SVGA! forcing us app designers to lottie and rive- really?

its a shame and awkward we dont have svga in 2023. we signed up for a paid rive account (nice but not close to adobe animate) because you dont manage?
Paying adobe users since 24 years, CS and later CC since day one.

this is really disappointing. i hate rive and lottie, and im paying for the whole agency CC accounts already….

Lottie has a plugin for Animate as well but it's very limited at the moment (still in beta)

I have not been able to get the Lottie beta to even install. No updates in months. I gave up on it. Hope someone's working on it. But the rest of the application world has passed it by already. Can't wait forever.

Super VGA has been obsolete for decades, my man.

I agree, super VGA is very obsolete. So much so that some people have taken to using SVGA as a term for SVG with animation, but this is not universally recognised. From my reading of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SVG_animation there isn't an SVGA file format , but is usually achieved by things like JavaScript wrappers or embedding SMIL XML in an SVG. It would be entirely possible for Photoshop to make a mixture of graphics and wrappers of course. I suggest that someone add a wish and post a link for others to vote on it. Adobe count votes.

I have to agree. I work with a startup and the dev team prefers animated SVGs but we're forced to use Lottie because Animate doesn't export natively to animated SVG (only static). After Effects can export to Lottie and that's the only reason. But our workflow is much more complicated because a lot of our animations are already made with Animate. I did find a 3rd party plugin but it's riddled with shortcomings and bugs. But I have managed to get it working. If you download it and can get it installed, let me know and I'll try and make a video that documents the work-arounds I've spent way too much time finding...
