Description

Animate is the new name that Adobe has chosen for Flash’s successor. In a time when the web doesn’t need any plugins or extensions, the Flash format and its philosophy had made their time. However, it was impossible for Adobe not to react. Creative Cloud users are thus proposed to embrace a new platform for creating, animating and distributing rich-multimedia content for the modern web.

The aim of this course is to familiarize learners with the software interface so that they can use any type of graphic creations (vector image created in Illustrator, enhanced pictures in Photoshop, graphics and texts created directly in Animate) to easily create exportable animations in the form of video or advertising f animation or websites.
