Adobe Flash Pro CS6
****
Much
like After Effects this program has plenty of features to entice both
the professional animator as well as the average Joe that wants to make a
simple animation for any reason. Flash Pro has a code language called
Action Script. This can seem a little daunting at first, as many
animators don't know much about coding at first. Action Script is,
luckily, very helpful in that regard. It uses fairly logical commands
like onClick(do function) which makes it easier to learn than some other
coding languages. There is also a system which allows the user to go
through a list of functions to help build the code initially. There are
also countless tutorials that, besides the ones I will post, are just a
google search away. Besides the coding process this program functions
similarly to other adobe products. It has basic shape tools as well as a
few more advanced options to build anything from a circle that flies
across the screen to a ninja jumping from building to building. The
simple user interface and ability to quickly learn the functions makes
this a must have for any animator. Like other Adobe products however, it
is somewhat expensive but definitely worth the cost. I would recommend
downloading the trial before the product itself and both can be found here.
Overall I would rate this product a solid 4 out of 5 for its simplicity
and look as well as for the unfortunately high price.
