So you wanna make animated themes?
Here's my basic guide to making one
I know there is another out there but that didn't work for me and if it didn't work for you either you can try this one:
Open the composer that came w/the Plazmic CDK you installed
Ok here we go... Depending on the animation you're using will determine the set svg
Say you have an animation with 10 frames, make it 11 (you can change this to the far right of the composer on the bottom first box) Also change the speed to what you desire, FPS make sure you select real time and you might have to select 3 to slow it down, or depending what your animation is.
1. click on the animation (image) go to the tool bar above then Object/Convert to animation
2. now on the bottom to the left under the play/pause buttons click the yellow looking clock (timeline actions)
3. now click the blue film strip (first selection/play animation)
4. click on the text under action and event...you will see another box pop up underneath, select loop forever
5. export .svg
6. Load the svg file to your theme
Warning: the animation is going to look different on the phone or in the simulator, it will probably be faster. You can mess around in the composer to slow this down by adding frames in the mid of the animation. It took me sometime to figure this out with trial and error.
