I don't know anything about FB ads, but if you need to create some GIFs from your SVG animations, check out @chrisgannon's SVG2GIF.

thanks but i make my animations in Adobe Animate..and get a .html with .js file

 

i think it isn't possible for the way i work, sad because i could make a lot of animations for Facebook

 

the other way is in animated gif...but that are more pictures in a row...

Hello, I moved this post to the GSAP banner animation and ads forum since that is the appropriate forum to be in for this post topic

Yeah, Facebook doesn't do anything with HTML5 ads, but you can use video. Animate CC does a great job of exporting scripted GSAP animations as video without dropping any frames.

oke thanks, you mean there is a export in Animate to video?

 

javascript/html, jpeg, oam, svg(pictures) is the only thing i see...

 

Sorry i see some youtube's, im gonna jump in it

Correction: If you use GSAP and AS3 scripting then you get great video exports from Animate CC. It doesn't appear that video export works for scripted animations with canvas / javascript.

AS3 > MP4 does a great job - no interactivity of course but for hiRes with lots of items animating concurrently it works better than the SWF.

Shame it doesn't work with canvas but I've found that it doesn't take much to convert JS to AS3 and export from the FLA anyway.
