Hey,

So I was trying to use the Adobe XD feature that exports an object directly to After effects but it didn't work for me (IDK why). It(XD) shows a completion bar but nothing really happens in after effects and it disables the option after that.

Can anyone tell me what could be the problem?

Using Adobe XD Latest version and After effects 2019.

Correct answer flatform_

Hi I have Installed aftereffects but its still greyedout in adobe xd? I am using AE Cs6 and latest version of XD can you help me to fix it?

 


Had the same problem, try this:

 

1. Close After Effects, if it is open (XD will auto-launch it).

2. in XD, Select all the elements you want to export and make sure to tick "Mark For Export" in their Properties.

3. Open Layers Panel (bottom left) and go to Artboards, select all Artboards you want to export.

4. Go File/Export/After Effects

5. Wait a bit and After Effects will auto-launch and create the compositions needed. Text will be editable.

 

Hope this helps, greetings.

Impossible to know without any details about the actual project. Quite likely the way you create your assets and interactionss does not generate distinct layers and will require more work.

Rolling back to the previous XD release seems to solve the issue for the time being. Hopefully Adobe can fix in the next XD release...and maybe take a look at the massive color shift (that is NOT due to color profiles) from XD to AE as well.
