Pixelmator & Motion 5

[JoeFine2]

Hello!

Have all (3) Affinity apps, love them,.... but tried the new Pixelmator Pro with save to Motion5 file option. OMG, brilliant!

Super cool if this was on your radar.

Thanks!

Hi @JoeFine2,
If you export the file with the PSD (Final Cut Pro X) preset doesn't it import correctly in Motion for you?

The Pixelmator Pro export actually saves it as a complete Motion project, including editable text, vector shapes, bitmap layers, etc.

It's really well done, and is a bit of a game changer for us folks who regularly work with Motion.

Thanks for the input/feedback Bryan. I see your point.

Somewhat related: Making it easier for folks using the Affinity apps to work well with other apps such as Figma, Final Cut Pro, Motion, DaVinci Resolve, DragonFrame, Spine, Keyshape, Glyphs, FontLab, Rive, Blender, Antidote, etc helps to reduce many folks reliance on those Adobe apps that aren't covered by the Affinity range (After Effects, Premiere, etc). Serif shouldn't create alternative apps for things outside of its primary business focus, but having better integration and support with those other apps that do focus on those areas would make the Affinity range that much more attractive and indispensable.

For some reason Spine is supported to some degree. I think it has been from the very start.
