I thought she's a girl. Hehe

[@isramelaek931]

[@superhacker35]

the align panel is literally right there, why are you spending two minutes trying to center it by eye?
