In this episode, we officially kick off your animation training in Adobe Animate.
You’ll learn how to set up your canvas, timeline, frame rate, and workspace so you’re not lost when it’s time to actually animate.
It’s all about setting up once, and animating faster forever.
This lesson is foundational—but if you skip it, you’re basically building on sand.
🧠In this lesson, I’ll show you:
- How to create a new document in Adobe Animate
- My exact canvas size + frame rate settings for 2D animation
- Why your timeline setup matters (especially for tweening)
- The most efficient workspace layout for beginners
- Pro tips to avoid messy layers and disorganized files later
- This is where it starts feeling real. This is where animating begins.
