Adobe Animate

Formerly Flash

Adobe Animate is very useful for creating high-quality graphics, cartoon, web application, web show, etc. And it is also very easy to use and some content is free to use as well. Every organization wants to use these types of software for photoshop. Every software has some drawback also and in adobe animate the subscription is one the major drawback and otherwise it's all good.

It is not for High End Designing, for that you have After Effects. It is best suited for beginners and for the ones with moderate experience in the art of Vector Illustration. And the learning curve can be a bit steep, so you might need constant support using it, which is available in the Behance community.

Scenarios where Adobe Animate is well suited:2D animation for web, mobile, and video games: Adobe Animate is well suited for creating 2D animations for web, mobile, and video games. With its vector-based drawing tools, bone rigging, and inverse kinematics features, it's easy to create smooth, scalable graphics and realistic movement.Scenarios where Adobe Animate is less appropriate:Complex 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.

Adobe is well suited when utilizing other Adobe products or creating something with all the platforms however it is limited when combining programs.

For starters it is perfect and especially when you know the Adobe programs well. However, when you have more a advanced assignments and your client is asking for more effects, Animate is not your program anymore. Therfore the level of professional annimations one can make is limited. But for a specific group of users it is perfectly fine, and even fun because you can see results of your work quickly.

Animating logos is a great use case for Adobe Animate. In addition, working with Adobe Animate and XD together is handy when working on UI and mocking up apps and websites.

Well suited for the past, not well suited for the future. With fewer and fewer platforms that accept Flash, and a hard deadline of no more support from Adobe in 2020, it's a dinosaur - was very cool and ruled the world in its day, but doomed to extinction. Still, you can still recognize some cartoons and videos as being made by Flash just by their look, and that's impressive brand recognition.

Adobe is particularly well-suited for workplaces that understand its basic functionality but may be lacking in highly-skilled coders or programmers. Adobe continues to successfully bridge the gap between sophisticated users and practical users and makes it easy for novice computer users to create meaningful content and to code proficiently.

Adobe Flash is good to use when you need to create little commercials or ads that use animation on your website or social media. For example, when my brands send me Flash files in their language and or/pertains to their area, I can copy some of their graphics and make my own Flash file but adding in English animation pop up art and/or change the overall music/voice layover into something that will pertain to my U.S. audience.

Also, when I worked for a grocery store chain, I used to make 30 second animation ads that would pop up different items and different prices in a short commercial like video that I would post onto social media.

It is well suited for scenarios for desktop and laptop PC websites, but not if you are wanting to view a Flash website on a mobile device or tablet.
You mainly use it to view digital media, animations, and other graphics that would require Flash. However, if Flash continues to crash when you visit a specific website on a web browser, you would need to either update it or uninstall it and find a better alternative, such as HTML5.

Flash/Animate Pro is well suited for creating animation sequences. Coupled with the drawing capabilities, it is a great environment for cartooning. But I think its greatest feature is the ability to create interactive cross-platform apps for WIndows, Android, and iOS devices. Unfortunately, this is a mostly-hidden ability. Adobe does not market much to this capability nor does the mobile development industry tout Flash/Animate Pro much. Great for prototyping apps as well.

It's very useful for all the multimedia projects that we are constantly involved with everyday. It's a great bridge between all of the different softwares that we use for creating and editing.

It's well suited for quick simulations and demos. It's good for very rich web interfaces, video delivery, and games.
