Convertify
γ³γ³γγΌγ
Motion designers love After Effects, but prepping files for them can be tedious. Convertify exports selected frames into .aep-friendly JSON/Lottie structures so animators can jump straight into their workflow. Typography, vectors, and hierarchy stay intact, which means less back-and-forth.
Make motion-ready files
Before exporting, I tidy layers, name groups clearly, and outline any complex shapes. Convertify translates that structure into a format After Effects understands. Motion teams import it, and all the prep work is already done.
Collaboration tips
- Ask the motion designer which effects or expressions they plan to use so you can prep assets accordingly.
- Include notes or references along with the export to explain timing, easing, or intent.
- After they finish, you can even bring parts of the animation back into Figma via Lottie for prototyping.
Convertify makes the handoff feel more like teamwork and less like a file dump.
Iterate without friction
When design changes land mid-production, update the frame in Figma and rerun Convertify. Motion designers receive an updated bundle with identical structure, so they can swap assets without rebuilding comps. That keeps timelines on track even when product teams keep iterating.
Bonus: reusable libraries
Store commonly animated components (logos, illustration systems) in a shared Figma page and export them via Convertify whenever motion needs them. Everyone stays aligned on the latest art direction, and your After Effects projects stop accumulating outdated assets.
