Football commentary out of context. Animated my greatest fear in the Cole Palmer scenario! 🫣😂

@mesh You mentioned Animate will continue to receive bug fixes. Does that include improving performance and stability on Apple Silicon Macs? I’ve experienced significant issues since moving to a newer Mac model.

I just shared an update on Adobe Animate over on reddit (/r/adobeanimate), and given the conversations on X, wanted to also share here. Its a bit long, as there is a lot of info, so I also included a screenshot of the core info on Animate. TLDR: We have made some changes to to our plans for Adobe Animate, and it will continue to be available for both new and existing users Hey everyone, my name is Mike Chambers, and I work on the community team at Adobe (and am a long time Flash / Animate user). Yesterday, Adobe shared an email with Adobe Animate customers on the future of Animate. What we shared did not meet our standards and caused a lot of confusion and angst within the community. On behalf of Adobe, I want to apologize. While an email to all Animate customers will go out shortly, I wanted to quickly share a few things: 1) our standard approach for applications in maintenance mode, 2) changes to our plans for Adobe Animate and its status, and 3) our commitments to ensuring that you always have access to your content, regardless of the state of development of an application. Standard Approach for Applications in Maintenance Mode If we deprioritize active development of an application, our approach is to move that application into maintenance mode with continued support. Under maintenance mode, the application will continue to be available, will continue to receive security and bug fixes, but will not get new features. If we decide to go a step further and discontinue a product, we will work closely with the community to ensure they have adequate time to plan in order to minimize disruption and will take steps so that the community continues to have long-term access to their content. Current State of Adobe Animate Adobe Animate is in maintenance mode. While we are no longer adding new features to Animate, we will continue to support it and provide ongoing security and bug fixes. More importantly, Animate will continue to be available for both new and existing users. This is a change from what we communicated in the email yesterday for the status of Adobe Animate, its time-frame, and availability. To be clear, we are not discontinuing or removing access to Adobe Animate and it will continue to be available to both existing and new customers. Commitments for long-term content/file Access For Adobe Animate, our commitment is to work with the community to ensure users continue to have long term access to their content, regardless of the state of development of the application. On a personal note, as someone who started their career with Macromedia Flash 3 and Macromedia Generator, Adobe Animate has a special place in my heart. I know how frustrating and stressful this has been and we clearly could have handled and communicated this better. I might not have answers to everything, but I will try to answer any questions you might have.

Adobe Animate is no longer being discontinued • Comes after backlash from tens of thousands of users • Support will continue — but new features won’t be added going forward

After 18 years of paying subscriptions, I won’t even be able to open my own project files. @Adobe surely older versions should remain accessible so we can at least access our own work?

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.

@thecomputerclan I hope Sahil is right, because my support person gave a completely different (Doomsday) answer.

Update on this Adobe mess… The wording on the FAQ is very confusing. I spoke with a customer service rep who said you can still use Animate and .fla files after the EOL date as long as the app and files are stored locally on your system.

Not only removing it, but locking access to created files is unnecessarily diabolical
