First and formost I absolutely love all of your content and this channel. Easily the best of the best. Also want to add that it’s amazing to see how you so professionally talk around the bugs and shortcomings of software from a multi-billion dollar company like Adobe without so much as one little negative complaint. Such as importing vector into AE and having to convert it back to vector. Which brings me to the point, that I so hope you’re being reached out to by Webflow to help advance the platform and integrate fixes and wishes. In my opinion you know Webflow better than they do probably. Keep up the great work and attitude!
Great tutorial! You mentioned not being able to export gradients from AI for accessibility, wondering what the process would be to incorporate gradients into a lottie file?
Thank you! There's been a lot of issues with importing Illustrator gradients into After Effects. Usually you don't see any problems until you upload the Lottie to Webflow. To get around this, we've imported solid color vectors into After Effects and added the gradients in After Effects itself. It can get tedious if you have a lot of shapes, but it works a lot better in Webflow.
Absolutely amazing tutorial, thanks for making this! Just curious, is there a way to do this outside of After Effects (say, in Blender)? I try my best to avoid that CC subscription at all costs.
Lol, what was the point of creating a shape in illustrator, and then coming back to after effects and redrawing the whole process. By just duplicating the same AI file, increase the scale, apply the trim paths and simply use it as matte.
Man, you should do a tutorial that teaches other TH-camrs to do better tutorials. This was so helpful and on point, thank you!!
This tutorial is phenomenal. Thank you.
Thanks so much!
So quick yet so detailed. I can do the rest! thanks man!!!

Thanks for the video, Tim! Breaking into AE and excited to start creating lotties for projects.
Looking forward to this one!
Thanks man!
Thank you so much! Love your channel! Keep up the great work 🔥🔥
Thank you once again. :)

In After effect, after importing the Ai file just select the layer and go to layer > trace
Great to know! Thank you!

why soo lateeeee video man....... Love your videos
Thank you! Took a break for Christmas
Do you know which lottie alternative is compatible withCC Effects?
FYI...If your Lottie contains vectors you don't need to worry about scale. Nothing will pixelate at any size.
Yeah, I agree! It’s only in after effects that it looks pixelated and is hard to work with at smaller sizes. But on export, it’s clear
I am early. 360p Pog

Can I hire you on a project basis?
Thanks so much for asking! I’m not currently taking on new projects but will definitely announce it if anything changes.
