I have beautiful pixel relief maps on which I place animated vector arrows, etc. Does Affinity have any feature that allows me to animate vector objects on layers that are above an image or pixel layer? I now use Apple's Keynote or Pages apps to achieve this animation, using great vector objects created in Affinity. If such Apple animation features were built into Affinity and one could export it, it would become an amazing feature. Affinity's features such as pinning are great for printing projects but having the animation of Keynote would be terrific. However, this might cause some tension with Apple and their products, but perhaps not. They seem to love Affinity.

I would like to use Affinity on my iPad Pro to create drawings such as characters, vehicles, jet planes, etc and then I would need those drawings to be editable in Adobe Animate CC. Will this work?

Affinity's apps are amazingly versatile and easy to use in creating and exporting various formats. I constantly use it in creating PDFs, Keynote objects, etc. They can be easily positioned in these programs simply by exporting them from Affinity by creating an invisible rectangle around the objects and then resizing the Affinity exports (PNG, ,etc.) and positioning them at 0/0 in the target app. In my work I have a static object such as a map relief (slide in Keynote, exported from Affinity) and then drop addition graphics made in Affinity into the target app. Affinity allows me to have well-organized layers to know exactly what is on and off in creating the object to be transferred. Bravo, Affinity! They weak link in this chain is the target app (Keynote, Final Cut Pro, etc.). A REQUEST/SUGGESTION: That Affinity consider creating/adding another animation app in its great trinity of apps, one which would allow the user to go directly to animate objects over such a static images such as my map relief. To have an added app options (such as Keynote has, or even better yet a timeline based app) would make Affinity's suite more complete and even more terrific .. but would Apple see this as competition for Keynote? I know Affinity is constantly busy making their three (combined) apps better, but I also hope they will consider the above. Thanks for all you do, by far most unseen but not unappreciated.

Hello: I did read that y'all don't have in mind make a animation software, but I really would like that y'all make one, there a lot of peoples that would like that Affinity make a animation software. I'm willing to pay for it. I would like that in the future y'all expand the software area to something like following: - Animation Software. - Video Editor Software. - 3D software. - IDE for web programming or even desktop application (Using affinity designer for the GUI and pass the design to the IDE and continue working with it). I would like please put some of those in your plans, y'all can open a donation web site and get founds for make this projects. Let us know.
