Animate 2025?

[Willi Lopes]

Will there be no update for Animate this year?

[Bryan Rieger]

My Creative Cloud subscription is coming due in a couple of weeks, and unless there is an actual, serious committment to future of Flash/Animate (not some silly AI nonsense nobody wants) in the next couple of days then this will be the end of the line for my 30+ relationship with Adobe. I've already found alternatives for all of the other Adobe apps I use, and the Moho 40% Black Friday sale has come at the perfect time. Moho along with Rive, Spine and Cavalry are some very impressive, modern non-Adobe animation tools available today.

good news from adobe seems less and less likely.

[Mario_CR]

It's been a long wait, hope we get some news today 😕

[kglad]

the longer the wait, the less likely there's animate-favorable news.

Happy 1st of December!

it's honestly insane how much Adobe is neglecting something that's done so much for the animation industry, both professional and independent

Here is something I found in my Flash archives - a nostalgic memory from a better time.

Made by Nectarine in 2005 or 2006 it was a SWF, which I've just converted to MP4 with Swivel.

Haha

Wonder how a 2024 sequence would be...

Another thing to remember is that Adobe used to host Flash TV shows.

Those were the times.

I still have a number of DVDs (yeah... :optical_disk:) that a lot of that Adobe TV Flash content came from! 

They had a partnership with Adobe Press and Video2Brain to host some of the content on Adobe TV and elsewhere... good times!

[JoãoCésar]

Wow. This is awesome.

I've been watching many shows from Adobe TV. That's a gold mine for Flash history.
