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.

Features

Integration with other Adobe products

We have found the interface to be slightly challenging to learn for new teammates

Interface is awesome

It perfectly fits the other Adobe programs, thus easy to learn when you are familiar with the programs already.

The fact that Adobe always work on imporving its programs, good to see that new features are coming

The processing time for exporting animation can be long somtimes. But overall is faster than premiere pro

There are limited effects one can use (when compared to after effects)

A bigger content library

Importing assets

User friendly

Advanced animation

Support seems less than other Adobe products

Other tech in the space has advanced capability

More templates needed

Vector Graphics.

Interactive Projects.

Easier to use.

Wish it was more intuitive for beginners.

Integration with software other than Adobe.

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.

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.

Ability to make animated elements

Cross-functionality

Integration with other Adobe programs

Cumbersome interface

Dated technology

Limited capabilities

Presents the website quickly

Allows me to interact with older interfaces

The amount of updates we need to push out for Flash is ridiculous.

The security of the application seems suspect.

Responsive and intuitive interface.

Integration with other Adobe software.

Multi-faceted.

Option to purchase versions outright (no subscription option).

Easier to access educational materials.

Simple to use with user-friendly controls

Code snippets allow novice users to code

Allows me to combine multiple media assets easily

Limited 3D capability

We find many handheld cell phones can't support our adobe flash materials

Can take time to load media as it is a heavy program

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

Flash allows for unlimited creativity! You can really do whatever you desire and don't feel restricted by the software.

It's fairly easy to import assets, and lots of them.

Minimal to no programming skills are required - which is especially important because programmers are typically not designers, and vice versa.

Unfortunately, Flash is dying because of compatibility issues. Users are increasingly viewing websites on mobile devices, and Flash animations will not work in these cases.

Very soon, almost all of the major browsers will be blocking Flash, which is obviously a problem!

Flash provides decent 2D options, but it's pretty limited in 3D capabilities.

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.

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.

Rich media - Adobe's goal for Flash is to "deliver more secure and consistent HD quality video across mobile devices, TVs, and desktops."

Good interactivity - Using some of the professional software can allow you to interact with a program, such as games.

Vast Browser Compatibility - Flash can be used across most common web browsers, including IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Opera.

Bugs and crashes - like most software, sometimes websites run too slow and Flash would crash while loading certain graphics and animations on websites (or stop playing media).

Consistent security patches - very critical for Flash, but if you do not have the latest version, vulnerability is likely to happen.

Not suitable for mobile websites - you cannot download or use Flash on smartphones, such as iPhones or Android devices.

Nice, simple vectored drawing environment (I prefer it to the more complicated Adobe Illustrator for most projects)

Animation (this is the main selling point of Flash/Animate Pro)

Powerful scripting language (ActionScript), now having the ability to also use JavaScript

Better error reporting in testing code

Better seamless move from ActionScript to JavaScript

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.

Easy to study

A lot of documentation on web

Stable

Some compatibility problems with softwares

Interpolations difficult to manage

Need time to study its functionality
