Studio combines design, prototyping, and collaboration into one harmonious workflow. It starts with a live design environment, which gives you the power to create intelligent layouts and interactions as part of your normal workflow.
Studio enables designers to move fluidly between visual and interaction design. Any type of layer (including artboards) can have one or more interactions. If a layer has interactions, you can see the layer marked with the small lightning icon in the layer list on the left side of Studio.
Take your simple interactions and animations to the next level with advanced motion that lets you modify the global duration and delay, or edit in Timeline.
The comprehensive animation editor for Studio, Timeline gives you complete control over every aspect of your prototyping interactions. Timeline presents a compact visual overview of your animation timing and layer hierarchy, allowing precise control over each animated property. Timeline makes it easier to manage complex transitions and fine-tune the delay, timing, easing adjustments, and speed of animated layers and properties. Use Timeline to edit all your animated interactions—adjusting each interaction layer by layer or as a whole.
After creating your prototype in Studio, you can publish that prototype to InVision Cloud where you can preview interactions and animations, leave comments, and inspect elements.
At any point in the design and prototyping process, Studio allows you to sync directly to your InVision account to share and collaborate on your project. Once you’ve synced to InVision, you’ll be able to view your prototype in all of it’s animated glory, gather feedback from stakeholders, and get developers what they need to begin building.
When you open a Studio prototype on the web, you see exactly what you saw in the InVision preview window. The same fidelity, the same interactions, the same animations—the same everything. When it’s time to share, you can head down to the Share button in the bottom right hand corner, choose Copy Link, and send it off anywhere you like. Anyone with a link to your prototype will be able to view it in its full fidelity and leave comments.
