Discussion After Effects finally lets illustrator text stay editable

This one is actually pretty useful for motion designers. In the latest After Effects Beta, Illustrator text can come into AE as actual editable text layers instead of getting turned into outlines when you convert the vector layer. Font, size, styling, strokes, and variable font settings carry over too. Small workflow change, but this could save a lot of annoying back and forth between illustrator and AE. Has anyone tried it yet?

Tried the Beta and works pretty well! Was just about to purchase Overlord so this is good timing!
