The fastest way to get animations in your prototypes (and not only)... just add a tiny bit of CSS.  

Working in Sketch, Figma or Photoshop? Framer offers a fully integrated import workflow, so you can go back and forth as many times as you need. Currently, you can only import a design into Code to start animation.

Animation can be used to tweak the user’s perception of time, so use this in your favour. For the human brain, anything below 0.1 seconds will seem instantaneous and below 1 second will seem seamless. So, if you have a process that takes 6 seconds for instance, you can break it down in a few separate animations. This trick should make the process feel a lot faster and keep your user engaged.

You can also use animation to fake an instant action that will actually take bit longer in the background. This will make the app feel more responsive even though the process still takes longer than what the user sees.

Launchpad allows you to go from Sketch to HTML, and publish websites directly from Sketch. On this update we introduce animations & overlays. 📱 Mobile screens have limited screen space. That’s why…

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.

Animated icons and illustrations in native app on-boarding screens are becoming more popular. They visually delight the user and also help make the experience more intuitive. We’ll take you through…

It's our SVG Sketch-a-thon. We've got Peter Nowell on who's the Sketchmaster to talk about SVG workflows, animation workflow, plugins for Sketch, and how working in software like Sketch is great but you should still know the code.
