how to use adobe flash adobe animate CC CS6 CS5 CS4 tutorial rundown crash course breakdown for dummies in depth tools features highlights stick figure

[@gyimah-amponsahjared480]

Back here in 2022 with so much gratitude for Alan Becker doing this tutorial. Explained every important thing in Flash within 6 minutes while there are other video tutorials teaching only one basic for 30 minutes. I admired the way he taught. His paced matched with everyone surely. This is one of those videos Teachers would hide from their students else they wouldn't get paid. You're my hero Alan Becker. You should give a Toon Boom Harmony tutorial too.

Do you still use flash?

This is the most clear animation tutorial I have ever seen in my life. And that program you use, the adobe flash one, has some pretty nice tools I wish more products around here would implement... Also, I absolutely love your smooth animations and creative story lines for animator vs animation videos. Though they are just stick-figures, it's some of the best animation I've seen on KZbin. Keep up the amazing work @AlanBecker ~nightsoul

Flash is definitely the best choice

[@walkiacid9265]

Flash is yes, still the best choice Used by most animators in the world. Though there are alts flying around, like Opentoonz and Krita. So you may or may not want to try those before going to flash.

I have a problem with my Flash CC's brush. When i make a line, the line won't be fluid and make angles. I also have Photoshop CC and i don't have this problem, so it's not my tablet. If anyone knows a solution, thank you, Sorry for my english btw

[@YahtzDehChannel]

Zen typa Get teh brush tool selected and look for a setting called smoothing. Mess with it until it's just right.

[@remremization]

YahtzDehGamer Thank you but it's already at 50, actually, when i draw slowly the line is correct, but when i have to draw faster, the line become angular...

[@YahtzDehChannel]

Weird, I can't think of anything else off the top of my head. :/ I'll reply back if I can think of anything, hopefully this can be fixed soon.

[@remremization]

YahtzDehGamer Thank you!

[@YahtzDehChannel]

Well, I tested some things out and apparently I have a similar problem. But like you said, it works when you draw slower, which I know is a bad solution but it's all I got right now. I would like to help you out more but I stayed up wayyy too late last night, I'll hopefully get back to you when in a bit though. :D

its not. only flash player and flash websites are going to shut down because its outdated and for some security reasons aswell. the programs arent being shut down and still will be useable. however adobe took down the legacy installers a little while ago and you have to use 3rd party websites to get access to those installers. and also when you get flash you have to export your videos to a non flash made format. and do not worry. the 3rd party methods arent exactly cracked verisons of flash. they hand out free serial keys to use in the legacy flash setup. so it is completely legal. also its not subscription based so your pretty much good to go. i can give you my discord to get access to old adobe animate products.
