I am stuck newbie. The logo I want to use (black ‘g’ against a white background) it is not vectorised, so l got the jpeg and traced it in Illistrator. I then expanded the layer to break it up into individual object layers. When l use the alpha invert the logo turns black with a faint outline of the ‘g’. Where am l going wrong?

In Illustrator, I saved both the positive *and* negative space in the file which I imported into AE. I’ve got my head around the fact that the background solid functions as the negative space of the original file.
Warm regards from Montreal!
