You cannot convert AI to editable text only PSD.

There is a workaround I have done in the past.

Import the AI file into PhotoShop and the text should be editable in PhotoShop then import that into AE swap it for the AI file then use the convert layer to editable text feature in the PSD layer.

Hope that helps.

HI


I have an illustrator file with a text layer , imported it to AE and when i selected the text layer and try to convert it to editable text is grayed out
Is there specific requirements saving an illustrator file for a layer to be converted to editable text in after effects?

Thank You
