Will there be no update for Animate this year?

Participating Frequently

Sadly. I am just because of adobe animate and am renewing my CC subscription.
If there are no updates to animate, then there is no point in all other programs. I don’t use After Effects, but other programs have a bunch of alternatives, not only paid but also free.

Hi, everyone.

A small update.

I have asked the team and I was told to wait for an answer on this situation.

So let's wait for now.

I'm surprised you even got a response JC! All my inquiries a year ago went un-answered. I used direct lines of communication that were active for a very long time. Hard to remain optimistic but either way, if Animate sticks around fine. I'll likely need to use it for some client work. But overall, my loyalty has waned and I have found alternative software that is seeing a surge in users and overall excitement.

Hello Friend,

What software did you discover?

there's so much I could say - but I will only add, I'm not only disapointed to see Animate whither away in the dark cold corner of Adobe, but moreso the way the team quietly abandoned us in the process. They shut the lights off and closed the door while we're still in the room and won't talk to us anymore.

I've moved on but what a master class on how to not to treat your most devoted users.

Unfortunately this behaviour is exactly as expected based on past behaviour. Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Adobe XD, Muse, ... All started with a deafening silence. And then after a (long) pause in communication a message that active development had been stopped, and the software would be in 'support' only mode.

Next will be a call from users begging Adobe to open source Animate and/or sell it to another party.

Which will be ignored by Adobe. More silence.

I'm really sad about this lack of updates for Animate. It's been my software of choice for creating animations since it was Macromedia Flash. I hope Adobe is not planning to abandon it, once there are a lot of creators that still use Animate.

I'm also sad about this situation. Now that I've improved my animation skills with this software, I don't want to have to learn another one. Animate CC also works with programming, something I find hard to find in other software. Despite its limitations, Animate is currently my work tool, where I started in the world of 2D animation.

Please Adobe, give us answers!

Nosotros estamos esperando una actualización con muchas ganas, llevamos usando Animate desde hace muchos años (Antes Flash), si no se actualiza, será muy malo para nosotros. We are looking forward to an update, we have been using Animate for many years (previously Flash), if it is not updated, it will be very bad for us.

Hi.

It should be today because Adobe usually updates the Creative Cloud apps in the first day of Adobe MAX.

Other softwares already have their updates available:

Exactly, I was expecting some update. Maybe this is a sign that Adobe is going to abandon Animate for good.

Unfortunately, I'm not very optimistic... The Animate team stopped updating the prerelease forums months ago. And now the lack of a new major version... So...
