All is in the title...
Why in 2017 "Trim paths" is still not available in Animate CC?? It's a basic animation effect, available in after effect but for strange and mysterious reasons unknown in Animate where it's really a nightmare to create similar effect (and spend hours), however Trim path would so have his place in Animate.
I'm an illustrator and animator, I use Animate for 99% of my work and I SO need this option... PLEASE update it!!!!

(and sorry for my uggly english)

Correct answer Preran

You can place a request with the team directly using the wishlist form Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Thanks,

Thank to all, but it seems that this is not possible, the page doesn't allow to make requests for "adobe animate"....

Furthermore, all the proposed solutions (with masks), which are in any case valid and well known, are cumbersome and long to create...

It would like the "trim path" feature directly enabled in Adobe Animate

Hi, all!
Ok. We all know - Adobe will never ever listen in us. We can spam in that Feature Request Form for eternity. They will not give us that feature. And there is no answer "why" on earth.

The question is - How to simulate it? Here we are users, all we are using Animate, I guess. So - what is the solution? Is there any trick, method, something, how to (for example) reveal a square outline continuously?

Works using masks, nested movie clips and shape tweens

I'm in 2020 and it's still the same... What I do is I do a mask layer and just draw on it... like literally frme by frame. Finally it gives me the effect I need but it takes time... This simple trick can be easily done in AE (3-5 minutes).
However if I trim a simple path like a square, or a circle this can beeasily attainable by transforming the mask and applying either Shape Tween or Classic Tween.
Gosh I spend days trying to solve this issue and the only solution for compound shapes is to draw on mask layer frame by frame... Pity...
