It's as if the instructor had composed it with the thought, "I wish someone had taught me this" when he didn't know anything about Animate in the past. I felt that way while watching it, but I felt that way even more after finishing it. I enjoyed it. It was very helpful.

I was looking for a class where I could learn how to animate, and I ended up taking this class. The class wasn't boring, and I was able to learn well and enjoyably. I especially liked that I could learn from scratch. I think the best part was that I was able to use the functions that I had only learned while practicing. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to start animating.

In short, this is a lecture that I look forward to next time! At first, I couldn't do it because of the unfamiliar tool called Animate and how to use it. However, as the teacher said, I tried to do it slowly and repeatedly without trying to understand it perfectly from the beginning. Then, in the second half, I found myself pressing shortcut keys and working! I was so proud ^-^b Also, while taking the class, I felt that the teacher had a wide range of knowledge and depth of knowledge about the parts needed for the class. He told me to tell him whenever I didn't know something, so I asked questions and sent emails all the time, and he answered me very quickly and accurately. I felt sorry but also grateful. Thanks to him, my questions were answered right away, and I had no trouble taking the next class. Personally, I would like to take an intermediate-level class as well. I think the class was made for beginners, but the more I listened to it and followed along, the more I thought that Animate was an extremely efficient and attractive tool. I think there will have to be a lot of students for the next lecture to come out... I have a complicated feeling of wanting to recommend something but also wanting to keep it to myself... You can keep this useful lecture for life by spending the price of two chickens. Just remember it...!

🚩Q & A

Q. Why should I learn Adobe Animate?

Animate is a versatile professional animation production program used by everyone from amateurs to experts.

This means the barrier to entry is low yet the tool remains professional, and to this day, international animation studios frequently use Animate to produce *cartoon-style TV show animations. (Watch related video)

Therefore, it can be used effectively for both individual and collaborative work.

*What is cartoon-style animation? An animation style currently airing on American cartoon channels.

[Link to list of international animations made with Animate (Click to view/New window)]

Q. What are the benefits of learning Adobe Animate?

First, since you can produce both *frame-by-frame and cut-out styles, you can express everything from original creative styles to popular mainstream styles. For your information, it is recommended for beginners to start with the cut-out method. This course combines both methods (10% frame-by-frame, 90% cut-out).

Second, since everything from drawing to animation is done within a single app, you can work quickly and efficiently.

Third, because it is based on vector drawing, you don't have to work on a large scale intentionally, and you can quickly save images or animations of various sizes.

*Frame-by-frame: A traditional production method of creating animation by drawing each frame one by one.
*Cut-out: A production method of creating animation by moving a single drawing.

Q. What is the difference between this and the Animate courses offered on other platforms?

A. This course focuses on cartoon-style animation using a tablet and emoticon production and planning.

The Class101 course covers comprehensive ways to use Animate, such as character animation drawn with a mouse, background animation production methods, and sound editing.

In any class, if there is anything you don't know, please leave a question at any time and I will help you as much as possible!

Hello, I am Grinemo, a freelance creator and Animate instructor.

I am currently running video courses on Class101 and Inflearn, and I conducted a month-long online Animate course for students in the media departments of specialized high schools through the Community Media Foundation. In addition, I have received lecture requests from various educational platforms, local governments, and public enterprises, and I am currently selling an Animate e-book in online bookstores after a successful funding campaign.

Many Animate (Flash) users build their careers by creating simple educational module animations. However, I have focused exclusively on producing creative animations with narratives, handling both story and animation myself for clients such as educational institutions, game companies, character agencies, and publishing houses.

After transitioning to a freelancer, I have completed various projects using only the Animate app, including serializing an official webtoon on BST, producing numerous outsourced animations for Pinkfong (the creator of Baby Shark), creating online promotional emoticons for Toyota, becoming a top revenue earner for Naver stickers, and working as a KakaoTalk emoticon creator.

Currently, as a freelance creator, I consistently produce original animations on my personal YouTube channel and am expanding my scope of activity as an Animate instructor.

The experience I have gained through new challenges and growth has become a great asset to me, and I am now sharing my know-how with those who want to take on challenges in the field of animation.

      Thank you for your review! This was my first lecture, and I started it without much thought, hoping to use Animate a lot, so there were many shortcomings, but I have revised and supplemented some of the lectures based on the questions and feedback from the students. You and I are Animate + Mate (friends), so please don't feel pressured and ask questions if you have any~.😄

    Please point out the key contents needed for making emoticons! I was able to learn more easily because I studied carefully by picking out the contents that I needed to know in each lecture. You also answered the questions left by others in detail!! I solved the problem by looking at that without having to ask a separate question. It was a really fun and worthwhile lecture. Thank you :-)
