Sol Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I jumping on this bandwagon. Would be very happy to see this happen. The amount of time it would save... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scootoss Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Agreed, this feature would be fantastic. Particularly with the inability for Motion to change text to a shape, doing this in AD would be such a time saver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deHaan Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Yes, please give us export to Motion - it would be wonderful to work with Motion without using Adobe products! :) BBG3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALx Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I'd say this could be a perfect case for a plugin. However, considering the current roadmap, it's unlikely we will see plugin functionality in AD/AP v1.x. Hopefully in v2.0 because Adobe introduced plugins in Photoshop 2.0 and Affinity can't be worse! :D smallreflection 1 Quote —ALx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aenimanu Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 This would be a fantastic feature. Hope to see it implemented soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwuckel Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 What about the opposite way? Maybe you guys can talk to Apple, that Motion (and other programs) accept the .af file format!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudemeister Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Maybe you guys can talk to Apple, that Motion (and other programs) accept the .af file format!? Right. Because since they have not even implemented support for a common TWENTY year old file format (AI), they'll just start with an uncommon TWO year old one first. Makes total sense. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I just bought Motion yesterday. Would love to have vector import from AD :rolleyes: I think it would be nice if Serif would add Motion XML shapes export to AD. Third party solutions or opening AD file format to Apple are not very probable so far. BBG3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnycourtens Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I agree this would be a major step forward. Motion 5 is very popular these days, which we have witnessed during several events we organized last year. Being able to export vector shapes from Affinity into Shapes for Motion 5 would make these apps a killer combination that would raise a lot of intrest for Affinity in the mograph world. If you really would consider working on this, drop me an e-mail: ronnycourtens(at)mac(dot)com BBG3 and velarde 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deHaan Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 This would be awesome - would definitely make me (and probably a lot of Motion users) jump from Illustratir to Affinity. velarde 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velarde Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Just Bought Final Cut Pro X and Motion to replace Adobe Premiere (And somewhat AfterEffects which is really hard to replace) With Affinity Photo to replace Photoshop and Affinity Designer to replace Ilustrator this could be a killler combination if they could communicate and export assets easily with Apple's Pro Video Products. This would help a lot of Editors/ Video & Motion Graphic Artists to make the switch if they are un happy with the Adobe CC Subscription plan. Target a whole new segment of the Design Community.. P.D. As mentioned before if this comes on version 2.0 or 2.5 of Designer (or Photo) it's understandable, just keep it in mind for future features. This would be awesome - would definitely make me (and probably a lot of Motion users) jump from Illustratir to Affinity.

velarde Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Maybe it could happen... It looks like Apple is happy with their Affinity/Serif relationship. Affinity Photo for iPad showcased in the Apple Developers conference and also I remember last year several Affinity Designer screenshots in their iMac product photos in the apple.com website... A one year old product displayed prominently in Apple's website. Who would have thought so.... ? Added: Now they are showing a Photoshop screenshot, ja! They must have have made somebody uncomfortable... What about the opposite way? Maybe you guys can talk to Apple, that Motion (and other programs) accept the .af file format!?

Deyson Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Hello! I would love to see an Affinity export to Motion feature or an Affinity importer in Motion. There two products for their great price point and ease of use are meant for each other. I would love to see a way to design my graphics and then easily switch over and begin to animate them. I look forward to this. Have an amazing day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olivier28 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Hi, this post seems to be old. Does affinity can export to apple motion now ? I'm really into bying it but this is something I realy need to remplace definitly illustrator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudemeister Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 It's old, yes. But nope, STILL no support. Not sure why not, since it's not anywhere near as difficult as MANY other things that have come around since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketdrive Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 For assets that do not scale too much a solution that works just fine is to export them as layered PSDs. Motion should easily handle double or triple resolution assets. While I agree that vectors would be a more elegant approach, I've been successfully using exported layered PSDs and single PNGs in Motion for an animation project. What I'm saying is: there is a path from Affinity to Motion right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudemeister Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 If anyone thought that that (which I'm sure we're ALL very familiar with, yes) was some sort of solution or alternative, THEY WOULDN'T BE HERE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketdrive Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I totally see cases where having editable vectors would be nice. Been there, missed that, moved on. It's just that many posts sound as if there was no way to have Affinity assets in Motion. Which is not true, there is a way, and it is pretty straight forward, and it's totally fine for production. In many cases it doesn't matter at all if I import a vector or raster file. In the end, Motion will rasterize everything anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudemeister Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 You're clearly not getting it. Why do you suppose I and others are asking for this?? Hmmmm... maybe because we ALREADY KNOW of the alternatives and they're not sufficient?? I've been in this business for 25+ years and know WHY I'm asking for something and why I need it. As I'm sure everyone else here does, too, thanks. Give it a rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketdrive Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Dude, Your tone ... I already agreed with You, while pointing out an alternative. If my suggestion is not a thing for You that's fine, we agree to disagree. Maybe it is for someone else. This is a place for open discussion and You are not the one shutting people down. Nor am I. So let's keep it calm and friendly around here. Using tools for (motion) design constantly involves work-arounds and tricks. And hearing how people solve problems is just a lot more interesting.

Dudemeister Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Well, treating others like moron noobies isn't exactly helpful. As if not everyone and their mother didn't already know that a RASTERIZED image is an option. That being the reason for THIS THREAD, because THAT IS NOT ENOUGH. Which part are you not getting? Never mind that some PSD is never going to give me anywhere near the flexibility and quality that a LAYER VECTOR GRAPHIC will, and that at just a FRACTION of the size!
