I'm looking at getting VCP Element for animating logos, but it appears that may be tricky.  

If I understand the method correctly, I'd have to copy all my Ai vectors and paste to masks in Ae, one group at a time.  

Then do my voodoo in Element.

Another tricky part seems to be matching official client colors.  Other than writing down RGB values in Ai and entering manually in Element, I don't see a way in the Element tutorials to assign proper colors to Element layers (such as an eyedropper I can click on an external Ai file.

I don't have, nor do I want a 3D app to make an obj file to export to Element.

I have Invigorator Pro 6, but the Element demos make it look much faster, once you get your layer groups into Element.  And that looks like the hardest part.

Any thoughts?  I don't see a download trial for Element on the VCP site.  Did I overlook the link?
