Very good tutorial. The only problem with this technic, is that you can’t have a multi-color background. The background has to be the same color has the pen strock.

Thanks for posting a great tip. I suppose this is a workaround, however the point of taking the illustrator document to Motion is to keep it Vector. This as not possible as yet. However your post will enable people to use layers from illustrator as bitmap.

By the way maybe next week, Tuesday we will have a little bit more luck as Final Cut Studio 3 is suppose to come out. Who know what new features Motion 4 will have.

Many thanks for posting this link.

Hi Zak!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You said that there is no way of getting Illustrator layers to Motion. To save time you could do a work-around.

• Export your Illustrator-file with layers as a Photoshop file (with layers) from the export-menue.
You will lose the scalability but have all the layers.

There are just some things to take care of. See layersmagazine: http://www.layersmagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2606

All the best from Vienna,
Rene
