Den_K Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) Hello Just recently got Affinity Designer, and have a couple questions. Is there any solution to export editabe text from Affinity Designer to After Effects? I tried to use PSD, but looks like text in PSDs from Affinity is not editable. Thank you!

John Rostron Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Try exporting your AD file to pdf, then importing that into AE. This may or may not work, but is worth a try.

firstdefence Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 On Mac there is a PSD export option to Final Cut Pro X (FCPX) but it still isn't editable text i.e. you can't change the letters from say Test to Text. if you drag the file back into Affinity Designer it opens with a Pixel Layer. If you try to convert it to editable text in AE it gives this message Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

Den_K Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 I dug the forum, and have found out that Affinity doesn't export to PSD editable text. I really hope developers are working on that. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Den_K Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 I tried PDF, it's not editable in AE. I've found a single solution: export to SVG > import to Adobe XD > export to AE But there is a little problem, export to SVG splits Frame text to bunch of text lines.

firstdefence Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Is there a reason you don't just use the text option in AE?
