    Adobe Animate is a feature-rich, platform-agnostic, multimedia drawing, layout, animation, and interactive design application. A standard in the television, video game, and digital advertising industries… Animate makes it easy to get creative with time tested design tools and interactive motion workflows.

    Adobe hasn't released a major version of Animate since late 2023… but that all changes now with the revival of the product and the release of Animate 2027! The major new feature for this release is an Animate-centric version of the generative AI powered Turntable feature seen previously in Adobe Illustrator. We'll explore how to use this feature in the chapters ahead.

    I'm Joseph Labrecque and I've been working with Adobe Animate - and Flash Professional before that - for well over 15 years.

    If you're ready to start animating content using a fun and approachable creative toolset then join me in this course to discover the new features and updates in Adobe Animate 2027!

  • The Surprising Resurrection of Adobe Animate2:04

    The last time Animate was updated prior to the recent 2027 release was with Animate 2024 - released in the year 2023. That's right… It's been FOUR long years since Animate has seen a proper update. Since March of 2026, Animate has once more become an active, feature-bearing product within Adobe Creative Cloud.

Description

Adobe Animate was placed into maintenance mode, right? Not so fast! Following some unfortunate communications in early 2026, Adobe heard loud and clear from its passionate community of animators, designers, educators, and developers that Animate remains a cherished and essential creative tool. The message was unmistakable: Animate is far too valuable to be left behind! Adobe took that feedback to heart, and Animate has been re-animated as an active, feature-bearing application within Adobe Creative Cloud.

Building upon the rich legacy of Flash Professional, Adobe Animate 2027 continues to bring powerful animation and interactive content creation tools to today's creative professionals. From traditional frame-by-frame animation and motion tweens to vector illustration, character animation, and interactive experiences, Animate offers a versatile environment for bringing creative ideas to life.

In this course, longtime Flash Professional and Adobe Animate expert Joseph Labrecque guides you through the latest features, improvements, and enhancements introduced in this release of Adobe Animate. Along the way, you'll explore updated workflows, discover useful techniques, and learn how to take advantage of the application's evolving capabilities to create compelling animated content.

Whether you're a longtime Flash enthusiast returning to a familiar creative environment, an experienced Animate user looking to stay current, or a designer curious about what this revitalized application has to offer, this course will help you get up to speed with Adobe Animate 2027.

Animate is back, and there's plenty to explore. Let's get started!
