    Unfortunately Preran did not give the "correct answer" here.

    The correct answer should be: No. You cannot. Period.

     

    It is now may 2020 and you as a creative professional are no longer the main focus of Adobe. The company seems to be more interested in expansion by dragging in new and relatively unskilled customers that need full guidance filling templates.

     

    Irritating a loyal pro user base is what killed the once all mighty Quark Express. There's a lesson.

    Thanks for the link. I haven't done that yet, and would gladly do so, but it doesn't actually list Animate CC 2019 on the form yet. If I just put it down as 2018 and put in the real build will that be close enough or should I wait until it's officially listed?

    Hi.

    I just love the new start screen. It's beautiful, things are more organized now and those templates and learning videos are really handy.

    But certainly the best will be to allow users to turn it on/off if speed and the amount of information are not ideal.

    Regards,

    It's "beautiful" at the expense of usability, a sadly typical trend. Some of the buttons can't even fit their text labels. For example the button to create an "ActionScript 3.0 Interface" now reads "ActionScript 3.0 In..."

    That's bad design.

    Looks like Animate CC 2019 is using a pretty slow webpacked page as start-/newfile-dialogue. Honestly exactly this should be fast, I don't get why it has to be so overloaded and nobody at Adobe learned from the exact same mistake they did with Photoshop CC 2018.

    I managed to copy the classic workspace over the start workspace to at least have a smaller impact. Maybe there is a solution to config it down to a state where it only loads the essential things and hopefully becomes faster then.

    Most of the presets are useless (seriously, who designs to the resolution of a specific phone screen anymore?), so I just selected the Advanced tab and hit the Make Default button. I think that's as good as it's going to get anymore.

    Just that Adobe missed that there are framerates, which we are not able to default anymore in Animate CC 19.
