A new age for animation.
Any platform. Any device. Any style.
Design interactive animations with
cutting-edge drawing tools and publish
them to multiple platforms — including
Flash/Adobe AIR, HTML5 Canvas, WebGL,
or even custom platforms — and reach
viewers on broadcast TV or virtually any
desktop or mobile device.

9. Why Rebrand Flash Professional?
“To more accurately represent its position as the premier animation
tool for the web and beyond, Flash Professional will be renamed Adobe
Animate CC, starting with the next release in early 2016.”
“Animate CC will continue supporting Flash (SWF) and AIR formats as
first-class citizens. In addition, it can output animations to virtually any
format (including SVG), through its extensible architecture.”
