Animate 2025?

[Willi Lopes]

Will there be no update for Animate this year?

I created the post and didn't mark it as correct; I'm trying to unmark it as correct.

Good.

Hi.

They have removed my moderator status, but it seems I can at least remove an answer wrongly marked as correct.

[Willikolho]

Thanks João! 

[HelenWLee]

Thank you!

@JoãoCésar 

was that your choice?

[JoãoCésar]

@kglad No. I only found out when I tried to mark a post as a spam and the option wasn't there anymore, for example.

Haven't received any notice from the Adobe Community Program as far as I can tell.

there have been other inadvertent mod problems.  post in the backroom and flag sil if you want reinstatement.

[JoãoCésar]

Thanks. Will do.

[kglad]

thumbs up!

Now it's "Animate 2026?"

[HelenWLee]

Yeah. Happy New Year. #goingbacktoCS

I even thought about creating tons of fake accounts to spam all the forums. No! I don't want to do that! Don't force me! I'm a good person! Is this the birth of a villain? It seems like another personality is emerging within me. Nooooo...

no forun post or forum deluge is going to have an impact.  money, however, does have an impact.

For those interested: I just found out about Friction, which seems on the verge of becoming an intriguing alternative to Animate and even (somewhat) to After Effects for web animations. I've been testing it, and Friction already feels reasonably mature for web animations.

Multiple scenes and timelines are supported, vector and bitmap animation, a proper graph editor, export to animated SVG, expressions, and more. It is about to hit release 1 status for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Remarkably enough this is an open source project. One to watch, in my opinion.

Good to know, this sounds interesting especially if it’s open source.

I just wish there were a way to handle frames like Adobe Animate (frame by frame), as I really hate how tweens work in After Effects and other programs. Make things complicated and slower for no reason.

I'll definitely keep my eyes on it. Hopefully it develops into something great.
