Interface
We’ll start by going over the Animate interface, understanding how to work with different layouts, using the drawing tools, and symbols, understanding the timeline, and working with colors.
Animation Principles
After covering our bases, we'll go over some basic principles of animation, like timing, spacing, and working in passes, just so we're all on the same page.
Hand-drawn Animation
After knowing our way around Animate CC, we'll dive straight into the nitty gritty of animating our first shot, using hand-drawn, frame-by-frame animation. All the way from key posing to cleanup to final color.
Animating with Tweens
Then we'll cover a different approach to animation, using tweening, which is one of Animate's most powerful tools. We cover motion tween, classic tween, and shape tween, using each for a different situation.
Storyboards and Animatic
We'll take a moment to discuss storyboarding and show how to create an animatic directly in Animate. We'll add some sound, and prepare our scene for final animation.
Animating a Rigged Character
And finally, we'll get to animating our second shot, this time using a rigged character instead of frame-by-frame animation. We'll show how to rig the character from scratch (using parenting and the bone tool) as well as cover the process of lip-syncing.
Usable Rig Included!
The course includes access to a fully designed and rigged character, which is available for download. With this rig, you can practically apply the techniques and principles taught within the course.
Super detailed,
fast-paced.
We dislike long, drawn-out tutorials. We prefer bite-sized lessons with a clear, direct structure that gets straight to the point without losing important information.

Frequently Asked Questions
I have Adobe Animate, not Flash. Is that the same thing? Will the course work for me?
Yes, Adobe changed the name from Flash to Animate, but that did not affect the way the program works in any way, so you would be able to follow all the lessons in the course with either Flash or Animate.
Is the software included in the course?
No, this is a course, not the actual software. You will have to buy Animate at adobe.com
What hardware do I need?
As long as you have a relatively modern computer and can run Adobe Animate and connect to the internet, you should be good to go.
What if I don’t like the course?
No worries, the course comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don’t like the course, simply email us and you’ll get a full refund, no questions asked.
Will I always have access to the class or is it just for a limited time?
You will always have access to all the courses and products you purchase from Bloop.
Will I get the whole course right away, or will it be available over a period of time?
You will have access to the entire course and materials immediately after purchasing.
I’ve never used this program before. Will I be lost?
This course was created assuming you’ve never used the program before. We go over all the basics to make sure you are able to follow along.
I don’t know how to animate. Will I be able to follow?
Yes, however, I should mention that this course does not teach the concepts of animation, but rather shows you the tools and methods for animating with the software. Check out our Animation Foundations course for the basic principles of animation.
