In order to preserve the appearance, be sure to enable the Precomp Groups option. The shadows are internally created by using a single option called general shadow. Since Ae does not natively support grouping, this drop shadow will be applied to the parent layer of the group, which is not really visible. Inside of Sketch, a drop shadow may be applied to a group and that shadow will apply the layers within. Manually align these layers or select the whole group hierarchy. Meaning, if a selected layer is inside a group the layer’s comp position will be zeroed out by the parent group layer. You'll need to manually set the layer's blending mode to affect other layers. Just try this you will know the difference Create a text layer Duplicate and make two different precomps. So if colors are looking a little off between layers, this is why. I can say a difference that, there's global light option in Layer Style Drop Shadow option. This behavior is different than in Sketch where a layer’s fill color will mix with other layer’s below it. Internal blending modes (on fills and strokes) will mix internally but not with other layers. # Blending modes aren't blendingĪe shape layers have multiple blending modes.

This will create a text layer in the correct position then apply styling. A workaround for this is to hightlight text in Figma/Sketch, copy, then in Ae select the misaligned layer, highlight the text and paste. Unfortunately, it is not possible in After Effects to set per-character variation type. Use this reference to manually align layers. This reference will import on top of your layers with a reduced opacity. The easiest solution is to export a reference image of your artboard. Text can be problematic because of the different methods of text alignment Adobe and Figma use. The layer will be exported rasterized without any rotation and will be aligned properly. If a rotated image appears offset in Ae, simply Group it in Figma and add a * to the start of the group's layer name. Great care has been taken to align layers as pixel-perfect as possible, but because of the differences in each app's coordinate system, it doesn’t always work quite right. # Troubleshooting # Layers misaligned (Figma)
