Loading layered AI file into AE help

[craz63]

Hi!

I am struggling with seeing my ai logo in AE after importing. I successfully imported my ai file into AE and can see all the layers in the bottom left panel. But in my main compoistion panel, it turns black and I can't see or edit any of the vector drawings I made. 

I think this is something to do with it being enlarged? I don't know how to fix it so I can start editing and animating. Any help is appreciated!

Let's move this to the After Effects forum, where I think you're more likely to get an answer for your question. If Illustrator is a better choice, someone else will move it along.

You have not activated the transparency background on the composition panel, is black like your logo. This is why you can't see it. Create a new layer (Layer > New > Solid), activate the background transparency or enter into your composition settings (Composition > Composition settings) to change the background color.
