instead you get a grey fill and you can if you want set a gradient fill through the adding it under content-> add -> gradient fill. Now, if you do want to convert an illustrator art to shape bare in mind that gradients don't pass through. so firstly you should think how do you want to animate it and if it's even necessary to go through this. I am asking this because usually for text you don't convert to shapes but use the text as a live text in Ae (which means you need the original font) and that too is only for certain animation. the only reason to convert an illustrator art to shape is if you are planning to animate the path (morph the shape itself, not scale/rotation/ position that you can do with transform properties) or use a shape operator that does certain things similarly to some illustrator effects (only this time with the ability to apply animation). The first thing you should ask yourself (if you haven't already) is: do you really need to convert the illustrator art to a shape?. When I've brought it over the layers aren't bringing over the characteristics I'd made them with in Ai I have a gradient fill over the text with a thin outline stroke - when I imported it, it looks fine but when I convert to shape from vector layer so I can use it for effects it creates loads of groups and paths which is unusable and the gradient is lost, making it just a single fill. Any help to either convert the text correctly or get the same fonts into Ae as Ai would be greatly appreciated!
I tried to make the text layer within Ae to get around this, but it doesn't have the same fonts installed and I'm struggling to find a way around this. When I made it in Ai, I've used the font Monotype Corsiva, and separated all of the parts of the logo into separate layers for working in Ae, however, when I've brought it over the layers aren't bringing over the characteristics I'd made them with in Ai I have a gradient fill over the text with a thin outline stroke - when I imported it, it looks fine but when I convert to shape from vector layer so I can use it for effects it creates loads of groups and paths which is unusable and the gradient is lost, making it just a single fill.
I have designed a logo in Illustrator and am trying to work with it in After Effects.
Please excuse me, I'm a rookie with Adobe - I've tried looking around on Google and the forums to answer this but seem to be finding slightly different things.
