Adobe Animate

Adobe Animate is an animation studio where you can create interactive animation designs for games, TV shows, ads, web, and mobile.

Adobe Animate offers advanced animation capabilities with an intuitive interface, making it ideal for beginners and professionals alike. With this tool, you can do all of your asset design and coding right inside the same app.

Adobe Animate supports many different types of animation, including motion tweens, classic tweens, inverse kinematics poses, shape tweens, and frame-by-frame animation.

This software offers basic tools like vector brushes that allow you to customize parameters such as shape and angle. You can even choose, edit, and create custom brushes based on your needs.

Use the camera feature to mimic virtual camera movement. When using the camera view, you’ll see the layers as though you were looking through the camera. Add keyframes or tweens on the camera layer for smooth transitions.

Zoom in on the object for dramatic effect or zoom out of a frame to show the larger scene. You can also pan with the subject, modify the focal point, rotate the camera, or use filters to apply color effects to the scene.

Organize and control your content in layers and frames on the Timeline. You’ll see the document’s layers listed in a column on the left side. The frames will appear on to the right of the layer name.

Place frames on the Timeline in the order that you want these objects to appear in the frames of your finished product. You can edit multiple frames and customize insert keyframes.

The Onion skinning tool allows you to compare the previous and next frames so that you can adjust the objects in the current frame to your liking.

Once your animation is complete, you can publish directly to Twitter or YouTube as a video or animated GIF. Export your assets as HTML 5 Canvas, WebGL, Flash/Adobe AIR, 4K video, and even SVG files.
