Draw
You can make a freehand sketch or break your design into basic shapes such as rectangles and ellipses to combine and arrange.
Adjust color and weight
Adjust the stroke and fill settings of all your shapes to suit your design. Change colors and add depth and character with gradients, and make your lines thinner and fatter as you choose.
Save

Putting ideas in motion.
Everything you need to make animated vector drawings. Create GIFs, clips, or animated shorts.
Drawing animation is faster and easier with the powerful features of Animate.
Start with your canvas
For a simple animation, begin by sketching or importing a backdrop. You can search on Adobe Stock if you don’t already have one.
Add a graphic
Import a vector graphic drawing to animate on the canvas. Vector graphics are suited to animation because they can be tweaked, pushed, and pulled fluidly.
Set up your timeline
You need many frames per second for a fluid animation. A repeating clip may be only 10 or 20 frames, but a short film can be thousands.
Animate
With powerful tools, you can create keyframes and automate the movements between them for a quick project. Export your completed animation to a variety of file formats, including GIF, MOV, SWF, and AVI.
Layer depth
Create a more spacious feeling by assigning different depths to layers. As the camera moves, a natural perspective effect is created.
Asset sculpting
Create new poses by just modifying the mesh using handles. Reduce the effort of redrawing assets on each frame. Use the asset warp tool to create frame-by-frame animation on complex shapes or bitmaps.
Layer parenting
Create animations faster by using parent-child hierarchy for assets on multiple layers. Control movement of individual parts of a character with ease.
Auto Lip-Sync
Adobe Sensei technology makes it possible to create Lip-Sync for an animated character automatically. Save multiple hours of effort on matching mouth pieces to sound inflections.
