Youtube free Animate course recommendations

[Tgibs2]

I'm trying to teach my students to use more vector and shape based animation to possibly speed up their process so they can create more animation content faster. After all, this is small part why traditional died (I know there's a vast history of why :). Are there any youtube teachers with free courses online that really go deep into type in using Animate CC? I've been watching tiptut alot but it looks like he also traditionally draws a lot in his videos. Thank you in advance for the recommendations.

Hi @Tgibs2 ,

Apart from Matt Fryer's channel ( TipTut on YT ) of which you already know, another great channel is that of Chris Georgenes, @_keyframer .

Chris is a very experienced animator, Flash evangelist, and the author of several very highly-regarded books about Flash animation. You will find many great tutorials there:

Sergio Rodriguez's channel ( @sergiopop75 ) also has videos showing unique advanced Flash animation techniques:

Sergio is a professor of animation in Spain.

My series on Professional Character Rigging provides general knowledge and does not requite EDAP Tools.

There is another fundamental video of mine: Understanding Symbol Registration.

I'm sure that you are aware of our two YT channels, so I won't post the links here.

Apart from the above, most content on YouTube is mediocre regurgitation of a few basic methods, often propagating bad practices and various misconceptions. These are produced by a huge army of amateurs and can be quite harmful in the sense that once bad practices become a habit, it is difficult to unlearn them.
