  1. 🚨 Niche animation post 🚨

    A few folk have asked how the move to Friction has gone, so I have written some notes about what helped me (basically the elements that I think are confusing if you're used to Flash/Animate).

    It's a bit of a brain dump but hopefully has some useful pointers about how to get started. I've only been using it a couple of weeks, so there is loads I don't know, but these points mean I can persevere.

  3. As promised, have some words on moving away from Animate, & why I'm trying out Friction as an alternative in the first instance. Skip this thread if you have no interest in animation software.

    First up, big thanks to everyone with suggestions, & I am absolutely not dissing any of the other apps people mentioned. I had very specific requirements & they changed within a few days of the original post asking for help due to Adobe's actions.

  5. An artist backlash just saved Adobe Animate

    The software giant dropped a bombshell for animators this week when it sent out an email announcing with a month's notice that it would discontinue Adobe Animate from 1 March. Existing users were told they would lose the ability to download their content 12 months later. Today, Adobe posted a statement on its website saying: “Animate will continue to be available for both current and new customers, and we will ensure you continue to have access to your content. There is no longer a deadline or date by which Animate will no longer be available. These are changes from what we shared in our original email.

  9. What Adobe is doing with the cancellation of Animate should be illegal. Animators are livid atm.

    Unfortunately most foss tools aren't as good as Animate to replace it (no, Grease Pencil doesn't quite do the same and Krita/Synfig/Pencil2d/OpenToonz aren't as feature-rich), but Moho is an excellent piece of software. First created for the #BeOS back in 1999, I remember using it back then. In 2007 it even had a #Linux version.

  11. With #adobe continuing with their massive #enshittification push here is a reminder of some alternatives. I know this doesnt help with the people who are about to get screwed over with #Animate now, but might help someone moving forward.

  13. Already got something, just shapes and motion, but for a couple of hours of work it not bad 😄

  14. #Adobe stellt #Animate endgültig ein - das früher als #Flash bekannte Tool stirbt damit seinen wohl letzten Tod. Ab März 2026 sind keine neuen #Downloads mehr möglich. User fordern #OpenSource-Lösung winfuture.de/news,156587.html?
