AE, and AI don't play nice, and they never will because Adobe is incompetent when it comes to workflow.
If you want to a AI path to be copied into AE as a mask, simply copy and paste the path. It should create a mask for you automatically.
In terms of AI layers, the best solution I've come across has been to export as a PSD. Depending if you need to preserve vector information, the only solution I've come across has been copy/paste.
If anyone has any other solution, I'd love to hear it.
- import ai file and right click convert to shape layers. This lets you animate strokes and such.dorkKn1ght
- Use vector masks in Photoshop to get masks in AE.CyBrainX
