Any way to use Symbols including effects in other Apple Apps (FCPX, Keynote)

Hello,

I've discovered symbols and it gave me idea that if use them in FCPX or Keynote, it would be lot easier to tell story to people. It is minimalistic and huge library. For example, in a camera review, I would use symbols to describe buttons of it, so in a long run, all cameras have same buttons as working but in different shapes and locations, in a language of symbols, it would a lot easier to understand especially in classic film cameras. 📸

This is my first post in Developer Forums, so Hello World!

Thanks.

For Keynote you can:

  • right click on images in the SF Symbols app
  • select Copy image
  • then paste in to Keynote

I believe by default it pastes in SVG format, but you also have the option to Copy image as Where you can choose SVG or PNG and some options.

You can also copy multiple symbols at once which is a nice touch.
