animation in ipad app

Question

I want to do some animations with the 2d graphics, pretty simple stuff but a little more involved that transformations. I could accomplish this easily in after effects and output a .mov or gif but is there a way to play this in a view within an ipad app?

What's the best way to go about animations?

Answer 1

Not well. Best option is to use Core Animation for your animation needs.

Answer 2

You can also use a 2d framework like cocos2d http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/ which is very easy to use.
