Chapter 1: A Brief Introduction to Adobe Animate

This chapter provides background information on Animate, discusses what it is used for in the industry, and explores some of its new features for 2022 and how to put them to use. When new features are released, the software release notes usually just aren't enough to give an in-depth description of how to use them – so, we'll explore each of the new features in-depth so that you can start using them right away. These include the new bone creation and rigging capabilities of the Asset Warp tool and Warped Objects, the last frame options for Graphic Symbol instance looping, and a set of convenient features for the Paint Bucket, Classic Brush, and Fluid Brush tools. We'll also cover some resources for keeping up-to-date with all things Animate. You'll come away from this chapter with a refreshed understanding of Animate as a creative platform for designers, animators, and developers.

After reading this chapter, you'll come away with the following skills:

  • Understand the history of Animate and what the software can be used for.
  • Learn which features have been added to the software, what their purpose is, and how to put them to use.
  • Know where to look for new releases and how to stay abreast of new resources for Animate, as well as its related software and the industry generally.

If you are someone who want to learn animation, then this book is for you. It is informative and straight to the point. What I love about the book is how it is broken down so even a beginner will not have any issue using this book. Joseph, fantastic job my friend. Fantastic!!

Make learning easy and stimulating in a creative way. This is one of Joseph Labrecque's great skills. It is no coincidence that he is prominently one of the Adobe Education Leaders with a remarkable dedication to animation, audio, moving images and interaction. His explanations are clear and detailed throughout the entire Adobe Animate book, which makes learning inspiring. I recommended to my University the adoption of this book as a bibliography in Interaction Design, Multimedia and Communication courses. Congratulations on the job Joseph.

Not all Creative Professionals come from the same background or the same industry, so the thing I liked most from this book is that a varying degree of knowledge learners can understand it, so if you have been afraid to animate something this book is a great start. I might stand alone here but, knowing the history of a piece of software increases the knowledge you have on how a piece of software actually is meant to work and is really extensive and helpful in this book.I found the book easy to follow even through the sections on "code" (which I am terrible at)

Jospeh has, for years now, been the go to Adobe educator for all things animation, and his latest book does not disappoint. Whether you are dipping your toes in to using Adobe Animate, or a seasoned expert, or even someone (like me) who needed a refresher, this book has it all. Jospeh explains things extremely well and his knowledge about animation and the software is unparalleled. Highly recommended!
