[@lindacarroll9631]

I just need to say that you have a strong talent for teaching. You explain to me how things are done and the methods why... the pro's and cons. I can watch other videos and I fall asleep, yet you keep me awake with that expressive and vibrant energy. I have learned so much from your lessons. You answer questions that the pros don't even consider we might need to know. I just want to thank you for your hard work and helping me to learn Flash and animation, how to add sound and other tricks. I am sure that you don't even know half the artist you inspire with your drawing and your lectures, all for the good. Thank you!

[@Jazza]

Thank you so much for your kind words Linda, I'm really grateful you find my content helpful

[@mihais13]

+Linda Carroll are you that Linda woman that creates tutorials?

[@lindacarroll9631]

No.. not really, Just an artist.

[@mihais13]

+Linda Carroll You have no videos on KZbin.

[@lindacarroll9631]

+mihais13 Just one, where I am etching a table.

[@SamGreen]

25:05 Keep playing with it until it's the size you're happy with ;)

[@cvanims]

+Sam Green That's what she said.

[@JoRosieQueen68]

+Sam Green Oooh It's Sam Green that cool australian that makes epic minecraft cinematic masterpieces,I see the fact that you do have some fine tastes in videos as well,have a good day mate.

[@Walking-MY-Path]

+CV Anims Dammit you beat me to it!

[@HerbalToons]

Thanks Jazza! This was very helpful :) I'm having trouble installing keyframe caddy on it though. Anybody got advice let me know.

[@tiarawhy]

Toonboom was ungodly to learn after using flash for years, but honestly now that i 'get it" it's far easier and faster to work in than flash. However, the first time i tried TB i also ended up rage quiting after a few days and didn't try it again for another year. For TB, you have to think completely differently since each layer is a kind of symbol and make use of overlayer/line/colour/under to do things. In the end for pure animation TB is far superior, but TB can't let you make a few things like interactivity and easily self looping animations that run independently piece by piece.

[@user35678_tt]

Flash is easier for me but i still have to learn Some stuffs on flash

[@SamGreen]

You're going to have to start recording in 4k bro. That resolution is INSANE. Solid vid too btw.

[@SamGreen]

+Milho jazza and I go easy back, we're good pals! :)

+Draw with Jazza Ha Jazza, that's cheating.

[@mrlokuff]

SECOND

[@KteesWorld]

I totally agree with your review of AnimateCC. I've been hanging on in there for a long time too and was really saddened when so many people kept saying that Flash is Dead! I felt like I was a lone voice saying that it wasn't dead, and I was living in hope that Adobe would finally shake themselves out of their reverie and do the right thing with the software! Thankfully it looks like they are going in the right direction and I can understand why they changed the name because of all the bad press it needed a rebrand. Thanks for the great overview and review :)

[@eugeniat5460]

I was right there with you. Honestly still holding on. Flash was amazing fun.

[@yotamshitrit6820]

Brushes can be NOT zoomed with the scale!? That's it I'm done. *flies off into space*

[@SamGreen]

+Yotam Shitrit ... They can.

[@asmusanerstorm8678]

+Sam Green hey sam!

[@FurlowT]

+Yotam Shitrit Seems from other comments that it can be, but don't disregard the keeping brush sized to your canvas. It's EXTREMELY handy for people like me that just need to zoom to get their strokes down better, but don't want to change the size.

[@InfiltrateIndustries]

Its vector ... there's not a need for zooming a brush?

[@dmadfield]

Wow, I was waiting for this video. Thank you Jazza.

[@mirisoji8406]

Thank you so much for posting this video! I used to animate with flash in high school and was looking into starting again but with these new changes and not knowing what was going on I really felt discouraged. Seeing a professional like yourself give on honest in depth review has definitely encouraged me to try animate in the future. Thanks Jazza!

[@88kylesperhour]

Thanks for the very thorough run-through! Your work is awesome!

[@Arouxayis]

Thank you for the review, I've been really unsure about getting it but this has helped a lot!

[@davidmuller9385]

A++ great vid and great news. You a talent for making videos with a huge amount of info seem casual and easy to watch. Well done. So happy to get back into (Animate)Flash. Been using other software and none of them felt like home.

[@pkbreeze08]

I won't even be using Animate, but I've sat here and watched this whole video. Why? Because this is the sort of content I love from you Jazza. These deep dive reviews are fantastic, well thought out and presented and incredibly informative. Long story short, Thank You.

[@KraftyPaul]

Hey Jazza, really great video and well reviewed of the different features. Those are some very useful features and im glad you covered them in good detail. Keep up the good work

[@vapsman88]

The ToonBoom segment was awesome! :0) Thanks for overview/review.

[@KevinProost]

Awesome effort, recap & review! Great tutor skills! Nice to see an approved talent with a kind attitude and great vocal capabilities. +1

[@SkidgeDaMighty]

I'm actually excited! I'm going to add this to my stash from Adobe, going from hand drawn to digital has never looked more appealing^^!

[@balls261]

We can always trust Jazza to deliver thorough and informative videos about animation. I haven't even animated in forever but I thank you for keeping us updated! Was definitely an interesting watch.

[@bwhiteillustration]

Jazza, I'm so happy to hear that you've got a direct connection with the folks at Adobe! Like you, I've been using AnimateCC/Flash/FutureSplashAnimator for years...almost exclusively for video animation! It's my sincerest desire that Adobe will finally make AnimateCC a true competitor for ToonBoom and AnimeStudio as an video animation program. Although I continue to upgrade my copies of those apps in the hopes that I will someday actually figure out how to use them, like you I find them ridiculously frustrating to use (loved your ToonBoom recap in the video!). Flash just needs a few tweaks and features to make it the definitive animation app. Thanks for dishing out a heaping helping of hope!

[@jtacua7822]

WE WANT ANIMATE CC TUTORIALS XD

[@theinverse8566]

Great retrospective to get everyone caught up with what's going on. This was a very informative video that I felt answered many questions concerning programs and animation. Thanks Jazza!

[@cavedawes]

Fab! Honest and easy to understand. Inspirational!

[@Commander9786]

Jazza, I had no idea that there was an app available that allowed you to make brushes with your camera! Brilliant beyond words! I have not yet stepped into the world of animation, but I am using Photoshop CC to increase my skill set and my confidence. Thank you so much for your continued tutelage, and for being an inspiration for myself and others!

[@joziahlongo9405]

Thanks! Brilliantly clear. Very helpful.

[@echoecho2666]

Jazza I've loved art my whole life and I've always wanted to make my own animated or comic series on the web and you inspired me to take a big leap into animation head first and your the reason I'm working on something I've dreamed about having since I was just a little kid thank you so much I doubt your reading this because there's probably a lot of other comments but you have no idea how happy I am to have found this channel it changed my life

[@roqueyyanez]

I was an avid Toon Boom Harmony user, and it was very cumbersome, but effective. I just used Animate CC for a title intro and it so smooth and easy to use, that I canceled my Toon Boom subscription. Excellent video, can't wait for more Animate CC tutorials.

[@DigitalSalt]

I believe I originally found your channel because I had just picked up flash to try it and needed tutorials to help me understand the fire I was playing with. While I didn't really stick with it and instead fell in love with your photoshop/art tutorials, the changes made to create Animate CC have also reinvigorated me to try 2D animation again. Looking forward to any future Animate CC tutorials from you, Jazza! Thanks as always :)

[@Allenimations]

Best Channel for tips. #1.

[@cephazea]

thank you jazza, that was cool software

[@DonisAnimation]

Jazza MAN ... I must thank you soooo much? cause i get on your stream on adobe twitch, find that they are making giveaways, and decide to share my flash animation... And I WON !!! So Thank you Jazza for this happy moment =) And that was very exciting to watch those streams, and Adobe channel on twitch is amazing... THe creative part of twitch is amazing... I didn't know about it before, so thank you for opening it too me... That's it =)

[@MissSonicexH]

You have introduced me to Animate CC in the best way possible - Jazza style. :)

[@cvanims]

So many welcomed changes! Can't wait to give it a whirl!

[@jacksquatjb]

Thanks for this video, Jazza! I recently was able to finally purchase the Adobe Suite and was having a bit of a hard time switching from Macromedia Flash 8 (I know it's old, but it's stable and I didn't have the money to upgrade) to the newest Flash. Though I wasn't having nearly as frustrating a time as you did with Toon Boom I was wondering why I should switch from MF8 at all. There didn't seem to be a whole lot worthwhile and indeed I was more familiar with the old file. But this new Animate CC, and especially this video, has swayed me. The audio splitting is a game changer, the swatch tool is amazing, the sizable brush size is something I've desperately wanted, and the custom brushes are something I'm really looking forward to trying out! I'm still having some issues transitioning but it's getting easier the more I use it. I know you have lots of tutorials for Flash in general, but I'd appreciate a refresher course on some of the basic tools, but for Animate instead so people like me who are jumping on now have a good starting point. Thanks for all the great content! PS: I'm a little jealous we are close to the same age and you are so much better than me, but that just spurs me on to keep practicing!

[@erikabentog]

OMG you can be anything you want. Animator, cartoonist, digital artist and even educator. You are just AMAZING. Love your videos. I haven't used Flash since 2009. You brought my passion for animation back. Tks! ;D

[@NaxeCode]

Meanwhile, at Adobe HQ: $_$

I am going to translate this into UK english for the less understanding £_£ I hope that this helped all UK audiences.

[@FuzzyImages]

Ok I'm so glad to see how you get frustrated mirrors my own. I do need to just keep at it though by my frustration really quickly effects my work.

[@Dicloman77777]

Thx man! Now I'm definetly will update to Animate!

[@insertnamehere85]

Thanks for the review Jazza! This is looking promising for Flash Animators. Hopefully the export options aren't as limited as previous versions.

[@FurlowT]

Thanks so much for this!

[@curtisajike]

Great video !

[@LiTAQ]

I'm starting to go into animation, and am curious as to which software to get. I am new, so obviously I need something I can learn, but I also want something to use for a while, so something that I'll get used to and enjoy once I understand. Would you recommend Animate CC or something else?

[@awardableyeti0285]

LiTAQ fireaelpaca is good for begginers

[@awardableyeti0285]

[@claudenine5452]

[@dilmarpregardierjr1992]

Great video! I'm waiting for more Animate tutorials like this one. I'm learning by myself, but is taking to much time. Regards from Brazil.

[@salmanisrar2002]

You are one of the greatest artist of our generation, you would be remembered for sure forever, perhaps.

[@velvetreede8530]

Jazza, I have a question, do you prefer adobe animate or flash? I'm asking because I'm deciding on buying one of these programs to animate, do you recommend one specifically? Thanks in advance -Wolfie

[@davirtuoso]

As a fledgeling game developer at college I found this a really helpful video, and it helped allay a lot of my concerns. Thanks very much for this, I learned a lot!

[@BeatVisions]

Good breakdown.

[@kazimustafizur5845]

WoW...You are quite a professional.....!!....Looking forward for more animation lessons from you. Thanks.

[@TROLLMASTERGT]

Thank you so much, wanted to you do this video 😊

[@isaac2033]

Interesting. I'm a Harmony user but I think I'll check this out after I finish my current project. Thanks for the vid. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with using this.

[@samir7964]

Very helpful . that is right your channel is the best source to flash animation , for me I tried different channels but they were nothing but hopeless .

[@91HuNt3rxXx]

How helpful are the other CC products are in your work? I'm looking to get Animate CC but didn't know if the other programs would actually help benefit the work flow? Anyways Jazza, Awesome Video! Really great info and presentation and the insight on the future on Animate CC was uplifting, good to see things going in the right direction!

[@Jazza]

+KSpotted Bear I use photoshop and premiere every day as well as animate, and Adobe are often updating and adding more and more stuff including mobile apps, all available on the CC

[@91HuNt3rxXx]

Interesting, Thanks for the insight Jazza!

[@displacerkatsidhe]

I have to watch this tomorrow. I'm excited to get back into flash/animate activities once again.

[@unofficialSummer]

OMG Tag Swatches, I didn't know about it, thank you very much

[@dangraphic]

(17:31) LOL @ Iris accent! :) I've been trying to get that accent down pat for years.... :) You're a natural. Nice video btw. The tagged color swatch feature convinced me to reinstall this new version.

[@MaxicoKingdom]

i love the line width tool

[@Swanstardesigns]

Hi Jazza, that was great! I've never used Flash, or Animate, but I'd really love to learn. You're really really clear in your explanations, so I'd love to see some beginner tutorials for how to use Animate! Even just some hints and tips... something to get the ball rolling (ie things you'd wish you'd learnt about a program right at the start). You da best! :-)

[@tusenbensen334]

Yeah!

[@Swanstardesigns]

+OneEyedKing Oh, I didn't even think to check his older videos - seems common sense now that you mention it! Haha. Thanks.

[@VisualAudioV]

Fantastic Video. Ive also used flash for half my life. Starting on Flash 5. Moving to MX, 2013 and 2016. You're spot on there has been no need until now to start looking at moving forward. As Adobe Animate is now becoming what the program should have been a long time ago. Hopefully Adobe move this even more forward with similar features that are incorporated into TB Harmony, Illustrator and I think personally it should even go down the Spine Route for 2D Game Creation for Unity and Unreal Integration.

[@francescochiodi]

Thanks for All jazza .. From Italy

[@Philbrush]

I am looking forward to giving Animate a bit of a go...I just need the patience to animate. So I was looking at that spiffy magic wand sparkle and thought some effects animation tutorials might be nice (if they don't already exist), and also you mentioned that you do a short scene, then join them all together in premier...maybe a little tutorial on that could be good (I opened premier the other day and got over whelmed and closed it again)!

[@ssjcarter9k]

Awesome review!

[@ssjcarter9k]

+Karis Carter (AMZ) He's a awesome animator and artist. I have adobe animate so hopefully it can increase my animation quality

[@FodaySamura]

I really like these changes

[@insertusernamehere8125]

In my opinion it looks really good and looks like it’s worth the price so im gonna buy the subscription, very cool!

[@michaelrobinson9255]

Great Video Mate! I am an Aussie animator too!

[@Sea-zu4bj]

he he aussi austarlia

[@saionjisan]

I would like to know more about how you made the vectorized brush please! :)

[@jimatmeijs269]

Nice animation!

[@Geritopia]

You make a good point about the historical reputation of Flash. Rebranding it is one thing but the stigma may persist, just because it's Adobe. I follow a lot of animation blogs and TV Paint comes up a lot. I think if you're looking for something that is the most intuitive , from a traditional hand-drawn perspective, a lot of software has something to offer and some flaws that make you beat your head against a wall. One thing about your example is that I would have wanted to see nice clean tapered lines on your character. Can Animate CC draw tapers based on pressure sensitivity or are the line always coming off a pre-determined library? I would say, if you can't make real-time lines based on pressure, that's a flaw.

[@huberthermodsson1587]

Hi Jazza. I've been animating now with toon boom for half a year. I use essentials, so if I'd like to upgrade, I'll need too spend at the least 600 USD on it. Which I may do if I stay with the program. Sure you get some cool features, but maybe it's not worth it. Now when I've seen this I get one more bit confused. Should I migrate to Animate CC, before it was the flash peeps who came to toon boom. Will I get a nice surprise, or would the transition be terrible you think? Do I get much out of it in the long run. I watch onion skin to get good toon boom resources, but it feels like I can easier get Animate resources. What do you think, shall I leave toon boom? Cuz I already have creative cloud, so it will not cost a penny more. Love ya mate!

[@huberthermodsson1587]

I've thought about this, because it feels like you will stay with Animate from now on and just end with toon boom

[@makounamine5010]

thanks alot for this vidéo ; keep going )

[@jasonfella265]

Now I know why we hadn't seen any follow-up videos about your possible transition to Toon Boom haha. Sounds like that has been put on hold =)

[@PampdArt]

It definetly looks interesting! Sadly, I was only able to watch the first day you were at Adobe but it definetly picked up my interest. Altho in school we will begin learning how to use TvPaint which is also quite an interesting animation program. Have you ever thought of trying it out?

[@hellodolly7989]

+Pampd Adobe should have the videos saved on their channel. Just look at the past broadcasts section on Twitch

[@afonsocarvalho2695]

if u noticed, Jazza is way more happy and excited in thw begginings of the video than the rest

[@ismaililyas]

can import swf game to adobe animate cc and export to apk hope understand me

[@weaponizedlizardmen360]

I know you have been told this before jazz a but I just want to make sure to get the right thing. I would like to start animating but I have no software. Of course this is flash but what device for animation on what you recommend to new animators?

[@hadinasrallah8928]

How did you make that magic beam effect? nice video by the way :)

[@alexbeaumont1645]

I want to learn how to animate and I want to buy animate cc. Do you have to buy all of the adobe softwares or can you just buy animate cc on it's own?

[@bambino3624]

Great video you crazy mormon.

[@JoseppiLinguini]

does this mean all your older flash tutorials still apply and we can just build on op of that for animate? or will you be going back to the basics for Animate?

[@anab0lic]

If i want to teach myself to use Animate should I just work through flash guides?

[@Jazza]

Definitely

[@Zechla]

+anab0lic Also, check out Alanbeckertutorial KZbin channel, he's awesome, his tutorials are incredibly effective

[@Bino_Sleevelesssocks]

Ahem... JAZZA!

[@FragMentEditing]

For me, the most useful feature in all of Animate CC is simply the fact that you can now import SVG images. The reason this is important is because it allows you to import animation done in CACANi, since the only vector export option in CACANi is SVG images.

[@angrypuppet2316]

Hey Jazza, have you tried synfig studio? and if so can you give me some tips.

[@kshi7silva729]

I have to learn this! But i suck at animation!

[@maxikleinart]

you should do a video of your old art when you were young

[@himynameisveeee]

quick question tho : does the Animate CC has hand feel/look setting, like in TVpaint / toonboom or its still the vector looking/feel? coz it has the nonvector/pixel feel....then i might switch side :))

[@malartsny]

Haha, the ToonBoom flashback is hilarious! Vive la Flash, I've always thought the hate it started to recieve was short sighted. It did so many cool things for the web, and I know many people, myself included, who liked it as an animation and vector illustration tool. Onward to Animate...

[@joe2501echo]

I would like to see you try the bleeding edge version of Pencil 2D. It's great for my animation style, but I want to see what a professional thinks of the freeware program. You can see the 26 or so frames of ball I regurgitated onto my channel if you want to see what can be done with such a simple tool. One more thing, save often (or turn on auto save) because the program can be a tad UI breakingly unstable at times. However, the odds of you getting a broken startup is somewhere in the ballpark of 1 in 20. Also it likes to occasionally uninstall my intuos drivers for some reason. Well, that's a nightly build for you. Oh, almost forgot. Vector layers are completely broken on the Windows version, and have been for some time now.

[@heroart110]

i would like to learn more about the bone tool and the various ways i could use that for Animate CC

[@legendofsonic3979]

Thanks

[@jonduke4748]

Holy crap, even using the brush strokes feels better.

[@siskavard]

You can use "Find & Replace" to change colors throughout a file instead of manually changing the color on every frame.

[@saeidehrad5070]

jazza! have you tried making app using Adobe flash?

[@karlamichelle4946]

hey guys am new to animate cc and i was wondering if i can take a screenshot of my digital drawings and import them into my cc library will i then have it a custom brush ?

[@Sea-zu4bj]

yeah

[@Gabriel-vl2ft]

+Draw with Jazza Enjoying your work Jazza. Question, do you draw all frames of the animation by hand? Obvious answer perhaps.

[@snowmorepuns]

I want to animate and this might help, yes!

[@Kummitui]

But can the Adobe Flash still be purchased even the Adobe Animete is out? plus, i know you feelings with Toon boom. i have been using flash since it still was owned by Macromedia and i can say that Toom boom wasn't a pleasant program.

[@TobyTV2000]

Don't know if you will read this but I love your videos. I don't even animate using flash. I use Anime Studio😂. Yet I always enjoy your videos.😂😂your great. Keep it up😊

[@kirkwhayman]

Man would love you to do a tutorial on lynda.com on the essential / advanced skills for this

[@Crox--Youtube--Channel]

have you finished intro ?

[@AtolyMedia]

hey jazza . what is the background music. i really like it

[@mohawkade]

I once had a chat with a guy from Nvidia, and he said when Nvidia was pitching a technology partnership with Adobe for GPU accelerated Flash, Adobe was very reserved and bureaucratic about the idea at first saying that flash users should just get a better CPU rather than have the graphics card help with calculating flash video. Eventually Nvidia was able to convince them in the end but only after a 2 year period, Nvidia and Adobe have been good business partners ever since.

[@archu_4141]

Ohh thanks to tell
