If you have Adobe Animate and you're concerned about losing access to your FLA files, you can open them in Adobe Flash CS6 and re-save them. And then of course, CS6 files can be opened in CS5 and re-saved. And then CS5 files can be opened in CS4, etc.

$69 million in revenue per month.
$828 million in revenue a year.
Adobe is throwing away almost a billion dollars a year in revenue so they can focus on... AI. 🤢🤮

Called and spoke with Adobe customer support and the guy told me Adobe is discontinuing Animate because apparently the company can't think of any new features to add to the program and they feel it's gotten stale.

Adobe has a lot of software that's easy to replace with open-source or alternatives. However, they also have Animate. Their most unique piece of software, no other software has the same functionality. Anyway they cancelled it. It's gone.

I still use Adobe Animate all the time for character art. Adobe making it so that next year you can no longer even open up your project files is wild.

Adobe is evil.
I use Animate to build AIR apps. nothing else does this. so now there’s no way for me to access my OWN WORK after they pull the plug?
this should be illegal.

I have spent my career mastering Adobe Photoshop and I think its a coin-flip whether Photoshop is closed down and all Adobe software is combined into an AI prompt box.

Adobe shutting down Adobe Animate is such a harmful and devastating move to numerous animators and studios who still use the software and I can imagine how much damage they'll create if they stick to it. Adobe should be ashamed and I am firmly protesting this decision.

I AM FURIOUS.
Adobe Animate remains an industry standard for TV animation. Star Trek: Lower Decks was made in Animate. Haunted Hotel was made in Animate. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was made in Animate.
And because you can't buy a permanent licence anymore, it'll just be gone.

I keep seeing the “reminder don’t use Adobe here are the alternatives” image going around and folks, the problem is not just that Adobe sucks, the problem is they’re blocking legal access to decades of art files utilized by individuals and entire teams
