    As a someone who been using either GIMP or pirated CS6 since 2012, havent been keeping hand on an Adobe pulse. What did they do this time? I know about subscription over the one time purchase thing. But what happened recently?

      They’re calling it quits on their animation software, and a lot of people who used it in their workflow are very upset.

        I see. Just checked a vid of some YouTube animation artist. They just gave Adobe animate 1 month before removing it from suite. Woah… Even Flash had few years to live after a discontinuation announcement.

          I read somewhere that Star Trek Lower Decks and like, Bluey, and other big players used it too.

          Like, if Star Trek is using your product, maybe keep it around?

          Not just YouTube animators. Professional production companies making scripted televised cartoons use Animate.

          It’s the animation equivalent of ending Photoshop or Premiere suddenly.
