In this video, I show how to set up Illustrator artwork to be imported into After Effects as well as walk you through the entire process. #2 which uses Overlord, will blow your mind!
I'll show you the most common ways to do this, and 1 super useful, lesser-known method that will change the way you work between After Effects and Illustrator forever. Unless you are preparing all the artwork yourself inside of After Effects, chances are you'll be working with an illustrator who has created all the art in Adobe Illustrator. Also by doing this, you'll learn a little bit more about how Illustrator works.
