Workflow for creating animations for web (Creative Suite CS6)

Hi,
I was wondering about what the best workflow is for creating animated videos for the web (say, YouTube) once the project reaches the "computer" stage (i.e. story, look etc. are all decided).
Is it best to use Photoshop, Illustrator or Fireworks to draw everything if the software to animate these drawings is After Effects?
The project I'm talking about is as of yet hypothetical but would be relatively short (90 seconds) and simple as I don't have much experience with this at all - hence my question.
I've been looking around for a good set of basic tutorials but can't really work out how to go about this from start to finish using the Adobe Suite.
Thanks!

size is mort important than format. I prefer PSD files, but png, tiff, tga, even jpeg if you do not need transparency. Just make them big enough that at some point in your composition they are scaled to 100%. IOW, if you are drawing full frame animation cells for HD they do not need to be any bigger than 1920 X 1080 pixels. If you are going to scale them up or move in on some details then the area you are going to be pushing in on needs to be 1980 X 1920.

    You can't one way or the other. Serial numbers are platform specific and platform swaps only apply to current  versions, meaning you have to upgrade to CS6 and make the switch.

    I am trying to purchase Creative Suite CS6 Design Standard. I own a Max OSX. I live in Germany.  When I try to order for Germany, it gives me only an option for Windows, not Mac.  How can I order?

    In Germany no telephone number nor web chat is available.  Searching on the Adobe site tells me that this forum is the only avialable means to ask consumer questions.  I am giving up and ordering from elsewhere.

  • Download link for Adobe Creative Suite 4

    I have previously purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium which came nicely in a box with CD-Rom (for windows and mac) for installation.
    Recently, I have changed my pc into an iMac and I did not purchase the cd-drive. Now, I realised I couldnt install the CD-Rom, any idea is there any download link for Adobe Creative Suite 4 for mac users?
    Thanks.

  • "Access denied" errors in my Adobe Creative Suite CS6 for windows.

    I have just recently had some errors occuring in my Creative Suite CS6 for windows with certain operations.
    I have had my suite since last year and it has only recently started having error problems.
    My Suite has full administrative permissions and I have reinstalled it twice.
    I have tried to fix my Photoshop and Illustrator errors by preference resets but no change.
    I have looked at similar errors in the support forums and have come to no fixes.
    This is what I have come across
    Photoshop CS6 "save for web" feature says "error, oparation could not be performed. Access denied".
    Adobe Bridge CS6 error occurs when I try to close it, if I keep clicking on it eventually works.
    My Illustrator CS6 error occurs when I try to close the program, the actual button to close the program does not function, I have to go to file and exit then it has to close itself by windows force closing.
    They a very odd and I can't understand why now. If it is not my Suite it might my computer.
    I am little afraid to test my other programs however I dont use those programs as frequently since these are my web tools of preference.
    Help would be much appreciated and I hope it is fixable.

    STEP 1:
    FOUND MY PROBLEM (or half of it.)
    I went into my computer and then program files.
    I found that EVERY SINGLE TIME I click any of the Adobe Applications that say (64 Bit) they give me that error message I showed you in an above post.
    STEP 2:
    I clicked Adobe in program files.
    STEP 3:
    I can SUCCESSFULLY open any of my Adobe Apps that are not (64 bit)
    It turns out all of my desktop shortcuts of my adobe apps were all coincidentally 64 bit ones that don't work.
    SO- in conclusion I think I have partly solved my problem.
    I replaced all of my app shortcuts with the normal program files and NOT the 64 bit ones. BUT- I am worried....aren't the 64 bit versions of ANY apps you buy important?
    I do feel worried since my WINDOWS 7 PROFESSIONAL is a 64 bit OS. This would effect my programs correct?
    Feel free to use my story to help you solve other customers' stories. I would like my problem looked into, but I am only half as stressed now.

    I lost my disk for cs5 creative suite 5.5 design premium but I have product code and a new computer I want to reinstall. What can I do?

    You can download the software from the website and then type in your old serial number to activate it... that is, IF the installer database will work with your operating system. I am having problems reinstalling CS4 with a new computer running on Win 8.1. When I called customer support, they told me a whole lot of nothing for 45 minutes and then directed me to a chat session. After about 30 minutes on chat, I was basically told they don't offer support for older products. The website says "no known issues" for installation... but that very well may be because they are unwilling to record the issues when someone calls to report them! Good luck with your install. I wish I had CS5 at this point, as it appears there is still support available for it... but you are on the bubble timewise for that to continue. Other downloads
