About the video: From Adobe Illustrator to After Effects
Overview
“Now that I've briefly shown you how to navigate the software and you have the two poses designed, as well as an understanding of how the transition will happen, let's progress to the next stage. In this lesson, I will talk about the process of transferring vector shapes from Adobe Illustrator into After Effects. Although there are third-party tools you can use to facilitate this process, for the purpose of this course, I encourage you to take advantage of the minimalistic and geometric approach to do it the manual way. This way, you can use this as an opportunity to sample the best practices when organizing complex Shape Layers. Developing a core understanding of After Effects will stand you in good stead for future projects. ”
In this video lesson Santiago Avila addresses the topic: From Adobe Illustrator to After Effects, which is part of the Domestika online course: Design and Animation of Playful Supercuts in After Effects.
