You're welcome!


If you'd like to do a lot more with SVG in Motion, you can actually upload your SVG Paths to a *free* font making site like https://icomoon.io/app and convert your SVG Paths to font characters. THEN, you can use them to build 3D Models!

Going off in a slightly different direction, but one which may also be useful in some instances: if you own Pixelmator Pro, you can open an SVG file, and export directly as a Motion project. The potential use of this is that, if you do it like that, you will have access to each vector object in the SVG as a separate layer in Motion, which you then can animate in any way you like.

Wow that is pretty nifty. I use Figma for my vector designs, but Pixelmator Pro appears to handle both vector and bitmaps quite well. And at a reasonable fixed price (no subscription), its capability to translate those designs as vector shapes in Motion is indeed quite powerful. I think I'm sold lol thanks for sharing that!
