I can't find a way to get SVG images into my composition. EPS is just drag and drop but SVG... I can't through any route.

I must be missing something.

Hi all,

The SVG import is now supported in After Effects 26.0. Here are more details: https://helpx.adobe.com/ie/after-effects/desktop/import-files/import-svg-files/import-svg-files.html

Thanks,

Nishu

Type supported file types in the search help field or type SVG in the search help field at the top right corner of AE and you'll come up with this: Still image file formats

Best option is to open in Illustrator and save as an AI file. Some limited types of SVG may work but generally it is not a supported format for video.

Wow. SVG not supported in 2016's Ae CC... Pretty crazy.

Thanks for the info though.

SVG for the most part is an HTML description of a graphic. It's not vectors, it's not pixels so it's not surprising to me that the AE team has not spent much time implementing that format while they are completely rewriting the rendering pipeline. I'd much rather have faster renders than SVG support at this time.
