Whats the best adobe software to create animations?

Hello,
I am  Graphic Designer not up to the date, and I was wondering which is the best program to create animations; graphics, 3D, etc.
I would really appreciate your help. I am first time checking into a great and interesting community.
Thanks,

Hi WildInk,
If you're not very techie I'd probably stick with Photoshop and continue to create animated gifs for web banners. You could also create stuff in Flash but I'm thinking Photoshop would be better for you. The process would be the same in Photoshop CS6 as CC.
This kind of stuff would still apply

  • What is the best Adobe program for creating animated UI concepts for compositing?

    I'm starting work on a concept of what an OS using the Oculus Rift might be like, mostly for fun. But I'm not sure what program would best suit my needs for that sort of work. I currently have the Photography CC pack, and I have Premiere CC as well. Would photoshop's animation systems work best, or is there something else I would have a better time with? I would need something that could output plain jane image frames with alpha channels.
    I have a fair amount of experience with photoshop, but the few times I've used it's animations features I've had a hell of a time figuring things out and doing certain things. Should I just learn that, or is there something that would work significantly better?

    For help with Photoshop, go to Photoshop General Discussion
    Otherwise, I have no idea

    Do you want free or do you want the best, your original post said best, now you are saying free. This is a contraction, there is no such thing as best free. There is such a thing as free and such a thing as best.
    Also is your focus video or photos?????

  • What is the best free software to create an advert on?

    I am looking to create a couple of adverts both poster and video, i was wondering what is the best free software to make these on?

    For laying out the poster ad
    Free, open source apps.
    GImp (free, open source Photoshop replacement)
    http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
    PIxelmator (cheap near Photoshop-like replacement)
    http://www.pixelmator.com/
    Free Vector drawing app.
    Inkscape
    http://www.inkscape.org/en/download/mac-os/
    Drawberry
    http://raphaelbost.free.fr/DrawBerry.html
    Free Page Layout app, if needed.
    If this is already on your Mac.
    Apple Pages app.
    OR Free, open source
    Scribus OS X
    http://www.scribus.net/canvas/Scribus
    There aren't very many free video editors for Mac OS X.
    If this is already on your Mac,
    iMovie
    KDenlive
    http://kdenlive.org/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive
    LIghtworks OS X
    http://www.lwks.com/
    A few caveats about Lightworks video editor.
    OS X version is free to download and use as a public beta testing.
    This is a very comprehensive video editor, but for free use, you have to register as a public beta tester and every week you use this you have to re-register the app and answer a survey of questions about the software.
    If you do not comply with the beta testing rules and procedures, and the developer believes you are not actively invovled with the beta testing to help develope and improve this app, the developer has the right to discontinue your free use of the software and you will no longer be able to use or activate the software.
    I really wanted to try this software for free, but didn't want to have to be tied to the beta testing rules, constant developement surveys, questions and weekly re-registering as a beta tester for the use of this software.

  • Is Edge Animate the best Adobe program for creating app demos?

    I would like to create an animated demo (video?) that shows a mobile app UX as if someone is interacting with it...(ie. fly-out menus, zooming, scrolling, etc.) It is not meant to be interactive but rather just observed by the audience. I plan to include these in my online portfolio but I am not sure which Adobe app would best accomplish this. Is Edge Animate the best option for me?
    Here is a great example of what i am trying to achieve...
    Behance

    When you say "App demos", are you referring to software applications? If so, Adobe Captivate is something to consider.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Finding the Best Adobe software for my document

    I need help to find the Adobe software that I can use for my project. I have created a document in Microsoft Word that is 180 pages. I want the form created with unlimited expandable fields. Inside the fields I want to have grayed out type that gives a client an idea of what to fill in. This grayed out type will go away when they fill in their information.Can I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro Designer for this?

    Hi,
    Yes, you can use LiveCycle Designer (which comes bundled with Acrobat. However an 180 page XFA Form may become unresponsive particularly if it contains a lot of script or dynamic behaviour.
    Also there are certain restrictions that the user may face depending on the software they are using (Acrobat or Reader) and whether the form has been Reader Enabled (and how it was Reader Enabled). See summary here: http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
    Good luck,

  • What's the Best Free Software to create slide shows?

    Hi,
    I have to edit a movie on FinalCut ProX that includes beside interviews,  a lot of photographs.
    I usually animate them using the program it self (transform features and motion) but it takes too long.
    Could someone advice me if there is any application available and free that I can download from the Internet?
    I've tried Picassa which is Ok but a bit too simple with not too many templates.
    It has to be an application that permits to export the slide show and use it further in The FinalCut Pro X project.
    Thanks a Lot!

    Have you used Motion by chance?
    Yes.
    Motion can do a lot of amazing things. But if you're looking for speed ("FCPX…takes too long") and templates, you need to look elsewhere.
    Perhaps you should download the Lightroom trial.
    Or for a dedicated slideshow app, Foto Magico.
    Best of luck.

  • What is the best Adobe for designing logos?

    I Have a website www.savingsradar.co.uk and my daughter made the logo I have but I need to attempt to do one myself now but I'm unsure of the best Adobe software, any advice is much appreciated

    I can't speak for other Adobe products but Photoshop Elements is certainly a good choice if your logo includes basic shapes such as circles, ovals, rectangles, etc. PSE also has an extensive set of drawing shapes; here are a few examples:
    Also note that the PSE text tools use the fonts in your operating system.
    Is there anything in particular you are looking to do?

    Whats the best software for photo editing and creating product catalogues that can be saved as PDF's

    You are asking two different questiions:
    1. What's a good photo editor? Answer to that here is probably obvious.
    2. What's a good desktop publishing/page layout program for creating PDF files for production? Answer, not PSE. It's a photo editor, not a page layout program.

    To learn how to defend yourself from the threat of adware read How to install adware.
    There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
    You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
    Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
    Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
    OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up",  "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
    Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    "Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
    If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver movies or other copyrighted content "for free".
    The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

    What is the best antivirus software for a Macbook Pro...I recently received a message from Google that someone made an attempt to hack into my mail account and I needed to change my PW and verify myself as the user.  The message suggested that I run a virus scan to check for sny malware or other types of viruses.  I do not have any software for this and up until now have not had a problem....any help is appreciated.  I would like a simple but effective solution!

    It's worth noting that if your Gmail has been hacked, it would likely have nothing to do with your MacBook.  Hacking web based email is fairly common and it doesn't require any access to your machine whatsoever.  In the same way that you can simply go to the Gmail webpage through any browser, any hacker can use the same method.  It doesn't mean your machine has been compromised in any way (and it has likely not been).  I have never received an email from Google of this nature.  I have received notifications when someone has attempted to create an account with my name in which they basically say that there is no action required if you're the rightful owner.
