What programs can I use to replace Adobe Animate (since Adobe is ending support)? I need to save in html format. Even some non Adobe programs.

I use Animate when I need to make a complicated morph. This cannot be done well in any other software as far as I know. AE does only very basic morphing. Anyone know another program that can do precise morphing?

I would also like to know what options are available for the same purposes. The official recommendation is to use Adobe After Effects, but (if I am not mistaken) I do not think AE has support for html5 canvas and JavaScript.

there’s certainly no adobe app that can come close to animate’s capabilities creating canvas/html5 projects
