Bezier curve issue when importing Affinity Designer file to Motion

Hi

This is not available when working between Motion and Affinity Designer. There is a workflow between Motion and Adobe Illustrator that requires a script to export the vectors as dedicated motion shape files that you can then import to Motion by adding the files directly to the Motion shapes directory in the MacOS library. The best script is by Scott Ash ‘Motionise’ and you can get it here

This work flow is only possible because scripts are possible on the AI side. As far as I know, Serif have no plans to bring this to Affinity Designer. This exact topic has a thread at the Affinity forums, and many Motion users have been posting there about making vector exports for use in Motion. Sadly this is the state of things, so we live in hope until either Serif or Apple delivers something.

Motion has basic vector tools, but if you are good with the pen tool and confident with illustration, you can do it all in Motion. Anyway, I sympathize with your dilemma here, we are all living in hope for this feature.
