Export AE Animation into iOS

I'm working with an illustrator to take After Effects animations and put them into iOS code (SpriteKit specifically).
We would like an automated system that takes a complicated After Effects animation (like the one below) and turns it into something iOS/Objective-C/SpriteKit can understand. Or, if this is not the correct process, how do others usually create AE animations in iOS?
Here are a list of resources that I've explored, but none of them actually solve my problem:
Work with Adobe after effects. Possible or impossible? - Cocos2D Forum
CreativeCOW
After effects for game development? | BP | I make video games and fun software by fractional distillation.
Thanks in advance!

As for AE, I haven't found anything additional to the links you have provided in your initial post. By the way, have you tried the GibsonXML + Shade Dogs scripts approach from bp.io? Is it worth using and adapting to SpriteKit?
Here's some kind of a summary of the options that use Flash or other design environments:
Flash > Flump (open-source) > Starling (cross-platform) or Sparrow (open-source Objective-C 2D game engine)
Flash > Flump (open-source) > Build a custom SpriteKit runtime for Flump's JSON output
Flash > DragonBones plugin (open-source) > zrong/dragonbones-for-cocos2d-x · GitHub for cocos2d-x
Flash > DragonBones plugin (open-source) > Build a custom SpriteKit runtime for DragonBones JSON format
Flash > open-source converters/players such as musictheory/SwiffCore · GitHub (looks like a plain Flash player on iOS) or gree/lwf · GitHub (includes UIKit runtime); they do not support SpriteKit out of the box.
Spine (license required) > one of the official runtimes for cocos2d-iphone/cocos2d-x/Unity/libGDX/Starling/etc. There are also two unofficial runtimes for SpriteKit, see this tutorial: http://www.raywenderlich.com/59535/integrating-spine-spritekit-tutorial
Level Helper 2 (free trial) supports SpriteKit
SpriteBuilder (a.k.a CocosBuilder) > cocos2d; they've also had SpriteKit support but abandoned it. See apportable/SpriteBuilder-SK · GitHub
Flash > GAFMedia extension (license required) > cocos2d-iphone/cocos2d-x/Starling/etc.; no SpriteKit support
It would be great to use SpriteKit but it looks like it is required to build your own custom runtime first to support animations produced in Flash or AE.
Have you considered exporting AE projects into Flash?

Export iDVD animation into iMovie

I have a MacBook w/o an iDVD supported SuperDrive, so I can't burn a DVD, but I was wondering if it was possible to create my iDVD animation, export it into iMovie, dub it up to the beginning of my movie, and export the whole thing as a QT file to email to friends. This way I have the animation, although not looped or interactive, to use as a title sequence in my movie.
Any tips/suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Just thought about something. I'm going to try and export the animation as a disk image and then Handbrake it as a QT. A lot of work, but it might turn out to be the only way. If you know an easier one, let me know. Thanks.

Does animated .gif export support animation of library symbols?

I'm currently using the 30-day free trial of Adobe Flash Professional CC. I was really pleased to see how easily you could export animations in animated .gif format, seemed to run without a hitch.
One thing I noticed while using Flash is that instances of symbols placed into a scene don't actually animate when you use the "Play" function -- that is to say, when you press Enter and the playhead starts moving along the timeline from its current position. They remain at the very first frame of their respective animations. In order to show the proper animations of symbols, you have to use the Test function (CTRL - Enter) to actually compile a working .swf of the thing.
This wasn't much of an issue until I tried to export in .gif format and I got this same issue. Instances of symbols don't animate, they only seem to work in compiled .swf's.
FileDropper link to the working file I'm using: http://www.filedropper.com/flashbottle
Result .gif: http://i.imgur.com/PZVXST7.gif
Since the use of symbols in the Flash workflow seems to be a rather common occurrence it seems unthinkable that Flash wouldn't support their usage with whatever mechanism they use to export animated .gif's. Is there some sort of silly mistake I'm making or checkbox I need to toggle? Or is the functionality simply not there?

Thank you for your reply!
I check exported GIFs in various browsers and XnView viewer.
It's definitely not a preview issue - i have 32Gb of RAM and Nvidia Quadro 4000 GPU on my system.
I believe the issue is with transparency, because i'm able to export GIFs with solid background just fine
GIF export dialogue window has 'Transparency' checkbox, so it looks like it should be possible to export an animated GIF with transparent background, but for some reason i'm getting all frames at the same time
thank you

How do I export an animation from Photoshop with no background, to use in after effects?

Its been a few years since I've used photoshop and after effects together so hoping you can remind me how to do this.
I'm trying to export an animation created in photohop, its frame by frame, no background. I've been exporting it as an image sequence, now I"ve coloured it I need to solve this transparency issue.
Is there a way to export it to use in after effects on top of a background layer.
So I just want to see the character, no background, animation on top of my background layer in after effects, does that make sense??
Please don't say I need to have an alpha channel on each frame, that will take ages, there must be another way.
Please help I need to sort this ASAP
Thanks in advance!
x

Thanks!
So this makes sense, I tried it, when I import into after effects (here is the psd.)
I get this window not sure what to be selecting, but I tried different things and it still isn't importanting as literally the animation with no background, have I missed something? whats strange is that when I import the psd, what does import is a strange monatage of snippets of the video I'm making in afterfx, not the completely separate animation i made in photoshop which I'm trying to work into the video.
very perplexing! any more help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Converting timeline animations into .swf??

Hello all,
In CS3 I was able to export animations into .SWF files but with CS6 I cant seem to find out how to do this? The only option is .MP4 via File>Export>Render Video but thats no good to me. I've searched high and low for this answer but have come up with nothing!
Any suggestions? It needs to be SWF. I've tried to convert MP4 into SWF using a 3rd party software but the quality was shocking and I'm unsure what settings to use for the original animation and also for the converting! Doing it with CS6 is much prefered if possible!
Thanks in advance

To my knowledge, you cannot do this in Photoshop CS6. Check out this help document, Creating Timeline Animation (Photoshop Extended).
Do you have Flash or After Effects?
Cheers,
Michael

Export an animated PSD to SWF

I remember exporting an animated psd file from photoshop into a compiled flash file (swf) awhile back. But in CS5 I cannot find this feature. Was it available earlier only (through ImageReady)? How can I do this now?
Thank you

There is a few ways you can do this. First of all I'm assuming you know that the Image Ready Animation features are all in the Window -> Animation tab. From there, you can choose File -> Export -> Render Video... and choose either an actual video file, which could then be made into an .FLV for flash, or export as a JPG/GIF Sequence which could be imported to the Flash timeline.
Hope this helps!
Jesse
EDIT: Just noticed you were wanting it exported as a compiled .swf. Sorry, I believe that was only with Fireworks that you could do that... i think FLV is your best bet for filesize now anyway.

Export PS layer into iMovie?

I want to import a PS layer into imovie to use as a title. It is a drawing with words made with the brush tool. I want to use it as a title for my film clip. When I import into iMovie. the layer gets flattened with the background and wants to import the white background as well as the white text. Any thoughts?

Just thought about something. I'm going to try and export the animation as a disk image and then Handbrake it as a QT. A lot of work, but it might turn out to be the only way. If you know an easier one, let me know. Thanks.

Import flash animation into edge animate

Hi,
I need to import a flash vector cartoon style animation into edge animate, do you know how can I do it?
Kind regards,
eugenxi

Hi eugenxi,
You can use the Export Png Sequence feature included with Flash CS6 to export a series of pngs from your symbol animation (tut by Tom Green):
http://layersmagazine.com/png-sequence-from-flash-cs6.html
Then import the pngs to Fireworks, and use John Dunning's plugin to export a symbol directly to Edge Animate:

Reg: Exporting the data into excel in ADF 11g application.

Hi All,
We have developed an application in ADF 11g which retrieves the data from database in the form of table. Now we have a requirement to export that data into an excel sheet.
Can anyone please help us regarding this.
Thanks,
Harsha

Hi Harsha,
you can use <af:exportCollectionActionListener /> component to do that. Set the exportedId property to point to of the table. You have options to export all rows or only selected rows.
<af:commandToolbarButton text="Export All Rows to Excel" immediate="true"
                                               id="exportAll">
<af:exportCollectionActionListener type="excelHTML" exportedId="table"
                                                 filename="export.xls"
                                                 title="ADF Faces Export - All" exportedRows="all"/>
</af:commandToolbarButton>
<af:commandToolbarButton text="Export Selected Rows to Excel" immediate="true"
                                        id="exportSelected">

                                                 filename="export.xls"
                                                 title="ADF Faces Export - Selected Rows"
                                                  exportedRows="selected"/>

Loading .gif animations into Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac

For years I used Photoshop Elements 2 for Windows to make .gif animations with great success.
Then I switched to a Mac and bought Elements 8 for Mac. Now, I am finding out that I can not load any
of the animations I made using Elements 2 into 8. (And yet I can load animations I made using 8 into 2.)
In fact, I can not load any .gif animations into 8, other than if I make one and save it
as .psd. 8 allows me to make them, but not load them as .gifs.
My question: Is there an easy way to load .gif animations into PS Elements 8 so a
person can work on the individual frames? Am I going to have to convert any .gif animation I
want to import into 8 first into .psd? All I seem to get when I try to load a .gif is the message
"This is an animated gif. You can only view one frame." I have searched manuals and the
Net looking for a specific method of using PSE8 to load gif animations intact (not just one frame).
Is it possible? Thanks. (I also have noticed that Elements 8 will not allow me to change the frame
speed -- it is unchangeable at .2)

Dear Ms. Brundage -
I followed the directions detailed in your blog entitled "Moving a Catalog from Windows to Mac" as well as your description of the process on page 58 of your book "Photoshop Elements 9 - the missing manual."
I installed PE9 for Windows and converted my catalog. I then backed up that catalog to an external hard drive. I then connected the hard drive to my MAC on which I also installed Photoshop Elements 9 for MAC. I opened the Organizer and tried to restore that converted catalog. However, for each file in the converted catalog, a dialog box opened that said "Could not restore file: /Volumes/Name of External Hard Drive/Filename.JPG."
I then made a second backup of the converted catalog using Photoshop Elements 9 for Windows and then tried to restore that catalog again on the MAC using Photoshop Elements 9 for MAC, again to no avail.
Do you have any idea what the problem may be?
Thanks again.

Exporting an animated GIF

Does anyone know whether it's possible to export an animated GIF from FCP? The only methods I've seen described involve using three programs I don't have - AE, Graphics Converter or ImageReady.

I don't know if there is a way to do it with just FCP.
Have you tried GIFBuilder? I heard it works very well.
