Hi,

Saola Animate doesn’t support EPS files.
You can convert them to raster images (PNG, JPG…) or vector images (SVG) to import into Saola Animate projects.

sorry i’m not an expert, i tried to import as an SVG but i’m kinda stuck because there is all my elements but it’s one image. is there a way for me to redefine every elements(hand, arm, head, body)?

Hi,

You can adjust properties in Background Image section and Position & Size section so that it only shows a certain part:

However, saving each parts as a separated files before importing them into Saola Animate is faster.

thanks a lot, i ended up importing images and now i have an other problem, i create a sprite sheet but the image is bigger than my scene. Somehow when i try to resize the sprite sheet it doesn’t work

Hi,

After creating a sprite sheet, you must switch Background Image X, Y, Width, Height unit to % so that the background will be scaled proportionally with the image element.
