Adobe Illustrator is by far the best program to use for Motion Graphics in conjunction with Adobe After Effects. Please don’t use In-Design for your motion graphic illustrations as there are serious issues with bounding boxes and groups that just don’t play well with After Effects.
Illustration and file preparation is perhaps the most important part of any motion graphic workflow. Once you import the files into After Effects it’s much harder to fix little mistakes, split layers and shapes up.
