Hi all - not sure if anyone here is ever tried this:
I'm attempting to import a layered image into Motion 2 from Illustrator (CS3) - importing as an AI file - tips via the following link
Apple - Pro - Techniques - Import Photoshop and Illustrator Files Into Motion (http://www.apple.com/pro/techniques/motionimport/)
Not having AE at hand at the moment. I'm instead using Motion for a test run animation...but I'm fast getting the impression this isn't going to work. The AI file I've imported has none of the original layers and has seemingly been flattened on import. On the other hand, importing them as PSD files worked much better but then the images have been rasterized - I've tried unchecking the Fixed Resolution option in the Media tab in Motion, but the vector images are pixellated on the slightest of 'zoom in'. It's all a bit of a mess to be fair. I've search engined this almost to death to little avail. Anybody here successfully manage to import a layered file from Illustrator into Motion?
Apologies if I've missed anything out - I'm working with the graphics guy on this as it's not really my 'arena'.
Cheers.
