Thanks Pramod! Much appreciated.

[@Julian_T]

I'm a web dev who needs to find out how to create simple animations for landing pages. I've stumbled into your tutorial and it's just great. You explain the individual steps very well. I like the background music. Thank you!

[@AngeloMontilla]

Thanks Julian! I am glad they're helping you with your projects.

One more amazing video notification 🤩I liked before I watch it 🥰 Now I can watch it

[@AngeloMontilla]

Thank you! 🙂

[@Elishea36]

Thank you so much for your tutorials. They are all so well explained, well crafted and make it very easy to follow and understand. I feel like the music in the background could be a bit quieter but that is my only feedback :)

[@AngeloMontilla]

Thank you Elishea! I am glad you are finding the tutorial helpful. And thank you for the feedback. I no longer have music at that volume. Take care!

Great Stuff Angelo. Another Absolute PRO Tutorial. 2 Questions - (i) When importing from AI there were some errors displaying, what was that about? (ii) Why convert some objects to symbols but not others ? Thanks again, and if you get time to answer that would be super, but in any case I'll be back for more! 👍👍👍

You are a blessing

[@AngeloMontilla]

Thanks Brian!

[@susang4785]

Really helpful tutorial! I will look for more by you. My only suggestion is to skip the background music. Not needed, and just creates clutter in my head ;-). Your explanations and examples are superb.

[@AngeloMontilla]

Thanks Susan!

Would animate take in the same text format if we bring it in after creating outlines in Ai of all the text?

[@AngeloMontilla]

That's a good question that I am curious about myself. My thinking is because they are outlines, they'll carry over as such when importing the Ai file. But I am going to try this.

[@kamalvarez5838]

Good tutorial but if the end result is an mp4 file just use after effects...

[@lauranoponen6285]

Hi! I've created an animated Instagram post with sounds, but the souds are not playing in the final MP4-file. How to fix this?

[@realtoast7036]

Angelo, newb question. Throughout, you import elements and next embed. What is the function/purpose of embedding? Thx.

[@AngeloMontilla]

I do it often as a best practice when you're sharing the Ai file with a client without having to send the links as well. It embeds the image right into the Ai doc, which is pretty neat.

[@Typometer]

When I try to have Media Encoder convert the Animate file, I get the error "TypeError: null is not an object". How can I solve this problem?

[@mgc230]

¿Adobe animate is better than after effects?

[@AngeloMontilla]

Hi Maria! Depends what you are creating. Animate is great for web-based graphics that support HTML5 interactivity. After Effects is the go-to for video motion graphics.

@@AngeloMontilla if i want to create animated posts for facebook and instagram, will be better adobe animate?

[@Elishea36]

@@mgc230 In the past I have used After effects for facebook and instagram, but now I have started using Animate I find it much easier. After effect's capabilities are incredible but I find animate easier for display ads and social posts :)

[@rigidhammer7376]

why animate dont adapt even text format from illustrator? not a time saver 🙄

[@jamesderry4931]

Audio is out of sync

[@AngeloMontilla]

Thanks James. I know I was having audio problems during this time, most notably in the intro and outro scenes. However, I can assure you the screen recording/tutorial portion of the video is fine. Take care.
