Question

Apple Silicon / M1 Native Support for Adobe Animate?

Animate runs pretty well and fast on M1 Macs under Rosetta 2, but will Animate be updated as a M1 native app for its 2023 release? I don't see any Animate Beta app on CC, so very curious to find out if you Adobe peeps can give us the inside scoop on the near future. Thanks!

      Hi! any news on this? The performance in new Macs is just a shame. I cant think how Animate, the 3rd most visited Adobe suite app in this forum, isnt yet released to Apple Silicon, I see this as a lack of care for Adobe's customers.

       

      I've already write it in the link Kglad pointed out, but also wanted to said pubicly.

        Hello, I think the update will come between October 9-12. Animate finally gets silicon processor support.
        You can look from here;

            M1 performance on the 5K monitor is absolutely atrocious with Animate. They clearly don't give a sh@t about this software.

              Well, indeed Animate runs under Rosetta 2 but the performance is far from being optimal, and if you are working with a retina display the performance is horrible. Is worst than a 10-12 years old laptop.

               

              So can you work with Animate in Apple Silicon Macs? yes.

              would it be better than your 7 years old computer?  NO

               

              Only difference is RAM, you can take advantage of more RAM in the newer system (I could copy larger amount of layers in the 64GB MacS than in the 16GB rMBP). But if you can upgrade your old system's RAM, that would be the best option for Animate yet.

                you can search for a public roadmap (but i doubtful you'll find a current one).  inside info is subject to an nda so it can't be shared.
