Josmeete Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hey, I want to create some loading animation or animated icons.. Is there a way to do it? So,... to create animated SVGs or GIFs? I'd be happy to get an helpful answer. Thanks, Josmeete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted June 30, 2016 Staff Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hi Josmeete, Affinity isn't able to produce animated images in any form, sorry. If you wanted to make animations, I might suggest the best way would be to output to SVG and script the animation using JavaScript, or perhaps just output using the 'Spine JSON' output option (in Export Persona) to output your finished illustration to the 2D animation software 'Spine', and use this as it produces truly professional results, from what I have seen. DrawPlus used to allow creation of Keyframe and Stopframe animations - but we do not intend to go down this route again with Affinity. Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8strong Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I'm looking around for a good solution to creating simple animations for an iOS app. I read this post that lead me to Spine. Spine looks promising, but I don't see the 'Spine JSON' output option in Export Persona. I have Affinity Designer 1.4.3 on OS X. Which version has the Spine JSON output option?

Staff MEB Posted September 29, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 29, 2016 Hi 8strong, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) The option MattP is talking about is only available in Designer 1.5 Beta which you can download from here. Remember to keep the Mac App Store installed since it's needed to validate/run the Beta. Also note that files created or saved with the Beta are NOT compatible with older versions. 8strong 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
