It seems no-one out there has made a real SVG animation export solution (Adobe AE has a plugin thing and so does the horrible UI/UX mess of Adobe Animate - but you still need to implement coding).
I know a lot of web designers are asked to make small buttons with for instance snap.svg, Vivus, GreenSock etc., but this means coding skills in JS or jQuery is needed. Hype should be able to make such fairly easy WYSIWYG style.
My question is: When will this option be added to Hype?
If you can tell us a little more about what types of things you’d like to create in SVG-animation form that would be great (and also what you mean by ‘SVG animation’ since you can already animate SVG elements individually in Hype). Knowing the types of animation you want to make is important for us!
We typically do releases early in the week, but beyond that I can’t make any date promises for features or releases, though we’ve been known to tease features at the Hype Conference.
What I miss is the ability to use SVGs not only as a static image, you can scale, rotate and stretch - but also edit and draw on screen. Take a look at virus.io or snap.svg. Saving one file to use along with simple CSS and with the aid of JS. That way you use the SVG as an element instead of a whole canvas.
I know svgator in its beginning stages but the experience seems weak. I wish Hype can export svg animations if say the animation is comprised of text, shapes, or pasted from vector apps like illustrator.
Hi! I'm new to Hype Pro, just starting with my first project, but I wanted to know if this feature of exporting as SVG has gone anywhere? I can't find any more info for it than this post. I too have tried svgator.com, but as stated, it would be great to have the export ability here as well.
Thanks!
I currently use some static SVGs on a website of mine (in place of rasterized images)... I was hoping to replace them with animated SVGs instead... just give them some movement (they are only text). svgator.com produces files that would work for me, but I am enjoying Hype so far and like the idea of just using that...
This is potentially interesting... I'll try to look into that. It's just that my site is already set up with several customized, automated systems - and this particular one is designed to accept and insert an SVG... Thanks for your suggestions @h_classen!
An interesting extension would be a function going through all SVG elements in a scene, combining them into on SVG container and then triggering a download.
If one has such a function one could probably snatch a snapshot (maybe beginning of the main timeline) and a second snapshot (at the end) and do something with CSS transitions. Hmmm but not sure if it’s worth the trouble writing it.
