Adobe Flash/Animate is an animation and interactive media industry standard software. With it, we can create animation projects such as short films, commercials and even big projects such as television shows. While it is capable of being the only software used for all parts of an animated project, it’s not necessarily a compositing, video editing or sound software. Thus, it’s best utilized with other software such as Premiere and After Effects for animated projects. Flash is capable of both frame-by-frame animation, as well as other, more complex puppeting animation. However, while it has some camera functionality, it’s rather limited with it and again if you’d like to imply 3D space you’re best off including other software with more powerful camera features and manipulation, such as After Effects. However, what makes Flash different from other animation software is that it’s also built for interactivity, and with it you can create interactive projects, websites (though it’s a risky program to use for websites because of SEO), e-cards and video games.

About Adobe Flash
The development of Adobe Flash software can be traced back to American software developer Jonathan Gay’s first experiments with writing programs on his Apple II computer in high school during the 1980s. Before long, Gay had written a graphics program for the Apple II using Pascal. Later, he teamed up with a local Macintosh users-group organizer, Charlie Jackson, who started a Macintosh software company called Silicon Beach Software. At Silicon Beach Software, Gay combined animation and digital sound to create the Macintosh electronic game Airborne!. Eventually, in his drive to create animation software compatible with Apple Inc.’s Macintosh and Microsoft Corporation’s Windows programs, he produced Smart Sketch, a program in which users could draw on the computer screen with an electronic pen. This was the start of his own software company, Future Wave Software, in the mid-1990s.
As the Internet grew in popularity, Future Wave added two-dimensional animation features to Smart Sketch that let Internet users display graphics and animation over the World Wide Web, and Future Splash Animator was born. The program’s first success came when Microsoft used the software for their MSN Web site. Macromedia, Inc., bought the rights to Future Splash Animator in 1996, creating Macromedia Flash, which became Adobe Flash after Adobe purchased Macromedia in 2005. Adobe Flash allows users to create animation for use on the Internet, and Adobe’s Flash Player is one of the most widely distributed applications on the Internet.
