That said, I didn’t run into any issues while using it, aside from a slight calibration issue with my display monitor, but it wasn’t major enough to turn me off.

In terms of 2D animation software that ISN’T hot garbage, I’ve really only used OpenToonzfor like… one project. And then I look at its horrible, puppy-kicking, deadbeat stepbrother and I wonder what the hell went wrong. Adobe Photoshop 2018 is my baby, my golden child, and my absolute most favorite program in the whole world. As much as I abhor Adobe Animate, I don’t think ALL Adobe products are garbage.I still have free access to the entire Adobe suite through my school’s email, though that will expire around May.I’ve been using Flash/Adobe Animate since the late 2000s and I’m extremely comfortable with it, as garbage as it is.You might be wondering “medli, why the hell are you still using Adobe Animate? Or Adobe products in general, for that matter?” To which I answer:

I’ll update to the most recent 2020 version and see if I see an improvement in performance.
I figured “well maybe it’s because I’m using the 2018 version so it’s just out of date. I’ve had these problems before, while I was working on my “ Listen to Liszt” animation and it was awful then. Because despite running on a computer that is specifically built to be tanky in order to render animations, Adobe Animate has trouble actually using your computer’s hardware to function. I didn’t even think it was possible for a basic-ass digital tool to bleed. Sometimes Adobe Animate will chug like hell and require that you sit through a progress bar when you put down a stroke– and not even a long one, but just a short, basic stroke, like 2 inches long.
Sometimes you’ll draw a straight-ass line, and Adobe Animate will suddenly want to pretend to be an old-school fountain pen and bleed all over your canvas. It will interpret a brush stroke as “I want to delete the entire fill selection that this stroke touches, because using a tool that CREATES pigment means that I want to ERASE it, surely.” Sometimes it will think that the brush tool is actually the eraser, despite the fact that you VERY CLEARLY have the brush tool selected. It’s also fucky at interpreting your audio so you’ll get desync issues or it’ll crackle when you export to video. It’s a garbage program that crashed on me (no joke, no hyperbole) at least a dozen times as I was working on this animation. That said, you should absolutely not use it. I use Adobe Animate, which is the re-branded version of Flash.
