Adobe Animate/Flash Intro

We are going to begin to learn how to draw and animate in Adobe Animate. Animate is a fun program that makes animation easy... well it takes a bit of time to learn, but there are many things it can do. It can help you create digital animations, help you design games, and help generate cool websites. I say it can help, because you are the designer and creator, you have to make the choices to create your piece.





We are going to learn about the following:

• The stage
• Timeline
• Properties
• Tool bar
• Library
• Document set-up
• Scale
• Colour- Tone/alpha
• Frame by frame animation
• Onion Skins
