Key Topics Covered
A Brief Introduction to Adobe Animate
Provides background and context around the history and capabilities of the software. We’ll also take a more detailed look at the new features available in Animate 2021!
Exploring Platform-Specific Considerations
Covers the target platforms that are natively supported by Animate by exploring the underlying aspects of each platform, when to use one over another, and even see how to convert between document types.
Settling into the User Interface
Explores the Animate interface in-depth alongside tips and tricks to get the most out of working with the software. Discover how to customize the entire workspace to your liking to achieve a more customized workflow.
Creating and Manipulating Creative Content
Covers the fundamentals of Animate workflows in both the creation of content with various vector shape tools and also the use of different tweening mechanisms within the software. Apply motion to both simple shape and symbol instances, along with the application of easing presets.
Interactive Motion Graphics for the Web
Discover traditional motion graphics workflows for the web through the creation of an animated advertisement using both imported bitmap graphics and vector content native to Animate.
Character Design through Layer Parenting
Explore the Advanced Layers mode and the ability to rig character animations across layers using Layer Parenting mechanisms. We’ll also see how to create automated lip-sync animations through the power of Adobe Sensei!
Animating Poses with IK Armatures
Understand a more refined and controlled way of rigging an armature through the use of the Bone tool and IK Armatures with full joint constraints and the management of poses across the timeline. We’ll also see how to share completed rigs and related assets through the use of Animate Asset files and the new Assets panel.
Working with the Camera and Layer Depth
Discover how to use the Camera to animate an entire scene (even fairly static ones) and tap into Layer Depth manipulation and the use of layer effects and filters.
Developing Web-Based Games
Learn how to construct a playable web-based game targeting HTML5 Canvas using CreateJS JavaScript libraries as we build out the logic for our entire game bit-by-bit across the timeline and through the use of global scripts.
Producing Virtual Reality Content for WebGL
Get to grips with Virtual Reality and WebGL glTF document types within Animate through the assembly of fully interactive VR environments using scenes, textures, and additional imported assets.
Building Apps for Desktop and Mobile
Focus on the AIR document type through which we’ll build a small utility application for browsing photographs using ActionScript 3.0 as a programming language, and the Adobe AIR SDK as a development platform for desktop and mobile platforms.
Extending Adobe Animate
Understand the set of options available to extend Adobe Animate through the creation and implementation of custom in-app tutorials, the use of a JavaScript API to automate actions, and an overview of the Custom Platform Support Development Kit.
