Hi there - is it possible to export an animted svg from adobe animate without all the html?

    Correct answer _keyframer

    This might be my #1 feature request since animated SVGs are simply awesome and require no 3rd party player. I actually found a way via an extension that is no longer supported and is a bit quirky. But I got it to work! Grab this:

    https://exchange.adobe.com/creativecloud.details.7232.animated-svg-exporter.html

     

    THINGS TO KNOW:
    After you create your animation...
    Convert all tweens to keyframes
    Unlock all layers
    Ensure all nested animations have the same number of frames as the main timeline does
    Grouped objects can pose problems - use Object Drawings when necessary

    Sometimes the exported SVG can have weird glitches but after lots of trial and error, I have managed to get it to work.

     

    Now, if I can convince the engineering team to build this as a native document type, animators and developers can rejoice!

    Animate cannot export animated SVG, only SVG sequence.
