At least it would be great to have an Affinity format import plugin in After Effects as Illustrator.

Is Affinity apps scriptable? Or is it something that would be expected in the near future?

+1 for this one as align feature on nodes, for the time being Affinity falls short behind Illustrator because of those basic features.

I second that, layers management are pretty powerful in Affinity but it can become rapidly confusing. Be able to choose a color to identify layers and groups would be welcome

The Eyedropper could be indeed much more improved. Affinity only grabs the color while in Illustrator/inDesign it's way more powerful and useful, you can grab everything, you just need to press the "shift" key to only grab the color and with the "alt" key you can reuse what you grabbed on other objects, the workflow is much more streamlined.

Oh thanks! It's the only thing I didn't activate

It's what I made, it's a good workaround. Regards

Align nodes is really important indeed, I hope it will be soon implemented.

+1 for a scribble/zig-zag tool

Affinity still lacks dynamic spacing guides as Illustrator and Indesign. It would be a great time saver.

Like Illustrator it would be great to be able to set a layer as a template to see it in Outline mode for reference when drawing.

Hi, With this method I still couldn't work in Outline mode (wireframe) to see my reference image at the same time, that's the most important part. In vector view when you add objects, fill and so on, you reference image ends up being hidden.

Unfortunately Affinity Designer and After Effects don't pay well together as Affinity can't export in Illustrator that uses a proprietary file format). Other formats like EPS or PDF couldn't be parsed on multiple layers, it's just one layer. IMO the only good solution is to create an After Effects Affinity format import plugin (like Maxon with C4D).

One neat feature in Illustrator is to set a layer as a template, so it stays visible (with Dim percentage) in Outline mode to draw onto. Is there anything like this in Designer?

As it's not possible to export as an AI file to import in After Effects, it would be nice to have an Third party Affinity import format in After Effects so, I know that solution is quite possible.
