Very excited to see animate get official apple silicon support! I opened up some of my larger project files and it runs so much smoother now, and the newer smaller user interface looks great - Currently running Sonoma - will report if there are any issues. Congrats to Adobe for finally bringing much need native apple silicon support!

It might have important bug fixes, but it also created some.

 

[working on Mac Ventura] Like the 'missing fonts' function when opening a document which uses fonts currently not installed on your system. Previously when you did that you would get a popup window indicating that certain fonts were missing so you could either replace them or re-open the document after those fonts were installed again. Now it does nothing besides turning all texts that have those missing fonts into Helvetica. I don't notice now that fonts might be missing, besides looking at all the texts in Helvetica. 

 

[working on Mac Sonoma] Another issue is that on a Mac with Sonoma Test Movie doesn't work. It doesn't open the brower (tried it with Safari, Chrome and Firefox) to preview the animation. It seems to do something cause after selecting Test Movie, the 'Output' label appears as usual, but the browser isn't opened. It's Sonoma related. On Ventura it works as usual.

I wonder sometimes

 

I download Blender (open source and free): each release add tons of useful features every 4 months. That includes handy 2d animation features. The upcoming 4.0 release adds many animation improvements that also have a positive impact on 2d animation. Blender does not focus on 2d animation, though. Yet it's really good at that too.

 

And I wonder how such powerful 2d animation features playing at realtime in a 3d environment are possible.

 

I download the latest version of Moho Pro: it received quite impressive new functionality that is truly useful to an animator. And powerful character rigging that actually works and far surpasses Animate.

 

And I wonder how animation software can be forward thinking, effective and assist the animator in reaching their goals.

 

I download for free the newly released Krita 5.2 which received a slew of interesting new features, including 2d animation ones. Krita does not focus on 2d animation.

 

And I wonder how a small group of developers caters for their community of animators by giving them what they ask for.

 

I download the latest release of ClipStudio EX and enjoy the brilliant drawing feel and nice vector and bitmap drawing tools while animating frame-by-frame.

 

And I wonder how useful quality bitmap and vector drawing tools in one animation workflow are.

 

I download for free OpenToonz. Each release is strong, with good bug fixing and many workflow enhancements for 2d animators.

 

And I wonder while animating with all five how awesome 2d animation software can be.

 

Today I read the release notes of Animate 2024.

 

And I wonder...

From day one after the name change the development of Animate has been characterized by impotence: lack of vision and skills.

Apart from anything else, this update is completely like a semi-finished product. The interface UI and color matching are not uniform in width and width and are really ugly.
The comfortable UI appearance has also been removed. I really don’t know what these people are thinking. I even suspect that the animate team no longer has a person in charge.

This update has sooooo many bugs. Like the encoding right away even when encode immediately is unchecked. Fonts... woof. And then importing assets from Illustrator just makes it one big group and has so many clips in the library. Creative pieces without attributes makes ZERO SENSE. There are so many other issues that I'm still finding! Please for the love of everything - fix these issues.

As always with every Animate update, all my jsfl Commands are gone. Every time I have to look for that Commands folder that has some special location (not like other Adobe apps, in Applications subfolders). This time I spend almost an hour trying to find it without any luck. ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/ has some empty "Animate HLAN 2024" folder that doesn't feel right. Could you point to new location of Commands folder?

Open command directory.jsfl
I also share one. The command comes from this website. It can be used on both win and mac.

現在開いているFlashのディレクトリを開きます 

function isMac() {
    return (fl.version.search(/mac/i) > -1);
}
function openDirectory(path) {
    var uri = FLfile.uriToPlatformPath(path);
    if (isMac()) {
        FLfile.runCommandLine("open " + "\"" + uri + "\"");
    } else {
        FLfile.runCommandLine("explorer " + "\"" + uri + "\"");
    }
}
openDirectory(fl.configURI + "Commands");

Thanks for the scripts!  I was always wondering why Adobe didin't add "Import Commands" menu item themselves, since they already have "Manage Saved Commands"... 🙂

Please, add Adobe Animate on IPad Pro. With Apple M1 or even 2 it can run it.

The Animate Custom Platform SDK hasn't been updated in 4 years. Are custom platform extensions expected to work without modification in Animate 2024? My custom platform extension is not recognized as being installed by Animate 2024, while 2023 is using it without issue. Does the extension need to be recompiled for Apple silicon to work with Animate 2024?
