What is Adobe Animate?
Adobe Animate is a vector-based animation tool used to design cartoons, banner ads, games, and interactive web content. It provides drawing tools such as brush, pen, and shape tools, a timeline for frame-by-frame and tween-based animation, an envelope deformer with Bezier handles for reshaping vectors, and a Flexi bone tool for rigging and warping characters. Projects can be exported to HTML5 Canvas, WebGL, Flash/Adobe AIR, SVG, and other custom platforms for desktop, mobile, and TV.
Animate is available as a single app for $22.99 per month on the annual plan billed monthly, or bundled into Creative Cloud Pro at a promotional $34.99 per month for the first three months, then $69.99 per month regularly. Students and teachers pay $19.99 per month, and a Business plan is priced at $99.99 per month per license.
