All right, in this video we're gonna talk about  where did Flash go and where did, uh, Adobe Edge animate go? Um, so to confuse everybody, they've done some weird stuff. So originally, uh,  all banner ads were done in this thing called Adobe Flash. Okay. Um, so that sits over here. Then nobody was using it, um,  because yeah, it got left behind.

So they created this new product called Adobe Edge Animate. Okay. Edge is the key. They made this cool little product and I've been teaching it  for a good long while now. And, uh, just before I started this video course, just  before, okay, maybe about four  or five months ago, that's what I was gonna do. This exact same course about Edge Animate.

It was great. Brilliant. I love it. But Adobe are now discontinuing it,  so they're not gonna support it anymore. It's still around. Okay.

But you can't, they're not gonna make a new version. So I've had to scrap that one even though I really liked it. Okay. And we have to move to this new one,  this new thing called Adobe Animate, not Edge Animate. He's still over there. Okay.

He's not longer gonna be supported. So Adobe Animate, what is he? Okay, all he is is Adobe Flash that was sitting over there. They've renamed it. Why? Um, two reasons.

One is they've changed all the technology inside of it. Okay? Um, it operates the same. So you still use the timeline animation  and you still use all your skills from  Flash and it looks the same. And it works essentially the same,  but it outputs HTML five now. But everybody out there in internet land  couldn't get their head around.

Flash is making HTML five. Everyone I'd go to and they'd say, ah,  you should use Flash for your banner aids. They're like, oh, I can't use Flash. Like, you can 'cause it output outputs H TML five. And they're like, no, no, no. Can't use Flash.

Doesn't work on mobile. I'm like, yeah,  but the Flash program is changed now. It does HTML five, so it can like, yeah, don't use Flash. Doesn't work on mobile. And you're like, okay. So I can see what Adobe have done.

But what they've done is they've created a name that kind  of mixes 'em all up. So Adobe Flash, Adobe Anate has become Adobe Animate. I Made Any Clearer. And Adobe Animate is just a renaming of the old Flash stuff. So you'll find lots of stuff online that'll say things like,  uh, the help files are just being,  they just went switch the name. Okay.

So now they say Adobe Animate. So there's some really old, um, flash, okay. Uh, help files that are just being rebranded. Um, Adobe Animate, and they're making  everything a little confusing online. So have I made it any less confusing? Maybe not.

Okay. But, um, we're learning Adobe Animate. That's all you need to know.
