Haven't been up to date with all Adobe stuff since CC was released and seeing how far this whole industry is going just blows my mind. So much to learn still. Thanks for sharing!
As long as they don’t bloat it like their other products (sorry Adobe, just not your typical “power user” here). I actually prefer having Sketch + Flinto, one for illustrating static designs and one for doing hi-fi prototypes. Auto-animate has been in Flinto for years, and it’s been refined quite a bit.
I've been out of the web design space for a while, so hope does XD integrate with the website programming aspect? Are there any videos you recommend? Thanks in advance!
More pain point avoidance. Designers need software that allows for exportable animations. You've basically just replaced workflows for anyone using keynote to animate their sites to use as a proof of concept. Adding in these features is worthless if it cannot translate directly to a development handoff. This is just for visual reference and who the heck wants to create all of those artboards for each tiny animation? Tweening frames? I mean really? Super innovative.
Hey Howard! Great stuff. I've recreated the dragging feature you showcase at 4:05 for my own prototype. I've run into the issue that, an image can only be linked to one artboard, meaning I can't drag back to the previous image, unless I don't link it to another image to it's right. The image carousel only drags to the right, not backwards. Does anyone know of a solution to this? Thanks!
You can work around this by either linking the images on the side to the next/previous artboards, or create two 'hidden' layers on top of the focus image. One to drag left, one to drag right. That being said, the team is looking into more elegant solutions for this. :)
All that is missing is animated symbols (like I have 8 toggle switches on a screen, I don't want to create all 16 combinations, because it only can animate full screens)
5:09 how do you drag it like that? I have also seen your kit, and have made the layer have the same name, but when I try dragging it, nothing happens .
This is fantastic, and represents a huge leap forward. The only thing is that, like Storyboards in Xcode, it has the potential to explode from 'wow, that was so easy' to 'it's taking 45 seconds to load my art boards for this project as there are 200 of them....' No?
sooooo how far down the XD development pipeline is the Justify Content alignment option? surprised with all the bells and whistles that something so fundamental got missed....
Fantastic. Don't get me wrong im very much in the 'XD' corner when it comes to front end design. Good to see the teams very proactive in the apps development though, looking forward to the future of this software
Awesome effect. But how can we use this practically on a wenpage? Do we export it as a certain type of file and then convert it in html in order to place it on a website? Thanks
@@AsToNlele now i see the difference. So you can see it in action how is look like. So you can put some movement in elements and those elements can have movement when you convert it in html?
Its just a prototype. Instead of vaguely telling the developer that what you want to achieve, you will give him this interactive demo and they will replicate the animation and interaction. This way a lot of time is saved for a big project. Coding the animation on web or any framework is relatively time consuming. So instead of changing the look of animation after its coded, the designer can fine tune, revise and get the animation approved by the client, and only after that it will finally go to development. Though there are softwares and plugins that can not only demo the final result but also allow you to output the code for animation, but they are not universal. They will work for one platform, lets say the iphone, but won't work for web or vice versa.
Dark mode is a pretty popular request (I personally would love it), but I think the team wants to get a few more core features out before tackling it. Keep upvoting the request on Uservoice. ;)
Have you looked at these auto animate features when demo-ing on a phone from the XD app? They are super chunky and kind of detract from the overall use of it. I spent a few days with Adobe support on it and they were able to replicate the issue and log the bug. Hopefully that gets fixed with the next app updates.
Hi, Howard! I was wondering if there is a way in XD to have it auto detect changes in orientation between portrait and landscape of the device? Something that automatically has it switch to the correct orientation when you are prototyping?
Just a thought. I love the new auto animate feature - but isnt it a bugger if you have to "clone" the entire artboard two times, for just a micro animation? I mean if the rest of the content will change, you ll have to manage and re-edit a lot of art boards just because you want to animate a single icon? How do you deal about that?
@@ramsesgrajeda5185 the confusion stems from using the term "import" instead of "export". But I don't see the need to export something for PS from XD. Illustrator, maybe, but not PS.
Adobe is finally stepping up their game and it will be crazy once they open it up for third party plugins later this year Also I need me some horizontal scrolling artboards
Plugins are available now in XD, and there are already some incredible ones. Horizontal scrolling is something the team is definitely looking at. In the meantime, the drag trigger works well.
the thing is quiet simple, you can't drag left if you have 3 cards or more because the blue handle will be attached to the next card and you can't attached it to the previous as well, so you can only drag right but not go back, if you notice even in this video he is only dragging right and never left, it's a trap
Is there any plugin that could export this animation and art board into HTML??? I already know it is possible with web export but im guessing the animations need to be exported into java. Let me know if anyone knows!
When i set this up (like you have in the 3rd example) and drag the image to the left (on windows), i dont get that animation. It's just fades/disolves and the second image appears. Any ideas?
Im having some troubles to represent a scroll down in a particular session of the website, do u know how could I manage to be able to do it in XD? I can send you the pdf :)
Ok so I had a button that opens a larger version of it self. I moved up and scaled, just like I wanted. Now it just fades in. Why? This program really lacks a LOT of features.
I'm working on Adobe XD for now 2 weeks. This is the most easiest Adobe product I used so far (Yeah looking at you AE). Never been to the point where I want to export my template to Android Studio or Xcode : do auto-animations are exported too or will I need to recreate them with code ?
I'm not sure if its just me, but Xd is animating at 30 fps, compared to something like Principle for example which animates at 60 fps. I'm I the only one noticing this or maybe something isn't right with my preview
Yo bro, i have a problem ! I can't get the photo strip up when I press the icon. Where did you place the photos on the work surface before they appear?
maybe add option to add after effects project or mp4 file to xd? i have hundreds of ui animations that i would love to make interactive, but i can't :(
I love Adobe programs and how you can easy import/export elements from one to another. But clearly, Adobe XD is so far behind when it comes to animation and micro-interactions. I mean duplicating artboards for every micro-animation and having duplicated elements with opacity 0 in every artboard works fine if you have a small project. But working on a project with a lot of screens and elements that change a lot during the process could be really hard and messy... I am looking for a program where I can design and prototype with animations and don't have to export screens to another one every time I make little changes (like Invision or exporting to After Effects). I prefer working AND animating in the same program. For the moment I think Adobe XD is making a lot of progress and is constantly adding great new features. But fits better small projects with few animations and screens. Not the complex ones.
Wouldn't it be a lot easier for the users if it worked more like UXPin? Basically, with XD you have to create separate screens for each minor interaction, it doesn't make much sense. In UXPin, which I'm not a fan of, it's pretty crappy as far as UX, but excellent as far as interactions complexity, everything can be done in the same page, you don't need to create 100 pages to cater for all interactions. I feel like scratching my head with my toe with XD.
Sadly, they announced a few months back that Adobe is ending support for Muse. That said, with the way Adobe XD is going... I am curious if they decided to invest all of their energy here to even replace Muse. Granted not the same thing, but sorta if you look at it as building blocks instead of a "Web Development Tool"
@@HowardPinsky I did find another video about this but it seems to only work for hover state which is better but not there yet and also drag to scroll horizontally
This is soo awesome) no need of waiting for invision studio on windows anymore😂
These are the most important functions for the whole time that XD exists! BRAVO!
Every time i read "XD" i see the laughing face
lol
I keep thinking they had a lot of fun with this application and they are probably laughing that it will kill off Sketch. XD
that's my fave emoticon ever since. I can't really unsee it with even after years of using XD.
xD
"The real Pinsky" is back. Thx, mate!
Wow! XD is dramatically removing all the competitors! Good job Adobe!
InVision Studio had that Idea first
@@ManuelDoffou "Idea"
Haven't been up to date with all Adobe stuff since CC was released and seeing how far this whole industry is going just blows my mind. So much to learn still. Thanks for sharing!
OMG Adobe XD is the future of web design!
We've only just begun. ;)
RIP Sketch !
Soon, but not yet imo :)

what? I dumped sketch months ago...

Hi Howard, I would like to know how you made one of those images expend after click in on it. Thank you!
Just updated my XD and love the new features.... Super Love Adobe XD !!

This is just for visual reference and who the heck wants to create all of those artboards for each tiny animation? Tweening frames? I mean really? Super innovative.
You can also export boards to after effects which is a huge step up from last version. Do all you fancy customised animation in there.
The problem is that we have to create multiple artboards to create the animation. Achieving that should be quite easy and confined to same artboard.

I agree, separate component control would be nice, like atomic.io.
or Principle
5:09 how do you drag it like that? I have also seen your kit, and have made the layer have the same name, but when I try dragging it, nothing happens .
How did you zoom the window at 1:58 when in Preview mode?

do you think adobe XD will ever implement video or gif in the future? would be awesome
ahhh thank you for this! sometimes its hard to keep track of all the updates!
sooooo how far down the XD development pipeline is the Justify Content alignment option? surprised with all the bells and whistles that something so fundamental got missed....
The team is actively working on more basic features, in addition to the larger 'bells and whistles'. Stay tuned. :)

Awesome effect. But how can we use this practically on a wenpage? Do we export it as a certain type of file and then convert it in html in order to place it on a website? Thanks
XD is for prototyping. You'd then hand this over to a developer that could implement it in code.
oh i see ,so then whats the difference with using psd to create the prototype?
Ronni Zag it's interactive
@@AsToNlele now i see the difference. So you can see it in action how is look like. So you can put some movement in elements and those elements can have movement when you convert it in html?

3:50 so what are the steps to get that effect?
This update is huge! can't wait to use it.
Nice but I wish they would incorporate the timeline from Adobe animate so we can do better animations.
That's something the team is definitely looking into.
@@HowardPinsky Sweet!!!! Btw any news on a Dark Mode?

Can it be exported for web in HTML5 ? What are the options after the design is done.
I need to learn XD.
time trigger not shown in my adobe xd what can i do for showing time in auto animation ???
i just have a quick question, how would you animate the website in a website?
Adobe must include import to PSD option in XD, just like Illustrator.
You've been able to import PSD files for a few months now. Check my channel. :)

only on the web. there is a disclaimer that web support is coming soon.
