Adobe Animate
·
Templates – shows and sets the
stage to general dimensions for certain formats i.e. banner ad or iPhone app
·
Scale along the bottom – numbers show
frames
·
Graphics are vector based, not
pixel based
·
Merge drawing mode – adds new
drawings to previous drawings to make them joint pieces i.e. if you remove one
part of the drawing it will leave an empty space
·
Object drawing mode – draws
everything as separate objects and therefore they can be layered on top of one
another (for example) and therefore can be moved around without affecting the
other drawings/objects

have their own layer
