I am trying to do a simple thing and that is import an AI file that contains layers. When I import into After Effects I get the new Comp and I see just one AI file icon. I can't figure out why my layers are not coming in.

Anyone got some ideas?

Also, make sure your layers aren't actually sub-layers of one main one! when importing ai into inDesign, only the main ai layers show up!

are you making sure that you're not importing as footage? Also, is your atwork all on one layer in the AI file?

I have made sure that I was selecting import as Comp or Comp + Layers. My AI file is all layers. I made sure that they are released. I even pasted my work into a different AI file altogether and I am still not getting the layers to import. Really frustrating.

Hmm, well after the layer release it's set up right, though your top grab will definitely bring in only one layer... But the second one looks right... Try creating 3 new layers and copy and pasting the artowrk onto each layer...

Still not working. I am really shocked at this. I just tried on another computer and I am still having the same problem.
