After Effects integration

[ColbyFulton]

I have a crazy question! I'm working on a game with Adobe Animate that has many different animations (png sequences with transparent background). They're created in After Effects and it occurred to me that I should be able to dynamically link my comps in After Effects as assets in Adobe Animate. Every time I update the animations I really don't want to have to update them frame by frame into Animate. Is anyone aware of a way to link comps like you can with Premiere? Anyone aware of a way to update dozens of frames automatically?

Thanks

Hi ColbyFulton

After Effects and Premiere are twins, more alike in basically making raster-graphic based videos/animations. Hence they are having a more advanced and convenient exchange mechanisms between the two.

I don't know of any comparable method between AE and AN. But there are ways. You are working with PNG still image sequences coming from AE imported into Animate's library. If you do good housekeeping in the library (having your sequence images nicely in folders, then you can select all images of a sequence and with right mouse click select Update ... . You can do that every time when you exported an updated still image sequence from After Effects. This would update in one go the animation in Animate which is based on those still images.

In addition to the above solution, see Integration of Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects with Animate CC​ for the current possibilities of working between Adobe Animate and Adobe After Effects.
