Powerful and Versatile Animation Software: Adobe Animate Review
One of the strongest features of Adobe Animate is its vector-based drawing tools, which allow users to create smooth, scalable graphics. The software also has a robust Timeline and motion editor, which makes it easy to create complex animations, such as tweening and inverse kinematics. Additionally, the software supports a wide range of file formats, making it easy to import and export graphics, sound, and video.
- 2D Character Animation: Adobe Animate's bone rigging and inverse kinematics features make it easy to animate 2D characters, allowing for realistic movement and facial expressions. This makes it a great tool for creating animated shorts, explainer videos, and interactive games.
- Interactive Animation: Adobe Animate's support for HTML5 Canvas and WebGL allows for the creation of interactive animations that can be played on web browsers, without the need for any plugins. This makes it an ideal tool for creating interactive infographics, ads, and games that can be played on any device.
- Animated web banners: Adobe Animate can export animations in the form of HTML5, which can be embedded in web pages, allowing for the creation of interactive and animated web banners and ads.
- Interactive e-learning content: Adobe Animate can be used to create interactive e-learning content, such as interactive quizzes, simulations, and interactive videos. It's also possible to create interactive text books and interactive animations with Adobe Animate.
- Interactive video: Adobe Animate also allows you to create interactive videos, that include animations, quizzes, and interactive elements, making it an ideal tool for creating engaging and interactive video content.
- 3D Animation: Adobe Animate is primarily a 2D animation software, and while it does have some basic 3D features, it is not as robust as specialized 3D animation software like Autodesk Maya or Blender. This can be limiting for animators who want to create more complex 3D animations.
- Camera control: Adobe Animate's camera control is limited and not as advanced as other animation software. This can make it difficult to create more advanced 3D animations or even 2D animations with different camera angles and movements.

An easy tool to do simple animation
Our company sometimes have request to do some video clips, however some of them can't be done in Adobe Premiere Pro, that's the reason why I use Adobe Animate from time to time. It's very straight-forward and easy to use, as long as you have the experience of using Adobe AI or PS, you can get through it pretty fast.
- Similar UI with Adobe PR, easy to use
- clear functions
- fast export
- more tween would be better
- more pre-set motions
- hard to find the layer panel

Adobe Animate - a solid tool within the Adobe Suite
I use Adobe Animate to animate logos that I design. In addition, I make splash pages as needed for clients. Adobe Animate makes it easy to utilize Adobe suite and all Adobe software for all creative assets vs another tool where you would have to utilize clunky importing and exporting tools.
- Importing assets
- User friendly
- Advanced animation
- Support seems less than other Adobe products
- Other tech in the space has advanced capability
- More templates needed

General Satisfaction with Adobe Animate
We endeavored to develop another site from the beginning concluded Adobe Animate was the best programming, to begin with. There was an expectation to absorb information to address, and a coding language to learn, yet since Adobe Animate is so broadly utilized there are huge loads of recordings and assets to hold your hand as you develop your portfolio.
- The adaptability of what Adobe Animate can do makes it so helpful. You can accomplish something basic like make a ball bob on-screen over certain letters prior to showing your logo, or something more mind-boggling like building up a vivified short to show.
- Utilizing Adobe Animate recordings on sites is typical, so individuals are accustomed to seeing it and have the essential modules introduced as of now.
- The records are little, and the pressure is extremely smooth. This aids in the event that you are attempting to send substance to cell phones or essentially keep your site impression little to guarantee quick stacking times.
- It's being supplanted in 2020 so it no doubt does not merit learning for any individual who hasn't utilized it previously. Apple gadgets don't get along with Adobe Animate recordings either, and that is an enormous client base.
- Its battery utilization for cell phones is poor, and likely will not be tended to because of HTML5 supplanting it in a year
- One of our unique purposes behind utilizing Adobe Animate was for liveliness, yet Toon Boom (a contender) is truly better set up for that task. With worked in mouth synchronize capacities, it does a great deal of the busy work for you, that Flash caused you to do yourself.

Adobe Flash - Was fun while it lasted
We attempted to build a new website from the ground up and decided Flash was the best software to start with. There was a learning curve to address, and a coding language to learn, but since Flash is so widely used there are tons of videos and resources to hold your hand as you build up your portfolio.
- The scalability of what Flash can do makes it so useful. You can do something simple like make a ball bounce on screen over some letters before showing your logo, or something more complex such as developing an animated short to display.
- Using Flash videos on websites is very commonplace, so people are used to seeing it and have the necessary plugins installed already.
- The files are very small, and the compression is very smooth. This helps if you are trying to send content to mobile devices or simply keep your website footprint small to ensure fast loading times.
- It's being replaced in 2020 so it most likely is not worth learning for anyone who hasn't used it before. Apple devices don't play nice with Flash videos either, and that's a large user base.
- Its battery consumption for mobile devices is poor, and probably won't be addressed due to HTML5 replacing it in a year
- One of our original reasons for using Flash was for animation, but Toon Boom (a competitor) is really better set up for that task. With built-in mouth synch capabilities, it does a lot of the busywork for you, that Flash made you do yourself.

Adobe Flash Review
Adobe Flash is used widely throughout our company, specifically by our Stategic Partnership team for various marketing campaigns. In my department specifically, marketing, we use Flash a lot to make our clients' experiences more interesting and interactive. It also makes it easier to watch videos, stream webinars and has improved our video chat
- I love that Flash enables my internet browsers to expand their capabilities because it really makes websites come to life.
- Flash allows cross-functionality under all platforms and is visually consistent across all browsers
- From Marketing perspective, the creative ability of Flash is exceptional. If used properly, the animation features such as moving pictures, words and sounds around help create flashy projects.
- There are too many updates and they are constantly popping up - especially during the middle of a projects, which causes me to shut down the application and restart the program. Wastes time.
- There is no mobile browser or device support. Limits a lot of projects - especially apps.
- Flash player can require a lot of RAM and battery

My Adobe Flash Review
Adobe Flash is software that is used to stream and/or view video, audio and multimedia on a computer or supported mobile device. My company, in general, uses Adobe Flash because we stream and view videos that our brands produce in other countries and have to stream them here so we can generate them, change its language and add the appeal to our U.S. consumers.
- Adobe Flash is used more in the advertising industry today which is good for me due to I am in the marketing department at my job. It shows graphics and texts with animations. The app also permits streaming of both video and audio clips.
- Adobe Flash and its latest program is designed to deliver engaging video and audio playbacks, universal reach and the very best user experience, this helps Adobe Flash with its consistent and loyal user base.
- Adobe Flash is compatible with many different browsers, which is overall a great tool for multiple companies running with different browsers.
- Certain websites, platforms and applications that use Adobe Flash technology have always seemed to be slower than the sites that do not use it.
- Those who want to use flash to watch and/or stream movies, in order to watch these movies with the Adobe Flash application, Flash Player needs to be installed. A lot of people now do not want to download more applications to their computer due to space and viruses.
- Accessibility is a concern with Flash. Things need to be properly coded and someone who is not well versed in Adobe Applications, might have issues with things like changing text and/or having alternative text.

Flash is good in a Flash for App Building
We use Adobe Flash to stream and view video, audio and multimedia and (RIA) - basically, our digital content across different platforms. We use it instead of standard television or other advertising. I deal with the creative aspects.
- It's great across platforms for creating media for devices.
- It's easy to debug and test. This way i know i'm putting out quality.
- Color coding in the code builder (syntax) helps me visually organize and see my code easily, being a visual person.
- Gradients in Flash take up too many resources without using an exterior program first. It would be nice to integrate them.
- Easier preparation of masked objects so they don't have to be brought in from another program without adding to the file size.
- Better response to overlapping animations.
It's used primarily as a tool for making ad banners if the kilobyte count is fairly high, otherwise it's used on computers where we don't have a license of ToonBoom Harmony for animation. Harmony is an expensive program and most of the computers here have a license for Adobe Creative Suite so Flash/Animate are fine programs in a pinch but ideally we want something with nicer drawing tools. Usually we get the rough drawings and timing figured out in Flash and then do animation clean-up within Photoshop's timeline tools if Harmony is not available.
- Easy to learn and get started in.
- Versatile, it plays nicely between all the programs in the Adobe Suite.
- A safe environment to learn how to program a game.
- Drawing tools!! The lines in the brush just look pretty ugly. It would be nice if there was a way to choose between optimizing Flash for online export and to use for video pieces.
- Program can be unstable and can slow down if you aren't mindful of how you are using it.
- Many glitches in the program are still present ever since I first started using it nearly 10 years ago.
