One video that answers questions I have since 2009. Although I don't need it now but it does feel good knowing this. So shout out to Motion Design School for creating this. Appreciate the each line of helpful tips written and deliver by the charismatic host!
I never thought of giving Motion Graphics a go, up until this point! Inspirational! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this I recently graduated with my bachelor's in graphic design but this just shows you that you never stop learning even when you get your degree!

How can I get overload plugin? Pls
Motion Tools Script by Motion Design School has made my work so easy and efficient. Thanks man!
This video is pure gold. love you
I’m so glad I found your channel. Everything is sooo well explained! Subbed and liked. Thank you!
Very Good! Overlord is a must. You can also export elements directly from the Illustrator artboards by right-click and save them as PDF. This could fix some problems too. Also make shure your artboard is in RGB-Color to avoid most of the colorshifts that can occur.
awesome guys, thanks for sharing all this key information, really appreciate it
I'm so glad I clicked on this video. Will definitely check the overlord plugin 👍
The best tutorial on this topic, thank you!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad that I found this video tutorial, and that I know now I can rearrange the layers inside After Effects ^_^
Awesome! Very good explanation. Thank you so much for creating this video :)
Perfect! Thank you
Wow! Thanks a lot! This helped me so much! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I loved this class!!!
OH MY GOD! THANKS! That tip @ 4:00 is gonna change my motion design life. Never knew this was so easy. I wish I googled it instead of just assuming that's how it worked!

After Effects is full of such "small nuances"
thanks man, you help me so much !
super helpful. Great work!
Cool, I loved it
incredible tutorial! Thanks
Thank you for clearing up that you can just best use the 'create, create shapes from vector layer' approach.
Thank you so much! Great Tutorial ;)
I love this channel!
THIS IS THE BEST TUTOR EVERR
Great video, thanks! (And great plugins, bought both.) Question: Do you know of a 'quick & easy' way to import multiple Ai artboards as separate layers/comps in Ae?
Thanks lot for making this free learning content

Your Plugin Motion Tools is absolutely fantastic! In some cases Overlord is not convenient, and when I convert the layers inside AE they have this big border. The Remove Artbord feature is very useful to remove this big border!
That was so Awesome. Thank you Bro
Thank you! :)

Overlord is a MUST
So helpful :)
Hi: Thank you for a great tutorial, and to introduce those interesting tools that will make the workflow from illustrator quite easier. If I decide to export some illustrator files into After Effects, should I draw the artwork in RGB mode in illustrator? In that case, will I still be required to press the continuous rasterization button above the layers in After Effects?
Brilliant!
i downloaded. its works :)))
thank you. really
Very useful video!
GREAT VIDEO 👍
this is the best lecture
you saved my life
Thank you for this video tutorial. Very helpful indeed. What is the downside of working with shape layers instead of illustrator layers in AE in terms of processing speed? Overlord definitely is the greatest tool out there. Is there a way of avoiding system slowdown when working with shape layers for big projects? Any tips and tricks to tackle this issue would be highly appreciated.

Would love to see a comparison / conclusion on this topic. I know that loads of shape layers drastically reduce processing power, but then again so do (continuously rasterized) Ai Layers as they're 'continuously' refreshing vector data. But assume shape layers would act & result the same.. Though a single Ai layer of a vector texture would render a lot quicker than the same texture converted to a shape . Perhaps they are essentially identical only when they're continuously rasterized? Some clarity or conclusion would be great
Fantastic video

thanks for this. This convoluted process make you realise how out-of-date AfterEffects is as a technology (and most adobe apps actually!)
perfect
Thanks for making such wonderful tips. Actually, the free plugin which was mentioned is not free but 40$.
Awesome 👍
Well done

Nice tutorial. Just wondering if you guys can recommend a laptop for a smooth after effects / motion designs playback and fast render. I want to learn after effects and I need a machine to use for motion graphics and probably 3D. I'm thinking of getting the new 16in M1 Max MacBook. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks.
amazing
Thank you for this valuable video. When trying to convert vector layers to shape layers in AE, I get a message that says "Not all layers were converted because of empty or unsupported content". Any help on that? Thanks.
Awesome

Can After Effects import active layer effects from Illustrator, i.e. 3D Extrude and Bevel or opacity masks?
