Adobe宣布Flash更名为Animate CC

Adobe公司刚刚宣布将Flash Builder更名为Adobe Animate CC，加入对HTML5的支持，帮助开发人员创建更多Flash网站，广告和动画电影。经过20多年发展，Adobe Flash Professional应用程序现在开始迈向HTML 5新时代。几年前，Adobe将大部分Flash事业部员工转移到新的部门来开发HTML5，CSS3和SVG等等。

现在，Adobe公司宣布，Flash Professional未来版本会采用崭新的名字 – Animate CC，为通过HTML5和SVG产生动画效果提供了另一种选择。Animate CC 将继续支持Flash SWF文件，但是目前已经没有人使用Flash来制作网站。Flash唯一保持生命力的地方是在线广告，其中基于Flash的动画广告仍然无所不在。但是，自从推出HTML5之后，Flash音频和视频源数量已经显著下降。

多年来，许多安全专家都要求Adobe停止继续支持Flash，许多用户也纷纷加入声讨行列，他们拒绝在浏览器中安装Flash。因此，Adobe通过重新命名其产品提供一个折中方案，很多人会认为这是Flash灭亡的第一个迹象。

For nearly two decades, Flash Professional has been the standard for producing rich animations on the web. Because of the emergence of HTML5 and demand for animations that leverage web standards, we completely rewrote the tool over the past few years to incorporate native HTML5 Canvas and WebGL support. To more accurately represent its position as the premier animation tool for the web and beyond, Flash Professional will be renamed Adobe Animate CC

Here’s what you can expect in Animate CC:

Drawing, illustration and authoring

Vector art brushes – Modify the path of a stroke after it’s been drawn, and scale them to any resolution without losing quality. You can also make custom brushes and import brushes created with Adobe Capture CC.

360° rotatable canvas – Rotate the canvas on any pivot point as you draw to get the perfect angle and strokes. You can even use this feature with a Wacom Cintiq!

Improved pencils and brushes – Draw smooth, precise vector outlines along a curve and get faster live previews.

Easier audio syncing – Control audio looping directly on the timeline, without having to code.

Faster color changing – Naming tagged colors lets you change one color and have it automatically update your entire project.

Colored onion skinning – Easily orchestrate complex animations now that adjacent frames can have different color and alpha values.

CreativeSync integration

Adobe Stock – Browse and license millions of high-quality photos, illustrations and vector graphics directly in Animate CC. You can even add life to static content by adding animations to them.

Creative Cloud Libraries – Access colors, vector graphics and brushes directly as you work.

[Update 2/8: We’ve also added Typekit integration!]

Output capabilities

Multiplatform support: HTML5 Canvas, WebGL, Flash (SWF), AIR, video, and custom platforms (such as SVG) via extensions.

4K+ video export – Export videos with custom resolutions for the latest Ultra HD and Hi-DPI displays.

Custom resolution export – Revitalize older content by resizing and optimizing them for any resolution, such as Ultra HD and Hi-DPI displays.
