Just got an e-mail asking about getting text from Photoshop/Illustrator into After Effects. There are a couple of ways to do this: Import the text file in its native form to AE, and then convert to editable text, or the more simple way, just copy and paste it in:
1. Add your video layer to the timeline in After Effects.
2. Select the text in Illustrator and copy.
3. Create a new text layer in After Effects (Layer->New->Text). This should be above your video layer.
4. Select the new text layer in the timeline.
5. Paste the text.
