BlendING Modes from Illustrator to AE

[AceLegacy]

I know this has been posted before here, but nothing I found solved my problem. How can I easily transfer an AI file to AE without losing the blending mode qualities of the layers?
This is a big setback for me.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Three words:  You can't. Sorry.

The best you can do is to replicate the look use blend modes in AE.

😞 No workarounds?

I'm working with over 40 layers and plenty of them have blend modes in the original AI file. How am I suppsoed to go around guessing which blend mode was used and adjust one by one?

AE only supports SOME Illustrator blend modes -- not all.  Not very handy for your project, but yes -- you are indeed forced to replicate the look of some Illustrator blend modes in AE.  Sorry.
