Being loud works. Adobe just announced it is no longer discontinuing Animate.

btw, if you downsave from Adobe Animate to Flash CS6, be sure to convert your pencil strokes to fills.

Tapered line settings for the pencil tool DON'T get carried over, so it'd be a good idea to preserve that by converting to fills under 'Modify-> Shape--> Convert Lines to Fill

100% Terrible precedent. Many productions are deeply entrenched not just in Animate, but the entire Adobe ecosystem. Why would professionals continue to commit to software that can be pulled with little notice and no alternative? Can’t even buy it standalone. 😤

[Nicole Hardy @TheLoreFactory]

and Adobe Animate CC 2024 doesn't always play nice in Animate 2019 for example.

I'm curious how the transition out of Creative Cloud will be, or if the CC version will be patched to work without an Adobe Account/internet connection.

[Nicole Hardy @TheLoreFactory]

I'm sure I have Flash CS3 or 5 somewhere, does it still work on Windows 11? Who knows?

Will down converting files I want to keep from Animate CC be easy? Definitely not.

Adobe cutting off Animate just wasn't on my Bingo card this year.

[Nicole Hardy @TheLoreFactory]

I used to down convert files from different Flash/Animate files back in the day, and it used to SUUUCK.

You could open CS3 files in CS5, but not the other way around. You had to convert to CS4 first.

With Animate CC, older versions were removed pre-CC 23.0.......

[Nicole Hardy @TheLoreFactory]

@Liam2D So many questions!

It just seems sudden, and a pain in the butt for the few Animation Studios that still use it.

[Nicole Hardy @TheLoreFactory]

"We’re contacting you to let you know that Adobe will be discontinuing Adobe Animate on March 1, 2026."

Just got this e-mail from Adobe about my Animate subscription.

It will still be useable (apparently), but tech support will end by 2027. 😵

[Nicole Hardy @TheLoreFactory]

I'm glad I've picked up Toonboom, this might be my sign to finally pull the plug on Creative Cloud.

[Cartoon Base @TheCartoonBase]

First clip from ‘Teen Titans Go!’ 400th episode has been released.

[Port by the Sea @PortbytheSea]

I want to personally thank whoever made this comic because it has saved my mental health several times. And I bet I'm not the only one.

Art vs artist 2023🥂

The best part about playing Baldurs Gate 3 is torturing my husband with videos I find on the internet.

Last time my job did this, I jokingly said “is this part of our bonus?” Everybody was dying laughing. Before I left that day, HR manager pulled me in the office saying “please never say that again in front of everybody. And to answer your question, yes, it is”

[Scott OBrien @optimusscotto]

Would anyone find anything like this interesting? It's a sample of the type of animation notes I'd do for #Animaniacs to help give a little guidance. OR IS THIS JUST BORING?

[D.K. @DanKantori]

Kai Ikarashi style, plus his whole animation & direction filled with goofy expressions, was a truly sight to behold in Heavenly Delusion ; can't wait to see what else he's going to do now.

[Ole @OleLoken]

Remember when I did this 3 years ago? That was fun, I should do something like that again.
