Adobe Animate CS6 (Adobe Flash) [Free Version]

Adobe Animate CS6 comes with a variety of 2D vector animation tools. It allows me to create professional frame-by-frame animations, motion tweens, and shape tweens. The program supports an impressive level of detail, making it an excellent animation software for anime suitable for basic and advanced tasks.

I like the fact that I can create sprite sheets quickly. The program supports integration with AIR, which allows me to generate custom language codes and use extensions, which optimizes my workflow significantly. This option will come in handy for those who want to create interactive animations for websites and create modules for online classes.

Even though this version is outdated, Animate CS6 has an impressive user base, so you can find plenty of Adobe Animate tutorials, forums, and resources. It helped me to find answers to the questions I was interested in and hone my skills with community support.

Even though I have been working as an animator for years, it’s still challenging for me to fully master all the features available in Adobe Animate CS6.

It’s difficult to figure out how to use its tools, as there are so many of them. It makes this software hardly suitable for beginners. Besides, ActionScript is not intuitive enough. Due to this, I had to spend some time to learn how to make the most out of this software.

The interface of Adobe Animate CS6 is a bit outdated and convoluted, compared to Adobe Animate alternatives. As I prioritize workflow optimization, I do not like the fact that this software is difficult to navigate. It prevents me from finding the right tools without wasting a lot of time. Due to this, I often get frustrated and cannot complete my projects on time.
