Edge is dead, Flash is dead- so what do I learn now?

I see the future of web animation as animated svg/HTML5.

Is there a current Adobe Product (or free/cheap competitor) in which I can create web animation and that can provide me with a fairly easy WYSIWYG UI?

Thanks creative folks!

You can export HTML5 from Animate, but you have to be quite careful about avoiding incompatible functions.

[designu46483552]

thanks Doug.

Is that what people do now then?

I've been concentrating on static work for over a decade now and need to get to grips with web animation again.

Whatever's the most conventional and widely-adopted workflow/tools is the way I'd like to go!

[Doug A Roberts]

I'm afraid we might have to wait for someone else to come along for an answer to that. I use it for short videos mostly.

Any further advice as to what "incompatible functions" means please?

Motion tweens get converted to frame-by-frame animations, for instance. I've seen this cause severe changes in animation. There are probably many more examples, but this is one I see all the time.

If you're willing to look at something other than Adobe you may consider Hype 3.6 ($50.00 for perpetual license).

Animate CC used to be Flash.

[Doug A Roberts]

Right, but fortunately flash (SWF) isn't the only thing you can export from Flash.

Flash is alive, just is called now Animate. You can use it.
