Even though they are for slightly different purposes, Adobe Animate is very similar to Adobe After Effects. Animate feels most like a combination of After Effects and Photoshop. I really like Adobe Animate and feel like it's something that once I get the hang of will be relatively easy to navigate. I found the timeline interesting because instead of having a preset amount of frames already made, like in After Effects, you always start with just one frame and can change the length of your animation just by moving your last keyframe. I prefer this over having a set amount of frames because I feel that it gives me more freedom over my animation. Our first assignment in Adobe Animate was to create a skating apple animation. We followed a series of video tutorials that showed us step by step how to animate this particular apple. Even though these videos were using a different version of Animate, they were simple and easy to follow. They explained how to create animations within animations using symbols. This was how we got our apple to move its arms and legs while skating without having millions of keyframes clutter up the timeline… or at least that’s what was supposed to happen. Once completed, many peoples animations seemed to be broken, the animations simply wouldn’t animate. I don’t know why some people's hard work has seemingly gone to waste, maybe it’s because of the ancient and arcane rivalry between mr.B and Adobe Animate, maybe the computer lords are conspiring against us again, we may never know the real answer but i’m hoping that mr.B gives us all 100’s anyway. All in all,
