  • need to animate flowcharts, how to? Plugins?

    Posted by Keith Mann on January 2, 2011 at 12:40 am

    I have to animate flowcharts. I can import them as powerpoint or photoshop, or can just hand build within after effects. Does AFX do this natively? Or is there a plugin I can buy that will do it?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Keith –

    Red Giant has a plugin called Datamator, but I don’t think it will do flowcharts – I believe it’s just made for graphs and pie charts.

    I think your best bet would be to bring in layered files from Photoshop. I haven’t had much luck in the past going from Powerpoint to After Effects. With Photoshop you can keep your files at high resolution, and have as many layers as it takes to create animated flowcharts.
