Question

Can I add an After Effects comp to Adobe Animate?

Hello, I'm making animated ad banners for a company using an HTML5 canvas in Adobe Animate. I'm looking to do a kind of glitch effect/transition and only know how to do that with After Effects. The final file has to be an HTML5 package. Is there any way to either transfer the finished comp from After Effects, or if that's not possible, is there a tutorial for making a glitch animation with Animate? I can only find tutorials for After Effects, which will not help me if I can't transfer the AE file to Animate.

 

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Unfortunately no. You can however import a FLA to AE but that doesn't help you. Can you provide a sample of the glitch effect and maybe we can advise how best to duplicate it entirely in Animate?

The way I would apply the glitch effect in AE is the same as this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKLDdPpxYj0 using the displacement map and chromatic aberration presets. The only difference is that I'm transitioning the text out instead of into another text layer.

Cool effect - I'll study it more and try and replicate it when I have time. But at quick glance a similar effect can be achieved using Animate with Masking, keyframing and a bit of tiral and error.
