Egg, I am more than little spooked by that! That is so close to how the original flash animation used to look. I’m definitely going to investigate animating svg’s. Was that done using Vivus?

[Egg Bramhill]

Whoops! Didn't mean to spook you Jono

No this was created in SVGator

I have the Pro version for $144 per year but they have a free version so you can try it out. A bit of a learning curve required and unlike Flash you can't have .swf's loading other .swf's but you can get around this. Their customer support is excellent. The company is a Veitnamese I believe.

Xara exported svg's import very nicely into svgator. Only issue I have it uses a 72ppi values (obviously an IOS cross-over) rather than Windows 96dpi.

This one has four svg place holders overlayed on each other. The fish animation is 20 secs long, the three weed animations are 3 secs long and just resized and repositioned in Xara. The weeds have tweens, which are smooth.

looks good egg - can you add sound in the program or would you need to sync it in another program? thanks

[Egg Bramhill]

Hi HD. Not as far as I know. I don't think audio and svgs can be put together. I'll do a quick search.

[Egg Bramhill]

Apparently you can. However not on the software I'm using.

You can convert SVG to MP4 and add sound thereafter: didn't have the original SVG so this is a HD 1920x 1080 screen recording. Converted to a UHD 4k MP4/H264 video: https://initiostar.co.uk/demo/SVG-4k.mp4

Clearly you lose the SVG scalability and some quality, but it's a neat way of taking an animation where you then have full editing capabilities to add any content to it (as well as other SVG animations). Easy to add the MP4 to any Xara document.

thanks again for that

MP4/MOV are the formats I use, but not for websites which I don't build

[Egg Bramhill]

Cheers for that Gary, very sweet.
I've added an mp3 player to the xar file, not ideal but keeps the filesize down.
