    Was the option to edit posts removed recently or is it an issue with my browser?

     

    This is what I see when I press the ...More button:

     

    Is it a feature or a bug?

    Animate & Premiere

    Hello.

    I have been making animations for several years. Short films of about 10 minutes. I have recently become an Adobe Animate CC and Premiere user. I have a problem with insufficient quality of the final movie.

    My experience is good with Adobe Flash CS and Final Cut Pro. The result was very satisfying.

    Now the animation produced with Animate is of excellent quality, but I can't find which export format works best to go to Premiere with the highest quality. I have done many tests (including QuickTime which was the solution I used with the old software) but the result is disappointing for lack of sharpness.

    Can you advise me on the best choices to make, with Animate and with Premiere. In particular, which transfer file format should I use?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Jean Claude,

     

    I always use PNG sequence + WAV audio export which produces lossless quality sources to bring into Premiere.

     

    Hope this helps!

    Thank you for the opportunity. Where can learn about tweening? I'm working on a tutorial in the app, but it took me to a message stating to add tween then click next. I followed the prompts but I would like to request some assistance, thank you.

    I seem to have stopped getting email notifications a couple of days ago.

    Is that so for everyone or only a problem on my end?

    I'm still getting mine, Nick! You must have gremlins! 😄

    Hope you get (or you have already got) it sorted!

    Thank you for responding, Greg!

     

    I have no idea what the reason could be. I stopped getting any on 5th May and only received a random one yesterday.

    It could be due to some filtering then, but it's a company email address that I have no control of.

     

    For now I'll have to get into the habit of checking the bell.

     

    Hope you're well!

    Take care!

    Hello, and thank you for taking my question: Has the 3D Rotation tool been removed from Adobe Animate?

    Colin Holgate

    The 3D Rotation tool and 3D Translation tool are still there, but can only be used in ActionScript 3.0 FLAs. They won't work in HTML5 Canvas.

    For tools that seem like they are missing, click on the three dots in order to edit the tools. Drag any that you want to add from the full set, into the tools palette area.

    Hello All. Im a graphic designer at a small agency & just starting out in Animate, and am looking for resources or any helpful info. As good and in depth as Ive made them, passing my GIFs out of Photoshop to a programmer isn't cutting it for my boss anymore, so its time for me to sink or swim. Pretty apprehensive with the backend things, click tags etc but believe my teams web dev & media dept can assist. Gonna run thru a bunch of tutorials today. Simple things like understanding the timeline and where things are located are still forgein to me. Any guiding info is appreaciated! Thanks and stay safe!

    Hi.

     

    Here are some content that I think will help you to get started.

     

    The official help has lot of articles, tutorials, and examples:

    https://helpx.adobe.com/support/animate.html

     

    Animate CC also ships with great learning content. Just go to the start screen and select the LEARN option in the top-left corner of the screen.

     

    LinkedIn Learning has some great video courses (mainly the ones from Dermot O' Connor and Joseph Labrecque):

    https://www.linkedin.com/learning/

     

    Pluralsight also have some great video courses:

    https://www.pluralsight.com/

     

    Carl Schoof, from Snorkl.tv, has some great video courses as well for beginners:

    https://courses.snorkl.tv/

     

    Nick Tilcheff, from EDAP Tools, has some really interesting materials for animators:

    http://flash-powertools.com/tag/edap-tools/

     

    You can also search on YouTube. Besides the official channel, there are authors like Chris Georgenes, Alan Becker, Andrea Gerstmann, and BaM Animation that have really great stuff.

     

    I wish you a great learning adventure!

     

     

    Regards,

    Hello, thank you for suggesting such a broad range of resources! Which do you think are the most beginner-friendly? I'm finding that the in-app tutorials need to be more specific as to which frame to use in each step, as well as which panel is required to do certain actions, etc. I also tried watching a beginner's video from the Adobe site but it went too quickly to read what the different tools were. At this point I've spent several hours trying to learn with few results, so I'm going to need resources that explain things more effectively if I'm going to stick with Adobe products for animation moving forward. Your top picks for free, clearly explained resources for beginners would be greatly appreciated!

    I notice none of the forums have unique banner graphics anymore. Are they ever coming back?
