"Need quick and easy Motion Graphics?"
4/5
What do you like best about Adobe Animate?

If you are old-school Flash animator/dev, returning to motion graphics with Adobe Animate is mostly seamless. If you are new to Animate, there may be some learning curves - but quick searches will bring easy to follow tutorials and direct info. Overall there may be superior products, but Animate does the job if you have an Adobe Cloud account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Animate?

Without prior Flash knowledge, some of the interface and/or tools may be confusing without a deeper dive into how-to videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Getting animation done in a Flash"
5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Animate?

When Flash became Animate, I didn't get the memo at first, then a few years went by, and I saw it in my Creative Cloud. I installed it thinking it was some animation program, and boy, I was wrong. It was like someone took Flash and made it more user-friendly yet still deep in customization and scripting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Animate?

The learning curve to get back into the swing of professional-grade animation was a bit much. The tutorial videos helped, but it wasn't getting me down and deep into the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Animate brings storyboards to life"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Animate?

I like How fun it is to work in. Animate is an easy to use tool that allows our creative team to bring life and fluidity to our storyboarding process. Adding in motion allows us to better communicate timing and intent in our work which can greatly speed up the decision process as well as further enhance our creativity.

What do you dislike about Adobe Animate?

I dislike how much I had to re-think some of my artwork in the beginning. It took some effort to think through the assets and learn how to create and reassemble them in order to better rig and animate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use for small and fast animations"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Animate?

I love how user-friendly the interface is right from the start of opening the program. There isn't a huge learning curve to it and you can pick up on things really easily. I like that you can create movie animations, kinetic typography, cartoons, animated GIFs and much more. I like that the files are very small, and the compression is very smooth which helps if you are trying to send content to mobile devices or to ensure fast loading time on your websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Animate?

There are way too many updates which sometimes happen during the middle of a project, which requires me to shut down the application and restart the program. It's very time consuming and wastes a lot of time. A lot of devices do not support flash. Sometimes websites run too slow and Flash would crash while loading certain graphics and animations on websites. Program can be a bit unstable and can slow down if you aren't being careful on how you are using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
