About importing SWF in AfterEffects from 2020

As we know, SWF support for web-browser will be ended in 2020. ( and for AIR apps will be continued. )

I'm worrying about what will happens in SWF Importing on AfterEffects, or other Adobe softwares.

I hope we can still use Animate for creating "Vector-Animation asset" which is available in AfterEffects even after 2020.

SWF will carry on being developed for AIR apps and for general animation/export for video. It did also get the SWF Archive feature added, to better support After Effects.

AE already doesn't use the camera layer, or any ActionScript, so it doesn't use or rely on the Flash Player. I would be hopeful that it will continue to let you import the vector animations like it can now, even after the browser plugin has gone.

Thanks for your answer!

I didn't know about new publishing type "SWF archive". You're right, it looks be the way of continueing support for swf as assets for movies!
