Live After Effects layers straight from Sketch artboards

Sketch layers may now be imported into After Effects without redrawing everything in Illustrator. Avoid the startling realization that you have to repeat the whole import process simply because you forgot to split one element out onto its own layer or that type has to be converted into live text as an additional process per layer.

Quickly export selected layers or a whole artboard from Sketch with type metrics, transform data, images, symbol hierarchy, and grouping intact. It's little bit better than the native Illustrator => AE import. Hooray.

Elliott Erwitt arrived in Pittsburgh in September of 1950 looking to prove his worth.

Just 22 years old, he had traveled to the City of Bridges at the invitation of Roy Stryker, the former head of the Farm Security Administration’s documentary photography program, which during the 1930s and ’40s commissioned some of the century’s most enduring images by the likes of Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange.

1) Download the .Sketch file

2) Edit the symbols and see how they are set up.

3) Change images and focal points and see how they change when you resize them in the main artboard.
