This is huge news for the creative industry.
So they can focus on an industry that reaps zero profits?
When you realize the number of *still ongoing and in production* shows that use this software for production purposes, you have to wonder if there aren’t going to be some lawsuits brewing for Adobe dropping this so suddenly.
It’s funny to think that Adobe started because of Photoshop being used for early movie visual effects, and the company has completely lost sight of what their software is being used for.
Have they fixed their Adobe InDesign redistributables yet?
Oh right nope because I had to redo them again for 3 people this morning.
Can cut programs but can’t fix their garbage that takes administrator intervention EVERY… SINGLE… UPDATE…!
I was going to ask if there’s something in the water making Americans go mad, then I remembered all the stories about lead in their water, and, well, that’ll do it.
Apple needs to add an animation program to Creator Studio. It’s still another subscription to software at the end of the day but its competition against Adobe
The calls to open source this software are hilarious. Adobe would NEVER do such a thing, and this is reason number 9,958,428 why you should stop using Adobe products.
What’s the alternative? Toon Boom? Or just letting AI do all the work now?
I wish they could just shut down adobe. For only $29.99 a month!
Ideally this is a wakeup call that the legacy software model is dead. A creative coalition of some kind supporting an open-source alternative means they could never lose their tool (someone could always fork it).
As an enterprise level admin of adobe products in higher education, I absolutely loathe anytime Adobe announces anything. It’s never any good news, ever. Thanks Adobe, my students are ready to worship at your feet.
> Do you recommend another product for me to use?
> Customers with a Creative Cloud Pro plan can use other Adobe apps to replace portions of Animate functionality. Adobe After Effects supports complex keyframe animation using the Puppet tool, while Adobe Express offers one-click animation effects that can be easily applied to photos, videos, text, shapes, and other design elements.
Yes animation industry, just use our shitty After Effects puppets. It’s basically the same in the opinion of our executives with MBAs.
I bet it is nothing to do with AI, it just a front for a failed endeavor.
The new hbomberguy adobe video (first half anyway) is so on point on this exact thing
This is a massive fucking deal.
Many web animations were made with Flash and are still being made with Animate. Adobe killing this product off is either due to low commercial demand or them going full moron.
Looks like the answer is to switch to a free alternative like Tahoma2D, OpenToonz or Synfig Studio.
ok so … can macromedia buy it back for zero dollars?
Adobe is the worst.
That’s why everyone switched to Affinity suite
Working in flash led me to being a professional animator and become a senior in the games industry.
I used adobe products to learn and grow and gave them a bunch of money as a student for a CS5.5 creative Suite. Recently I found out, I cannot access it anymore because i activated the license on two computers whom died, and that locks me out of ever uninstalling, so my tokens are dead and support cant help.
For something that has affected my life so positively, I hope modern Adobe dies of as there is nothing of value left. I encourage anyone who wants to work in the creative field to please find alternatives as it WILL save you in the long run. Adobe can suck my ass
What are they even doing in the AI space?
It feels like Adobe and Microsoft specifically have spent the past decade deliberately shitting on their customers. They’ve given us every reason to despise them. I’m not sure they realize that the moment there are better alternatives on the market (which besides substance painter and animate and a few other programs, there already are) their customers will run for the hills – and Adobe will plummet into obsolescence like they rightly deserve.
Focus on AI? Sounds like a good way to make your customer base jobless.
So found this out today. I have a 2020 Acrobat Pro license. License expires Dec 1st 2026. But in November 2025, they shut down all support for it…yeah that prevents my ability to install my license and use it. Software installs, software then proceeds to fail at activation. Even after I used the Acrobat Customization Wizard to change the MSI to disable online mode requirements, nope. So my 3 year license expires a year early.
Fuckin hate Adobe
This fucking sucks so much.
I learned how to animate back when it was Macromedia Flash.
