save pics from library

[ObjectsCountries]

Ok, so recently I was trying to get some assets for a character of mine, and I had to dig back to an old file to get the images. But I'm wondering, how do I transfer my old SVG images to my new file, or to a separate folder on my computer for later use?

transfer from where to your computer?

I need to transfer images from the library of an animation to a folder on my computer

if you mean a cc library, turn on file sync to sync to your computer.

I don't mean the CC library, I mean the library next to properties. How do I get those images downloaded onto my computer?

right click>click edit with..>select an appropriate program (eg, ps for bitmaps) and use "save as" from that program.

I don't see an "edit with" option, where do i right click?

[kglad]

right click the library item.

i am VERY confused, can you provide a video tutorial?

[kglad]

if ps is installed and your right click a bitmap, you can select ps directly:

Importing an SVG image into Animate converts it to a native Animate vector object. The original SVG data is discarded. The closest you can get to recovering the original SVG is to place the imported vector on the stage, then go to Publish Settings, uncheck whatever's directly under "PUBLISH" on the left, then under "OTHER FORMATS" check "SVG Image". Publish.

But, if you just want to use the imported SVG in a different Animate project, all you have to do is open both the old and new projects in Animate and copy-paste between the libraries.
