. Don't update the AI Illustrator files in After Effects

CC Yes after effects 2014 (and perhaps older versions?) had a feature that I really liked where if you have imported an illustrator (.ai) file into After Effects, you can change this file in Illustrator without having to re - import the file back into After Effects. The image would automatically update.

I use CC AE 2015 and Illustrator CS5.1 and this method does not work. The illustrator file to update or change, even when I reload the film or purge the memory of the software. Also, I rebooted my computer for fun, but that did not work. This functionality has changed in 2015 After effects version? Y at - there a step I'm missing?

Here is my example. I want this red screw to have fewer teeth, so I deleted my teeth in Illustrator up to five:

illustrator.jpg

After this change and in saving it, nothing changes in After Effects. He holds the stick to the old version of the screw, which has about nine teeth:

It could refer to a preview stored in the cache, serving and see if that makes a difference.

  • Is it possible to scale of the Illustrator files in After Effects and maintain the quality of vector?

    I imported an Illustrator file in my project After Effects and scaling of the file have 200%, but noticed it's pixelated.  Is there a way to keep the vector file based within After Effects.

    Note: I tried to use the "create forms of vector layer" and all paths will be displayed, but the background and outline colors disappear?

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Of course: select rasterize the layer switch continuously.  Looks a bit Sun with the Sun said on this subject.  If your layer is truly vector - not only a bitmap passed Illustrator - the edges will look great.

  • Don't update the dynamic links

    Does anyone else have problems with Premiere Pro not updated CC dynamics related comps? There is a refresh button for your related compositions so that they reflect changes in sequels. The only solution I found is closing and reopening the project in first and who does about 30 percent of the time

    I think that I thought about it. For some reason, first runs into problems when you try to "replace with After Effects Composition" on a particular item. Usually first runs After Effects for me, and I will begin creating the project in After Effects from there. The video is fine in After Effects, but I usually end up getting some sort of importing generic error in the first. Nevertheless, I continued to build my compositions in this project After Effects thinking that nothing was, of course, no compositions I'd end up building seems at first... until I rebooted first... for every change I made in After Effects to fill.

    The solution: make sure that you have already opened After effects and have created a project when you go to 'replace with After Effects Composition. Dynamic link is now able to synchronize the two programs. Similarly, I tried to restart and open the project again without having to After Effects open, I replaced with After Effects Composition and it seems to work fine... almost as if it has returned to its original state. Really weird.

  • Saving files from After Effects to CC for use on other machines.

    I am very very new to After Effects, so I'm sure there is a simple solution to my question.  I recently attempted to save a file from After Effects on Dropbox to transfer easily to another machine, however when I went to open this file on the new machine, several documents in the file, it was missing (png, fonts, scripts etc...).  I suspected that the reason for it is because the png and the fonts were used by AE as they were stored on the original machines and have not actually imported (or copied) in the AE file, so when I went to open the file on the computer again the files were missing that they were not installed on the new machine (is this correct?).  If I record the creative cloud AE files will be I experience this problem? I'll be able to open the AE files on another computer that does not have fonts reference, PNG, jpeg etc. available?

    Thank you

    Yes, AE projects contain only references to external resources. That's why you should pack in full e.g. usind the option collect files. The procedures do not differ to any method that you use, so you better get used to and organize your work in a way so it can be transferred easily.
