Summary
Remember, we require none of the previously covered apps to animate cartoons with Character Animator. They can enhance your production and with Animate and After Effects being available on Creative Cloud, it doesn’t hurt to have some extra knowledge. Just remember the following:
- Animate is great for traditional animation, such as frame-by-frame
- After Effects allows us to add effects and polish to our productions
- You can use the previously covered apps with Character Animator, or vice versa
- Other applications have their own strengths and may be useful if the Adobe apps aren’t a good fit
In the next chapter, we are going to begin our Character Animator production by preparing a PSD-based character for rigging!
