Or truthfully I should say if it had not been for MACROMEDIA Flash version 5. It is very likely that I would not be “an animator” if it had not been for Adobe Flash. Who really likes reading an editorial that plays it safe, though? Today I’ll be telling you why as an animator, you shouldn’t touch Adobe Flash with a ten-foot pole, and if it’s on your computer right now the “Delete” button should be your next move. Anticipation and Overshoots are Extremes, because. Normally the “right answer” is somewhere in the middle and not at the extremes An extreme keyframe is the moment where a change in direction occurs. This, coupled with the ability to create your own keyboard shortcuts means that you, the animator, can make this app as intuitive or as complex as you like.I try to keep a pretty level head about most topics, from the big ones to the small stuff. Perhaps what we like most about this app is that, even though it’s aimed at the pros, it also comes with a beginner mode, meaning that others can start off with zero knowledge and take the time to get to know the app until they feel it’s time to switch the beginner mode off. You can do this by using your computer mouse or by drawing with a tablet pen.

Another neat feature we like about Moho is the ability to draw vector shapes within the app itself. Like many tools, on the list, you can import your own asset or choose from their library, which includes all sorts of scenes, props, stock audio files and characters that are ready to go. When it comes to editing the animations and creating movement, you can use the bone pinning feature to animate and reshape assets. In terms of image editing, using bitmap drawing tools and brushes, you can create complex and unique textures and fancy effects. Lastly, other features include the obvious ones – a good scrubbing feature, colorized takes, the ability to hide or isolate certain tracks and a grouping feature for easy organization. With adobe Sensei, you can import audio tracks and the app does all of the work for you and animates the character by intelligently mapping the audio track to facial expressions and movements, all done with machine learning. One of the other really interesting features that separates adobe character animator from other apps on this list is the Adobe Sensei feature. It’s also very easy to import art from other apps and then just animated it using your webcam. Of course, being an Adobe product, the integration with apps like after effects and premiere pro is like one big happy family. We’re not quite sure why most digital animators would need such a feature on a regular basis, but hey – it sure is a cool addition! The tracking software is so powerful that it’s even able to track your eye movements in real-time and map them onto your animated character. But the craziest thing? You can even livestream your animations so that others can tune in as you animate.
