Animate your website with Adobe Animate
Adobe Animate is the evolution of FutureSplash Animator, an application launched in 1996 by FutureWave Software. The software’s animation features and the ability to create vector animation platforms for the web quickly made it very popular among:
- site creators,
- web designers,
- and many other graphic design and communication professionals.
Adobe Systems then bought the software in 2005, and renamed it Adobe Flash Professional. The firm then enriched the software with many other animation options, including the possibility of creating HTML 5 content or videos. The program thus became a complete multimedia creation and animation tool and was naturally renamed Adobe Animate.
Adobe has also made the software easier to access by adding it to its Creative Cloud (CC) suite. Today Adobe Animate CC can therefore be used in SaaS mode (software as a service), on several operating systems, including mobile. It is also accessible on the move or telecommuting from home.
Adobe Animate is now used primarily to create vector graphics and multimedia animation for:
- videos online or on television;
- web (and mobile) sites and applications;
- video games ;
- rich internet applications (ria).

Fundamentals of Adobe Animate
Through Animate, Adobe’s goal is to bring animation “into a new era”. For this, its creators have equipped Adobe Animate with many powerful features.
Vector brushes
Adobe Animate offers brushes and vector brushes that allow, thanks to a pen or stylus, to benefit from pressure and inclination options on the lines and strokes of a drawing.
With Adobe Animate training, you’ll master basic settings like size, smoothness, and color, as well as pressure and speed settings. You will know how to compose 2D vector graphics and patterns. Finally, with frame-by-frame animation, you can make characters talk and walk or create interactive web banners.
The segment tool
The segment tool makes it possible to take advantage of inverse kinematics (IK), i.e. the possibility of animating objects using segments linked together within linear or tree-like skeletons. This tool promotes the creation of animations (mainly displacements), much more realistic, because when you move a segment, the others animate accordingly.
The Quality Training trainers will also give you several tips related to this tool such as the management of elasticity and dynamic physics to make the movement even more realistic.
Creating HTML5 Canvas documents
Adobe Animate CC lets you create rich, interactive HTML5 content featuring animations, illustrations, graphics, and more. A new document type (HTML5 Canvas) has been integrated into Animate CC to provide native support for these content types.
With Adobe Animate courses, you will know how to use the interface to produce rich interactive content thanks to the CreateJS libraries. Your projects will then be executable on all devices or browsers compatible with HTML5. If you need to, our experts will also show you how to edit, add, or remove JavaScript directly in Animate.
