Hi guys

I have several art boards in one ai file and have saved then as separate projects. I have separated the layers in each separated illustrator project and exported it as an ai file. I am struggling to import illustrator files into after effects...Firstly it doesn't import them as separated layers to animate and second it doesn't open the file I saved it as. It opens the same project every time even if I import a different ai project altogether. On import I tick the composition retain layer sizes option ...

Please help

    It's very hard to decipher what's going on from this description.  Is it possible to post a copy of the Illustrator file in question?  I'm happy to assess it for you.

    I don't how to post the pics and write...The above pic is the different art boards I separated into saved as single ai projects.

    Below is a one of the single projects I have saved from the above large ai file above

    As you can see I have separated all the art work onto their own separate layer. As you can see I have all the separated and importing the exact project saved from ai.

    Below is a pic from what is imported into after effects and as you can see it isn't the same project and even I I try to import a different project I get the same project imported

    Any help will be appreciated
