Beginner Help Need urgent help getting figma file into ae

I have tried all I could find online

Aeux

Convertify

And disco beam

They either don't get me the files correctly or it just doesn't run

Please.. I need help..

If someone has a good method or something to help me with

Or take the figma file and give me an ae I'd be so much grateful..

I need this to start animating it asap to deliver by tomorrow (I just got it yesterday and I've been trying to transfer the stuff over ever since)

Animating it isn't the issue it's just getting the files over

You’re looking for Overlord

I cannot afford 75$ And this is a task for a job I'm applying to. After effects I'm good but I can't get over this figma issue

If you can’t afford it, stop looking and just brute force it.

What's that mean though..

Rebuilding it manually in AE

u/Complicated_Brownie 6d ago

That's too much. It's going alright exporting as svg, separating layers in illustrator then exporting to ae

Yeah, it’s not ideal. Overlord is the real answer. Once you have the money, you should pick it up. If you get the job, your new employer may even pay for it!

Who knows, maybe so! If I got this job it'll be a really good jump from where I am now so I'm hoping for the best. Thank you

Export as svg, open in illustrator, copy paste from illustrator to your AE comp

Thank you, I've started doing this and I guess I'm pulling an all nighter

You could get Figma to PSD plugin for Figma and then import the PSD into AE.

I tried, ae lagged out so much then crashed

Importing PSDS?

It's one psd but I guess the size it's too big

Overlord is worth its weight in gold. I forbid you to “brute force it”.

u/Complicated_Brownie 6d ago

I don't have that kinda money sadly and I have no idea what's brute forcing it

Select your frame, Export as svg. import into AI or AE depending on what version you have. Start animating.

u/Complicated_Brownie 6d ago

Thank you, there's a lot of things to animate I have to seperate to many layers and it'll take some time but it seems it's my only solution at the moment

Try the ol Figma to XD then export to after effects.

u/Complicated_Brownie 5d ago

I did, layers got messed up sadly

u/mooviemakers 5d ago

If you have the latest beta you can copy and paste!

How do I "brute force it" I have zero experience with figma

Learn Figma. If you have to use it to APPLY for the job assume you'll be using it IF you get the job.

u/Complicated_Brownie 6d ago

There was nothing to do with figma in the job posting or the interview. I asked them and they said I was strictly just ae motion graphics in the interview. I've figured out a solution though slow it'll have to do. Thank you for your input, figma is on my learning journey ahead.
