Illustrator > After Effects - Color values change

[RAMaatman]

Hi,

I'm new to this community, please let me know if I overlooked anything 🙂

Recently I'm having issues with importing Illustrator files into After Effects, I've never had/noticed this before. I'm trying to solve this but I seem to overlook some settings.

Basically I'm importing a file from Illustrator into After Effects. When I convert the illustrator file I convert it into a shapelayer, after the converting is done I notice the color values change ever so slightly - From FF6B00(Illustrator) to FF5000. Both colors are incorrect if I compare them to the illustrator file. 

Settings:

Illustrator workspace: sRGB IEC61966-2.1

After Effects Workspace: sRGB IEC61966-2.1

Screen display profile: sRGB IEC61966-2.1

Please let me know if I overlooked anything.

Thanks in advance,

Ruben

Edit: I viewed my video in After Effects' viewer, in VLC and in Quicktime (on the right color profile)

Hi Ruben,

Thanks for reaching out. Would you mind sharing more details?

• Your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM and OS version.
• What is the version of After Effects and Illustrator you are using?
• Are you having this issue with a new file as well?

Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks,

NKush

Hi,

Thanks for your quick response.

Here are the details. 

OS: macOS Mojave 10.14.6

CPU: Intel i7 @ 2.6 GHz (6-core) (Mac doesn't specify which one)

GPU: Radeon Pro 555X (4GB Vram), Intel UHD Graphics 630 (1536MB Vram)

Version of After Effects: After Effects CC, 16.1.3 (build 5)

Version of Illustrator: Illustrator CC, 23.1.1

I tried recreating the issue with a clean file & a clean comp, the translation by after effects was correct. The colors seemed to be the same and after creating shape layers the color code stayed the same.

I decided to try & use my illustrator file in the clean after effects comp, in this test the illustrator colors got shifted again.   

Thanks once again,

Ruben
