Where the design community meets.
6 years ago from Demian Borba, Product Manager for Adobe XD
I also use AE and PS together so I can share my workflow if its useful. Sometimes, a set of interactions is too complex to describe or if I have specific animations in mind, it is better to just show them off to developers / clients. I will flatten my PSD to only contain the layers I want to animate then import it into AE and animate it. Here are a few examples:

Importing the XD file into AE and use it to create UI animations. The same way you can do it with an PSD or AI file. A better option would be to have animation capabilities in XD and an export option similar to Bodymovin.

Have feedback?
Can you tell us a bit more about what from XD you'd like to bring into After Effects and what you'd do want to do once there?
Regarding device support, we're open to bringing XD to any platform where there is demand from designers. That said, before expanding to additional platforms, there are some core capabilities that we still need to bring to our desktop Mac and Windows apps.
Thanks, Andrew (Adobe).
