Adobe removed support for exporting SVG animations on Adobe Animate - what now?
It is impossible to natively export SVG animations on Adobe Animate. Before you disagree, please note that I'm talking about SVG animations. I am NOT talking about exporting a single SVG image.
The only way to make this possible was to use plug-ins. SnapSVG was one such plugin, and there are several problems with this:
- Just the sheer fact that a product titled "Adobe Animate" can't export animated svg files is a problem.
- SnapSVG is no longer actively being developed.
- SnapSVG was never 100% completed - it is arguably an incomplete beta-version product.
- Adobe Animate has shown many incompatibility issues with SnapSVG
An Adobe representative has told me on the phone yesterday that SnapSVG will simply be pulled from the library of plugins available. She was not able to comment on whether or not exporting animations on Adobe Animate, a software for creating animations on multiple platforms such as web browsers, will support exporting animated svg files.
This is highly disappointing as we will not be able to export svg animation with Adobe Animate 2019 (at least with the macOS version of Adobe Animate 2019).
So the question here is, where do we go from here? Can Adobe please make this feature a reality? This move eliminates the vast majority of reason why I would use Adobe Animate, but I would love to stay within the Adobe ecosystem.
