Paul Dermen Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 It depends what file format adobe animate cc requires for importing files. Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

Butler To Cats Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Can Adobe Animate handle SVG? That should work from Affinity Designer. Otherwise, you can use raster artwork (PNGs and slices are your friends) - you'll be limited to cutout animation, mesh deformation, and element switching, but you can do a lot with that.

According to official guide, you can only export it - https://helpx.adobe.com/animate/using/exporting-svg-format.html Maybe, try Adobe Connect, it should help you.

SkunkTom Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) Can Adobe Animate import .SVG exported from Affinity Designer? - YES. The result will be a single group of whatever you chose at export (whole stage/area/selection) Importing the SVG: the default option is fine. I didn't notice any differences. Any effects you have added from within Affinity Designer will be rasterized in Adobe Animate (did not test all effects) layer names from Affinity Designer are lost the layers/groups from your Affinity Designer file will be converted into groups within groups of nested objects. Affinity brushes will be rasterized strokes with a variable width will be converted to filled shapes in Animate Objects with both a stroke and fill, will be converted to a grouping of the stroke and the fill as separate objects Transparency from Affinity Designer appears to import correctly clipping will import as masked layers within Animate. 👍 What you will import is a single object to the stage. If you were smart in your Affinity Designer layering/grouping you can proceed to meticulously rebuild your creation for Animate, if desired. I usually select that object and Cmd-B (break it) one time. This leaves me my first set of layers/groups that I can then Cmd-D to distribute to layers (make sure all layers are selected) Next I take each of those groups and make them a symbol. Then I can edit each of those symbols by repeating the Cmd-B, Cmd-D steps within that symbols root until it's "ready" to be animated. I'm basically converting the imported grouping from Affinity Designers Layers into the parenting hierarchy of Adobe Animates symbols. Hope that made sense Cheers!
