Rayo
A faster Illustrator to After Effects workflow.
Rayo is a workflow toolset designed to streamline the Adobe Illustrator to Abebe After Effects pipeline.
It focuses on preserving structure, accuracy, and editability—so artwork arrives in After Effects clean, organised, and ready for animation.
By reducing manual rebuilding and cleanup, Rayo helps motion designers move faster from design to motion while keeping full creative control.
Merge mode
Combine complex Illustrator artwork into clean, organised After Effects layers. Merge mode intelligently preserves groups, gradients, and structure—ready for animation without the cleanup.
Split mode
Break Illustrator artwork into individual, animation-ready layers with precision. Split mode gives you full control over every shape, group, and element inside After Effects.
Text transfer
Transfer Illustrator text directly into After Effects as fully editable text layers. Fonts, alignment, and hierarchy are preserved for seamless motion design workflows.
Ramp support
Recreate Illustrator gradients inside After Effects with accurate color stops and direction. Ramp mode converts complex gradients into motion-ready gradient ramps—no rebuilding required.
