How to Animate in Adobe Animate: Complete Course

Because the Adobe Animate interface has changed so much since this class was filmed, the series is now retired and available only by requesting to purchase it (see my contact page).

This is a series of 34 videos that will teach you everything there is to know about animating in Animate CC, from the basics of drawing to frame by frame and puppet animation to tricks I’ve learned over the past 10 years of animating with Adobe software. It is the ultimate complete course. Last updated end of 2019. 2021 versions of Animate CC will have new tools not mentioned and a different looking interface.

• 34 videos (2+ hours)
• 68 page book (text version of videos, a changelog, and links to more tutorials)
• 2 animation puppets
• discussion forum

Buying the course gives you 1 access pass for 1 person that lasts forever. Buying the course gives you permission to make animations for profit with the course puppets. Teachers who buy the course may use the videos and puppets in their own classes. See the License Agreement for full legal rules.

I personally send the class to the email you paid with, so it may not show up right away. If you don’t get it within a day, send me a message or try checking your email’s spam folder. I’m happy to answer any questions! See my contact page.
