MacBook Pro Touch Bar Customisation

[Jedd - HOGG Animation]

I just got the new MacBook Pro with touch bar, how do I customise the Touch Bar within Adobe Animate? I would mainly like to have the F Keys I use most commonly and perhaps other shortcuts on my Touch Bar.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Neither of these suggestions tell how to update the MacBook touch bar.

what do you mean by 'update'?

For those who don't know, Macbook Pros have had "Touch Bar" since around 2016.  Instead of dedicated F1, F2, F3, etc. keys, it's a completely customizeable bar for the commands you want.  Check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnz-GpVUNeE to see the very basics.

Back to this post... I would like to know how to customize the Touchbar for the Adobe Animate program specifically for the commands I use the most.

I'm super late to this thread because I just got a new MacBook Pro with the Touch Bar and it wasn't obvious to me how to customize it based on my searches. Apple says to open an application and go to the View menu to customize the Touch bar but AnCC doesn't support this. After a little more digging it turns out you just need to go to Sys Settings > Keyboard and use the "Touch Bar Shows..." drop-down menu to select the function keys...

@_keyframer you probably already know this, but many programs (including many adobe products) let you customize the touchbar specific to the program.  While your solution is technically correct, it changes the touch bar from customizable to just function keys for every program, so the user will need to remember to turn it back to "App Controls" (default) or whatever else you selected if you want the touch bar to perform other functions.  I'm throwing my support to Adobe creating customizeable touchid controls in Animate just before Apple gets rid of it, which they probably will imo.
