As a follow up on my SVG tricks with GSAP in Storyline i now show you how to edit color and outlines of a SVG from Illustrator directly in Storyline. Even animate it with GSAP. Directly importing it...

Only thing i am missing...is no need for injecting custom wrapper into the Illustrator svg or possibly a Illustrator script that automatically exports the SVG with the added wrapper. As that makes it way easier for non-scripters to use.

Apparently a script isnot that hard... this is a basic SVG export script from Illustrator.
Just have to figure out how and where to add the custom wrapper...

function exportFileAsSvg(path) {
    const options = new ExportOptionsWebOptimizedSVG();
    options.compressed = false;
    options.coordinatePrecision = 3;
    options.cssProperties = SVGCSSPropertyLocation.PRESENTATIONATTRIBUTES;
    options.fontSubsetting = SVGFontSubsetting.None;
    options.fontType = SVGFontType.SVGFONT;
    options.svgResponsive = false;

    app.activeDocument.exportFile(new File(path), ExportType.WOSVG, options);
}

exportFileAsSvg("X:\\foo.svg")
