Junior Frontend Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good choice for powerful and effective animations." February 28, 2023 5.0 Overall adobe animate has been a really good tool for creating very powerful and well illustrative and appealing animations but its 3d capabilities need to be even more improved. Pros The platform support across windows mac and even mobile devices is really too good that i will mention it as the first thing that i liked the most. The animations and transitions, image editing, text overlay, drag and drop all these tools are very effective and help me create really powerful animations. Cons I feel the adobe animate is little more resource intensive especially while working with more complex and detailed animations of larger file size. Also i feel the 3d animation capabilities need to be even more enhanced. Review Source AS Amy S.

September 8, 2021 5.0 For the creative wishing to dapple in animation, this is exactly where you want to start. It is like the friendly guide showing you the ropes and then letting you have a turn. I made some interesting intros and animated logos within the first day. It only progressed from there Pros You can be brand new at this skill and still create impressive content through Adobe Animate. This product is so beneficial in instruction and is about as user-friendly as these platforms can get. Cons Cost. Worth it? Absolutely. However, thinking outside the box, many of those looking to start out in animation may not be in a place where this price fits their budget.

May 6, 2022 5.0 A rather interesting experience, I took my needs from this program to build some of my own projects. Pros One of its strongest features is that it supports the Motion Editor feature and timeline, and all this to get a more realistic and natural image. A very powerful Deco tool with which I can do different effects for trees, flowers, etc. In general, 3D effects can be made for a wide range of images and animations. Animate gives us all the tools needed to make simple and complex animations. Cons Add coding to your animations for things like randomness, so you have to know some action scripting.

It generates excellent animations, and the ease of making them is gratifying.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "animate" September 24, 2023 5.0 this is a tool that allows me to create vector animations designed on adobe illustrator more easily Pros it's a must-have tool for vector animation, plus it offers many features for 2D animation, including advanced tools for importing files from other software. Cons it presents a lot of tools and functions, so it takes a lot of time to learn how to manipulate these tools and navigate through the different windows Alternatives considered [Adobe After Effects](https://www.capterra.com/p/233259/Adobe-After-Effects/) Reason for choosing Adobe Animate due to a range of 2D animation functions Review Source bK beta K. founder Animation Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Another great software from adobe" December 11, 2022 4.0 Overall, Adobe Animate is a powerful and versatile animation software that is well-suited for a wide range of projects. It has a steep learning curve, but the wide range of tools and features make it a great choice for experienced animators. Pros One of the biggest advantages of Adobe Animate is its versatility. With a wide range of tools and features, users can create complex animations with a high degree of control over the look and feel of their creations. The software also integrates seamlessly with other Adobe products, such as Photoshop and Illustrator, allowing users to incorporate assets from those programs into their animations. Cons However, one potential drawback of Adobe Animate is its learning curve. The software has a lot of features and tools, and it can take some time to learn how to use them effectively. Additionally, the software can be resource-intensive, so users with older computers may experience performance issues. Review Source dN duncan N.

Freelancer Animation Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Creates professional looking content" January 3, 2022 4.0 This was a fabulous experience with great project results. Pros Animate is not only used for creating presentation videos, but also gives you the ability to generate games and/or ads and publish them on a variety of web based platforms. I would say that the price for renting this software monthly, with all the tools that it has to offer, is fair when you join Creative Cloud. The interface has been arranged very well with the tools panel on one side, the library of symbols and control panels on the other and the bottom timeline, all of which surround the composition. This was all very easy to get a good understanding of, along with learning about the possibilities of what projects you can create with it. Cons Prices to rent can vary in different countries.
