I'm trying to use the new import illustrator SVG from clipboard feature in Beta, after pasting one object into after effects it keeps pasting in the same shape even when i copy next shapes in illustrator. To fix it i have to purge all memory in after effects and then i can keep pasting more shapes/SVGs from illustrator into after effects. So after each shape i have to purge, otherwise it keeps pasting the same thing

    Hi there,


    Thanks for reporting the issue. I'll send the feedback forward.

    Before I escalate this to the team, a few details that will help engineering reproduce and fix it:

    1. Which exact Beta build of After Effects are you on? (Help > About After Effects). Beta builds change frequently, so the specific version number matters.

    2. Which version of Illustrator are you copying from? Is it also the Beta build or release?

    3. What's your OS and version (Windows or macOS, exact version)?


    Best,

    NIshu
