Adobe powers animation.

Take any idea and make it move.

Animate characters in real time with Adobe Character Animator. Use Adobe Animate to create vector animations. Create composites, motion graphics and visual effects with Adobe After Effects. And move seamlessly between them and other Adobe apps, including Photoshop and Illustrator. Whether you’re using Windows or macOS, the right drawing tools and animation software awaits.

Animate in real time. Really.

Using your webcam and microphone along with motion capture technology, Character Animator matches your movements and expressions — from lip-syncing to tracking eyes — to animate characters so fast, you can even stream live. And with the Characteriser feature, you can quickly turn any piece of art into an animation.
