With the new 15.1.0 release, .ai illustrator files are extremely slow to import and load inside a project.  Anyone else experiencing this?

    The problem is not random. The files that are so slow are the files that are linked with images the other files work well. I cant believe that in 2018 this issue is still here!!!

    Hi JBrown321,

    Sorry to hear that you're having performance issues with .ai files.

    Does this happen with every Illustrator file?

    Let us know.

    Rameez,

    I am having issues with .ai files as well.  They import and load fine, it's the render that is the problem. When I render a comp AE crashes at the exact frame that any .ai file appears in my comp. I have to convert the .ai file to a .psd file for the comp to render.  Do you have any insight into this problem?
