Animate 2025?

[Willi Lopes]

Will there be no update for Animate this year?

[Flipline]

Can't imagine it's good news, I don't know why they would need approval if the response was "everything's fine and we're still working on Animate as usual".

[HarrowwInk]

Very fair point.

Given Adobe's previous behaviours, it's highly unlikely that any news regarding Animate would be good at all.

I can't really remain too hopeful given how long they're taking just to respond at all.

I'm also doubting good news from Adobe.... Best thing we can do at this point is to keep this thread alive.

One step to confirm to work in development? When 2025 version?

Hello there,
I'm following this discussion with a lot of attention because I've been using Animate for many years, and I'm worried to imagine that this great software could stop tomorrow...
I'm starting to look into alternatives (Toon Boom, TV Paint ?), but until Animate is officially discontinued, I'm still hoping. I also just saw the small security update, a very slim hope for the still effective development of Animate.

🥹 too beautifuyl to be true

Now that we are dreaming, can you imagine it comes JUST with one major feature: All Bugs Fixed

(BTW why Character Animator is still in development!? cartoon AI filters would surpass CA obsolete technology as soon as GPU could do the render locally.)

[David2927643807ua]

Fingers crossed!
I personnaly don't have big bugs for my work, so what I'd like is just a confirmation that Adobe is still developping Animate!

i'm not sure a new splash screen means continued animate development, but it's not a bad sign.

I checked the date on the header image for that article: 23 October. With the lead time on such a project, I'd imagine the design brief was given a longer time ago, and since marketing and development streams work independently,  I'd wager a bet that that article means absolutely nothing in regard to Animate's continued development chances.

With Adobe's management's history and past behaviour/events with sidelining and shelving their previous products in mind, though? Very telling, and matches the current events and communication blackout surrounding Animate.

Animate is on the chopping block. It's over.
