Bonjour, je souhaite importer un tracé Illustrator CC non vectorisé en contour dans After Effects CC, mais quand  je le transforme en calque de forme il apparaît en "fonds" et non pas en "contours". J'ai besoin de contours pour une animation raccorder les tracés. Comment faire ? Merci.

Hello, I want to import a non-vectorised Illustrator CC path in After Effects CC, but when I transform it into a shape layer it appears in "backgrounds" and not in "outlines". I need outlines for an animation to connect the tracks. How to do ? Thank you.

    I'm not clear what you are realyl expecting. The function works as advertised. Shape layers cannot contain pixel elements and AE has no magic way of vectorizing pixel data in AI files. You have to do the necessary preparations in AI already. Your whole workflow is crooked.

    Sorry if it wasn't clear : I have a shape created in illustrator, which is in "outlines", I didn't vectorize it (see image)

    I imported it in After Effects and did right click > convert to shape (my Adobe is in French so sorry if it is unclear)

    then when it's done I have a shape composed of backgrounds, not outlines like it should be...

    And when it's like this I can't do the path animation correctly...

    So I either want to import my shape in outlines layers, either find a "clean" way to animate it like the illustration is drawn.

    I hope you can help me with this.

    Thanks

    It still seems to me you simply don't understand how shape layers and things like fills, strokes and the trim paths option work and frankly playing coy with us and zooming into your design infinitely to hide its content is not useful. I would suggest you start digging into your shape layer paths and organize them properly into groups. It really might not hurt for you to watch some tutorials on this stuff.
