How to remove transparent edges around shapes?

Question

Hi, I imported files from Illustrator to After Effects and then I created shapes from them. Then I saw, that the edges of shapes are a little bit transparent and I donť want it. The background or another layer are shines through the edges.

How can I solve this problem, please?

PS: In Illustrator all the shapes are close together and there is no gap between them.

I thought I have a similar problem like here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/how-do-i-remove-thin-black-outline-arount-transparent-video/m-p/11196354#M114472

but it's not the same.

I agree with Mylenium. Prepare your Illustrator artwork for video by turning on Shap To Pixel and Make Pixel Perfect, then clean everything up. Video is pixels, so your vector artwork's hero position needs to be pixel-perfect if you want to avoid antialiased edges.

Make sure you need to convert vector layers to Shape layers. The only reason to ever do that is to use Shape Layer animators, actually edit or animate the vector paths, use a vector path as a motion path, or choose the 3D rendering options to extrude a layer. You lose gradients, brushes, and a bunch of other very useful Illustrator tools, and you increase render time by converting vector layers to shape layers.
