Then the interface of animate is also very user friendly and is easy to navigate. The drag drop works very effectively and so the image editing too. In addition there are so many design templates to choose from that it serves all the requirements of different themes. > > **Cons**: I personally feel that the customer support can be even more improved, especially from the services being offered by adobe are already at such a high bar standard. The 3 d animating tools also need to be increased and made more effective. > > Overall i feel adobe animate is really great option for animations. The 2D animations are of just very great level. Little more needs to be done on 3d animations too and customer support also, rest all i feel is very good. ----- ### "The most popular 2D animation software" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 July 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I loved this field of graphics, especially 2D, so after a long search I noticed that everyone advised to use Adobe Animate. What I liked the most is that the user interface of Adobe Animate is not very different from other Adobe programs that I used to use before, such as Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. In every new release that is published, admire the power of artificial intelligence that is added, because this way, time and effort are saved on users. Adobe Animate gives powerful features to make images and animations more realistic, including the Motion Editor feature. > > **Cons**: I think the lack of 3D cameras is one of the problems that everyone is looking to see, and the price of the software is very expensive especially for beginners who want to enter this field > > I loved working on this software, and gained enough experience from it, I had no difficulty in learning it because I was using a user interface like it before and anyone who doesn't have any knowledge in animation can learn it easily ----- ### "Good, but could be better. HTML5 Banners." — 4.0/5 > **Christopher** | *21 February 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Adobe animate is good for making HTML5 banners, however it has hardly changed very much since it was Flash. I think it has fallen behind to Google Web Designer as my go to for HTML5 banners. I think it is easy to use but it lacks in new features or updates to it UI. > > **Cons**: The. interface is quite dated and hasn't changed in years. The auto keyframes and movement of layers and frames can be difficult and a bit sluggish. It feels like it needs a big overhaul and new features added. > > I had been using Animate for over 10 years and I found it easy to use and I liked my workflow for making HTML5 banners. It wasn't until I tried Google Web Designer, that I realised that there is a better and more efficient way to work. The product is good for making banners, but there are better alternatives now. ----- ### "Good app for creating very next level great animations." — 4.0/5 > **Mitali** | *3 March 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The image editing is superb in the adobe animate itself. The video editing with regard to animations is also quite good. There are so many transitions that offers a great choice to choose from. The drag and drop tool also works effectively and is very useful. > > **Cons**: i feel like the interface looks cluttered and can be even more improved. the design templates also need to be even more improved and increased with even more variety. > > Overall i find adobe animate to be a really good tool for creating very good animations. The animations and transitions in the app are very rich and diverse. ----- ### "My Favorite software in college\!" — 5.0/5 > **Ricardo** | *18 August 2021* | Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Out of all the adobe software we used in college, this was definitely my favorite. I learned the basic concepts of animation with this tool, in an easy and practical way. It is an excellent software as a starting point in animation, easy to adapt and very satisfactory initial results. > > **Cons**: Unfortunately, prices in south america does not help beginners. They should look for more accessible prices for countries whose currency is devalued. That would incentivize people to use more. > > In general, the user experience was very good, I was able to make animations for companies with very positive results. I made presentations, logo animations, banners for web pages and small animated personal projects. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/224668/adobe-animate?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/224668/adobe-animate) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
