You just need to change the artboard fill to transparent. Go to Artboard Options and switch the fill from white to transparent.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about the issue. I opened the After Effects project you shared but I can't see the issue. Probably because the .Ai file is missing. You can upload the Illustrator file to a cloud (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc) and share the download link here or in my DM.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,
Nishu

I'm happy to hear that. I checked the file on my side and I noticed the same problem. But when I copied the artwork to a new file in Illustrator and saved it, it worked fine in After Effects. I think there is an issue with the Illustrator file. Where did you get it? Did you make it yourself? If so, which version of Illustrator did you use?

Tell me what you find out.

Thanks,
Nishu
