The Adobe Animate CC Crash Course (Beginner Friendly!)

[@AlexGriggAnimation]

Update- It looks like Adobe has removed Edit Multiple Frames from the timeline in the 2024 version...Very Weird. You can now find it in Control>Timeline>Edit Multiple Frames, or with Alt Shift E.

[@2ragso]

I was hoping it was a mistake from Adobe.. Then again, good thing we have shortcut keys.

[@PAPRIKAnemtudrollerezni]

can I get a link to the software

[@stressesaboutcats]

It's actually still there! You just have to change your Workspace to "Classic" instead of the default "Basic" Workspace is under Window, near the bottom! I hope this helps anyone who was confused like I was :) Edit: Also, thank you so much for this tutorial, it helped so much ;-;

[@malaykar7146]

What are the export options? Which formats are available?

That intro is one of the Greatest of our times.

This is hands down the best tutorial I’ve seen on any creative software. Actually amazing that this is free on the internet for anyone to watch. You sir, are amazing, thank you!

[@AlexGriggAnimation]

Glad it helped!

Oof

[@titanspeakerman470]

What the other Adobe tutorials and Main Channel teach me in half a year for me unsuccessfully, you teach me how to use it in only 20 minutes successfully.

[@CJreyiz]

Brother, I am Turkish and I watched Turkish videos and I could not understand anything, but even though I did not know the language in your video, I was able to start progressing in the program thanks to this video. Thank you very much.

[@Perndoe]

Even though this looks like a pretty normal tutorial, you have covered lots of interesting detail and simple ways of animating which is really nice and absorbing for beginners. Well done! The greatest animator of all time.

As someone who learnt macro media flash in depth over 20 years ago, this video tells me exactly what I needed to see how the tool has evolved quickly thank you!

[@imranaki]

This has to be the best tutorial video I have ever seen. I wasnt confused at any point, neither did I feel I needed to pause and replay to understand, and the your voice and style is super clear... Thanks for the crash course :)

[@MaikeEsch]

I can't explain how impressed I am with this tutorial. One of the best I have ever seen on software.

[@amandacarpenter1202]

I'm trying to make my first animation using simple shapes with music and this has helped me so much already. Thank you so much!!!!

[@SkipperWing]

One addendum (because this really tripped me up when keyboards made this change): For F5 (add frame), F6 (add Keyframe) and F7 (add blank keyframe), The user needs to make sure that the keys are in “Function” mode, By either holding the function key (fn) on the keyboard when pressing the keys, Or making sure the keys are “function locked” (either by hitting the function lock key or changing it in settings) Otherwise the keyboard will do the alternate function listed (usually volume up/down and the like) This really tripped me up when keyboards started moving away from function keys having dedicated functions, so I hope it helps someone else avoid my learning troubles!

[@AlexGriggAnimation]

Yes great point. I wasnt sure if I should mention that but hopefully people figure it out!

[@sofiakhan2605]

OMG thankyou

[@rekowilly8304]

Brooo thank you so much 😂😂😂

I will be taking an animation focus class next semester (Spring 2025). I'm familiar with animation principles and some programs in general but have never messed with Adobe Animate before. It seems like Adobe Illustrator but jacked up. This tutorial will definitely be helpful when I start my course. Thanks!

[@PlanetEleethal]

Very well explained, thank you. I used to use Flash way back in the late 90s for animations and tweening. This was very informative and interesting.

You’ve finally got me to understand Adobe Animate. Thanks!

[@livytang]

That was awesome thank you. I study Web Design and Development but I have to put it on pause because the doctors found a 7 x 9 x 9 in mass behind my eye. I can't imagine myself studying to make websites if I have a short time here. I decided will learn animation and make short clips to evoke my emotions. This is the first video I found and it helps a lot. It's thorough and straight to the point. I get headaches and this makes taking in the information easy. Thanks for sharing. I hope to make cool things.

[@manalfatima8884]

i hope you are dong better now

You really made it simple for someone who wants to know the basic steps as well as the overall concept of how Adobe Animate works. Really excellent! Thank you! …Rowby.

[@Eric-----]

I'm glad to see that Adobe Animate has a built-in Flash player so you can play your .SWFs offline! I find the options that appear when you right-click the player satisfying - you can disable the anti aliasing, zoom in, scale the image to the size of the window or 100%, show redraw regions, and much more. I would like to know if the current version of the Flash player in Animate still has these options.

[@hoisin75]

I wish I'd had this when I started out with Flash in 1998!

God bless you son. I just bought my first drawing tablet, a Huion 11K V2, and I couldn't wait to get at it! I already have the Adobe suite with Animate cc so I figured I was ready to go. Yeah, about that. Way too confusing at first. I watched a few other videos but they only made me want to cry since they all seemed to be under the misconception that we, the viewers, already had some experience with the software. You presented your lesson in a way that made it easy to follow and understand. So, thank you. ♥

[@AlexGriggAnimation]

Oh that's so nice to hear! I'm glad I could help

[@louisflores5434]

Can you use your Huion 11K V2 on a MacBook Air or any other drawing tablet or only the iPad?

[@AlexGriggAnimation]

@@louisflores5434 animateCC isnt available on iPads. I think drawing tablets like the huion are designed for laptops and desktop computers
