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 👍
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! ^-^
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.
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)
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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 :)
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
This was and is the best video on importing your work from illustrator to aftereffects. You are amazing and just gained a new subscriber.
This channel needs way more recognition! Helped me out so much. Clearly and quickly explained👍
Thanks Jon. I finally decided to learn this stuff today, and I’m glad you’re the first video I’m seeing.

Same here 😅,
Finally a good video regarding this, cheers
I am so glad that I find your channel bro, thanks a lot.
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! ^-^
Neither does it like a change in opacity!
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😉
Thanks for a great video! I rewatch this literally every time I have a new AE animation
sir you're just to underrrated
learned so much, thanks for posting.
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
Thanks Jon, this is exactly what I need to know to start doing my assignment.
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.
Me too, man…. Me too 😅

Is there a follow up video to this that shows how to actually animate that logo once you did all this setup?! Thanks!
Not this exactly but this was my follow up!

@@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
Really nice vid. How do you create a null object?
CTRL + Alt + Shift + Y OR go to Layer > New > Null Object :)
Hold alt and shift and you center in place
thanks!
You can WHALEBIRD to convert to editable text
THANK YOUUUU

Thanks Andy! Much appreciated. Subscribing here would be the best way to stay up to date :)
How we can import stroke in after effects from illustrator?
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.
thx
How much storage (file size) space does a 2D animation of 10 mins occupies ?
why my screen just pitch black, logo not showing?
the logo I'm animating has 60 layers 💀
thanks for the tips
I imported my AI file into AE but it's all black and my logo is not showing. Help?
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 :)
After i import the file all i see is a dark background
hey punisher
what is null object
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 :)
