this is a known issue with illustrator files. you do = need to make sure there is only one artboard before importing to AE.
<= div>this could surprise you for instance when you create a new template of = 720HDV in illustrator, you will get 2 art boards by default
so you should delete the bigger one when importing to AE.
it could seem to work fine until you choose the command "= create shapesfrom vector layer"
