I have 200 layers in Illustrator CS6. I have another set of the same layers but where basic attributes (position, scale) have changed.
Is there a way to import these two "states" into After Effects CS6 so that I end up with 200 layers animating from state 1 to state 2?
I have tried the following steps with 4 layers, and it seemed to work.
your-filename-1.ai and the file with the state 2 set your-filename-2.ai. Make sure they are in the same folderFile -> Import -> File... and click your-filename-1.ai. Make sure the checkmark is checked as shown below:
To keep all the individual layers, set Import As: to Composition.
3. Now you will have a composition in your project panel named your-filename and a folder named your-filename Layers that contains all the layers.
5. Now you can open the composition and check Frame Blending -> Frame Mix for every layer that you want to tween.
6. Don't forget to enable frame blending. The image below shows how to do this:
Now you have an animation from state 1 to state 2. To change the animation playback speed you can use time-stretching on a layer-per-layer basis.
