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.

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!

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
