You can import AI files into Motion and if set right you can maintain its vector quality.
Your Illustrator file needs to be RGB and not CMYK. Be sure to save the AI file with PDF compatibility. After you bring it into Motion, just select it, press Shift+F (takes to you the Media tab), then uncheck the Fixed Resolution checkbox. This will allow the vector image to be rasterized at whatever size it is on-screen. Hope this helps.

I came out of my Windows illustrator as a PDF compatible .ai file.
Apple Motion will not read the CS4 noway-no how.
Is it another..."gee, you better buy the Mac version of the Adobe Suite" ????

Sorry Mark, it opened up with no problems on my machine. I looked at the manual and it doesn't say that the file needs to be created on Mac version of the program. See if this AI file works.

I took the 366_test.ai from the desktop and saved in in a test directory, but whether I imported
from the file\import menu or from the media import + button or the media\import function the
366_test.ai is greyed out.
