What I learned from this video : Pirate Adobe Flash /or/ Adobe Animate

Synfig looks pretty alright, I might try it

Adobe also gave the Flash 2004 MX licence key away on their site itself. Sooo...

I did my first animation I did using wick editor!

i remember downloading pivot on the school computer and making an animation of a stick figure getting crushed by the alphabet and idk why

Alan becker can you please make a brief video on Tupitube,Flipaclip cartoon animation and Rough animator animation app(android or ios).Please its a great request of your one of the biggest fan and yeah too list some extra your opinion animation apps for android or ios.Please👍

Drawing cartoons 2: Am I A Joke For You?

Thank you alan becker

I started with flipaclip cuz why not its the best animation app on google play rn

alan :mentions pivot animator me : THAT'S THE THING IM TRYING TO REPLACE ._.

Pivot... Such nostalgia. Spending entire break and lunch times on my school's computers, playing unblocked games with friends and animating on pivot when I could have been actually eating my lunch.

When I was a kid, I thought the Animation vs. Animator was made using Pivot.

"Flash does cost money to use, legally." :^)

I have been using Wick for almost 2 years and I learnt a lot of things throughout my journey, it's genuinely underrated and more people starting with animation need to use it! It's kind of like Scratch, but with less limitations such as the 480p project size and 30 fps! Wick has no watermark, no fps cap, no resolution cap, although the sound can be a bit confusing and not as optimizable as the other features. Definitely give it a try, they even have tutorials on their own channel!

I like how he says :" legally" at the beginning

This video has been "removed" because of a flashyright claim on adobe

I originally started with Pivot, it was really easy to use, especially for stick figures. However it gets a bit challenging when trying to make animations with dialogue, that's why I switched to Flash.

Do you have any update? Which is the best one now, in 2019?

OMG the people of Wick Editor before it got big came to my school and actually showed us how to use the software I'm surprised that you showed this in your video!

I remember I've used Paint and Windows Movie Maker once...

This will definitely help out a lot!

Honestly once explained it's fairly intuitive. Thank you for breaking it down so nicely for us newbies! Can't wait to play with the full version

I use pivot, and I love it. It’s amazing for starter animators as you don’t have to keep on redrawing the same thing, while still keeping everything look great.

When i was a kid, i thought these "animator vs animation" videos were real. I didn't knew the meaning of animation, i thought the animiation meant the stickmans in your pc and the animator means the cursor. Man i remember i installed a virus just to get the animation in my pc

I used to watch this knowing I would never get Adobe Animate but then I actually got it for Christmas and now I’m watching this laughing

Pivot has a 2019 update now

Fun fact: everyone's first animation was bouncing ball 😂

i dont have money to learn animations so istart watching alans vids now im a animator thank u very much if watching this comment im ur big fan

Ok, so i saw this video and i think "i should comment something positive about his list to say thanks", then i saw the video was uploaded 3 years ago and i was like "oh damn, it's too late", but it doesn't matter to me. Thank you so much for the list

.....Here's what I heard out of the beginning...... ".....Alternative to Adobe Flash, which DOES cost money to use... ....legally."

I recommend 2 things for animating: - Firealpaca to draw the frames - GoPlay Editor to add music, filters, and more + upload it straight from there

resume: pirate flash

You need to be very careful with some programs, (mainly from third-party downloading sites) especially without "external" antivirus programs (ones you have bought) although windows does decent it fails to detect alot, and even with good antivirus programs you still need to be very careful with what you agree to, for example some installers ask if you want *-X-* program to come with or something like that. I apparently got a Trojan horse virus from downloading some video editing software that was legit but the installer was weird and I skipped most of it, thankfully I do have a good antivirus though. This turned out longer than I was thinking but I hope it helps someone.. If anyone takes the time to read this that is lol.

hey alan! Rough Animator says a free trial and we cant save in free trial so whats the point of animating in there if we cant save or export in it? do we record instead then? wtf?

How do you make onion skin in Vectorian Giotto?

I use flipaclip for animation and it works really good It's free, good quality, and many people use it If you want you can buy add ons but they aren't necessary

i swear i watched this video more than 10 times , i really like how it works

The Wick Editor is my favourite Flash alternative. Tweening and nesting animation features work really well.

hey alan, first off, I wanted to say I've been a huge fan of your work since the days I spent on stickpage back in middle school. your animations have always fascinated and entertained me and I hope you never stop! you're a truly awesome guy. secondly, I want to thank you for posting this video in particular, as it's definitely going to help me start my own animations and my own youtube story. I've never had enough money to afford the flash programs when I first started, so I was never really able to get anything done, but now i'm going to do my best with vectorian and entertain many people as possible. keep on going dude, I hope this train keeps going for a long time!

For ios and android i suggest flipaclip and rough animator (the last one isn't free but damn it's good)

the fact he hasnt mentioned flipaclip tho

Wanna hear a joke? Pencil2D.

When you said windows phone, I couched.

Also you can scretch segments in Pivot by holding Ctrl.

2019: Blender

Macromedia Flash MX 2004 is legally free

I was hoping that flipaclip would show up :(

With Ctrl, in Pivot Animator you can Squeeze

Flipaclip is a great phone animation app. I used it before and had no problems exept the awful community

They forgot macromedia xD

2:00 this program was recently released on the widows 10, pretty excited 😆

Wow Thanks Now im Can Animate With vectorian giotto

Stick nodes on Mobile devices is a really good alternative, too, I use it for my animations (Which I don't include in my channel)

I use Pencil 2D, It's simple and I like it

Thanks, Alan! I started an animation on Wick Editor and love it! I noticed that when using a mouse and using the pencil tool, the program straitens/corrects frames so it doesn't look so messy.

2:56 We Have that on our School computer

Hey Alan. Can you please credit both S. Pascalopol and myself for the animation at 3:01? S. Pascalopol added sound effects, but I animated the entire thing. Great video as always. These tutorials are always super informative.

No One: I own Macromedia Flash 8 in 2023.

1:37 "boceta" "boceta2" "boceta3" XD That's "c*nt" in Portuguese!

1:50 Can you explain why Homer is there

Pivot Animator has some malwares in it. Be careful!

also shoutout to OpenToonz :)

The Wick Editor software mentioned is basically the ultimate bargain bin Adobe Flash; In my opinion, Wick is just as great, if not better than Flash, and thanks to the software, I can now easily make browser games and cartoons with more complex characters without going through the hassle of using TextEdit/Notepad or doing traditional animation. :D

Video: How to get animation program for making animation People: I dont think its free, GET READY TO PIRATE THOSE PROGRAMS. Video : *Tells some program are free People : Wait what?!

Vectorian Giotto download doesn’t work it brings you to FlippaClip

Wait what's better Flash MX 2004 or Vectorian Giotto?

3:24 Actually if you hold control while moving a joint then it can get shorter and longer

3:35 it’s pronounced Victorian jotto

I've been using Pivot Animator since 2013. You can stretch a certain part of a stick figure by holding ctrl and dragging it anywhere. Enlarging a part hold alt and drag it outward to enlarge and vice versa. Ctrl alt rotates the pivot by where the mouse is at the pivot part as the center. You can also import sprites but ctrl and alt does the same thing (squeezes them).

@ AlanBeckerTutorials - Can you make an updated version for 2021? plz

Me: sees visible undo button on Giotto INVEST

I use flipaclip a free mobile animation app and I find it easier than animation desk

Fun facts the video that you listed Alan becker was copyright claimed by adobe and RU-vid took it down

honestly the best soft tutorial ive ever seen. short and straight to the point ! i love it

THANK YOUU I'm just a kid and I don't have any money, I can't really use my adobe flash again but I really want to learn animation. So this has been really helpful. Thank you very much

What about OpenToonz ?

animate wick editor tupi 2d magic sucks to macromedia flash mx and cs6

Pivot!!! xD

2019 "OpenToonz"

This is useful to me because 1. Flash is not free, so I never got it in the lifespan, and 2. I can't get it anymore because the lifespan is over.

What about opentoonz or krita or whatever?

flipaclip? toonator? anybody?

The thing is, I can’t find Pivot Animator on google! I own a laptop and I don’t know if it has to be on a certain device? And I really, really want to learn how to animate!!!

Remember when Animate was called "Flash"? Yeah, me neither.

YES FINALLY OH MY GOODNESS YES PIVOT IS WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR

Nothing listed can fit what is needed... All of the ones that I tried either are way too hard to learn, are too simple, are too complex, don't have sound abilities, or don't support long animations.

3:23 hold ctrl and pull the red dots to stretch them

WHERE IS FLIPACLIP ?! O.O

Flipaclip and Sticknodes 🔛🔝

Why is stick nodes only for mobile, like the best stick figure animation, on the worst thing to animate on WTF

Flip a clip?

the app said i couldn't sign in because i was in an unavailable location i live in Hong Kong

Thank you for this video! Now I am using Vectorian Giotto and its great! I can do basic animations and I even tried to make a little AVA-Short xD

I like how he says, *legally* right after explaining that adobe cost money

Yeah ... don t use programms illegaly, just crack them for free

btw pivot now can make stick figures bend and stretch so its a lot better

when i go into the vectorian giotto link it doesnt work, it says page not found

as opposed to Adobe Flash which _does_ cost money to use ... _legally_

thanks, it actually let me through so i could download it.
