This past week, I got an Adobe pop up window inviting me to try Adobe Animate.  As I&#8217;ll be teaching 2D animation in the fall and always use Adobe software, I thought, I should check out Animate&#8230; See how different it is from Flash.  I knew that Flash was being renamed Animate, but I also thought that Adobe would make some upgrades to the software.  So I clicked the pop up button and now my Flash is gone and I&#8217;m left with a one week trial of Animate!  As a CUNY professor on a CUNY computer, my Adobe software is legitimate.  I did not anticipate for my Flash software to be gone nor did I imagine that it would be replaced with a one week trial of Animate.  Meanwhile, I have projects to complete and a course to prepare for and Adobe has left me with a week long trial of software that I already owned&#8230;  Why would I ever want to have my students use this software when they pull this shit?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1125\" style=\"width: 730px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ambriente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Screen-Shot-2016-06-29-at-9.10.09-PM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1125\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ambriente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Screen-Shot-2016-06-29-at-9.10.09-PM-1024x750.png\" alt=\"Adobe deleted my copy of Flash and replaced it with a week long trial of Animate, what the fuck?!\" width=\"720\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ambriente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Screen-Shot-2016-06-29-at-9.10.09-PM-1024x750.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.ambriente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Screen-Shot-2016-06-29-at-9.10.09-PM-300x220.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ambriente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Screen-Shot-2016-06-29-at-9.10.09-PM-768x562.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ambriente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Screen-Shot-2016-06-29-at-9.10.09-PM-900x659.png 900w, https:\/\/www.ambriente.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Screen-Shot-2016-06-29-at-9.10.09-PM.png 1597w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1125\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adobe deleted my copy of Flash and replaced it with a week long trial of Animate, what the fuck?!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a long time user of Adobe Flash and I have used it in many animation classes.
