Save reusable layer hierarchies into your library for easy component reuse.Īre you ready to get a sense of how your designs feel on an actual iOS device? Download the native companion app, Kite Compositor for iOS.Įasily import your designs from Sketch with Kite's native import feature.
Set colors, adjust animation curves, add Core Image filters – all at the click of a mouse.ĭrag and drop layers and animations from the library to build your interface visually. Snap animation start and end times together for a precise, hand-tuned feel.Ī robust and powerful object inspector allows you to edit all of your layers’ properties in just a few clicks. The integrated smart timeline allows you to drag and edit animation durations and keyframes. Use the built-in page transitions or take full control and animate to the next page with your custom timeline animation. You can take advantage of the light or dark appearance to seamlessly fit in with the rest of your tools.įactor your design into multiple pages of content – each with its own independent timeline.Įasily transition between the pages of your document in response to events. Scrub through your animation, change tools, play and pause the timeline – all without reaching for the mouse. No more guessing how fast something should move, how large it should grow, or how to ease between keyframesĪ simple, powerful interface that scales and adapts to your needs and the task at hand. Generate zero-dependency Swift or Objective-C code for your animation Or, choose your own presentation window size while iterating.Ĭustomize the background color and transparency of the playback window for a custom look. Present your design in full screen in presentation playback mode. With the pen tool, you can edit animation paths and shape layers right on the canvas. Kite is full of amazing tools and features to help you bring user interfaces to life quickly. Incorporate custom logic and behavior to achieve exactly what you need. Use the built-in JavaScript scripting environment to enhance the detail of each interaction. “It’s kind of like PaintCode but for Core Animation” Add animations and tune them with the integrated timeline. Visually drag and drop layers to build complex interfaces on a WYSIWYG canvas. I could imagine them closing it due to it being a bit of a subjective question.“It’s kind of like Sketch meets After Effects” This might be a better question to ask in stackoverflow as you are asking what a developer needs from a designer. the app architecture which shows the content on each page and how they link.an overlaid grid at the main resolution of key app screens (no need to show repeating designs) that explicitly states the positioning of elements (x px, y px).The goal is to make it as easy as possible for them to integrate what it is you are trying to do.Īt the most basic level you should provide: Therefore, you should ask the developer that you are working with what they need from you to develop the app. As UI/UX designers, our goal for the app developer is that they build out the app as we had imagined it. What type of files, prototypes designers should provide for the developer considering different cases?Įach app developer has their own method for building and there are numerous ways to do it, as such, there is no set method. What are other technologies developers use to create animations? Flow is able to generate Swift code, Framer does it as well. Some design tools are able to export into Swift or Objective C. In this case, the developer has to code everything himself. IOS has different animation API, like UIView so a developer can recreate animation from a video or designer can explain it in words. The developer just gets the file and uses it as is, no more additional efforts for him. For a designer, it's easy to provide JSON file since it can be generated with Bodymovin plugin in AfterEffects. I know Lottie works best for animating micro-interactions and creating an animated illustration, like those on onboarding pages. I'm a designer and interested in different ways I can handoff animation to iOS developers and the best ways to do that depending on a particular case.
