Hello very Newb Question,
I got a pack of Vector Elements from Freepik that I want to use in After Effects. I need to separate each one separately in Illustrator (because they gave me an .AI file) how do i do that? Thanks!

Add new layer in ai, cut one of the people (control x on pc) and then paste into New layer. Repeat as needed.

Or group each person you want as a layer and then hit this button:

Then select all the layers that are a child of the main layer and drag them above the main layer and they'll all be independent.
