NFT: Animation/Video creator

BillKo : 8/13/2020 4:18 pm
As designers all know, FLASH is basically going away at the end of the year, as browsers will not support it. And HTML5/CSS has been the way to go for years now.

I've been looking for a product to create animation/videos/etc. using both pictures/text/etc. that can be used on both Twitter, and websites. I found Animoto which sounds very promising, but you pay a monthly price for it ($8). Looks like Animoto saves to MP4. Haven't done the free trial yet.

Also been tinkering with Google Web Designer (free) but it seems somewhat limited....so far anyway.

Was wondering what BBI's designers have been using over the last several years to create such.

I had been using SWiSH which was soley Flash based. The company is now defunct but the product still works, but with FLASH going away I'm looking to get w/ the times lol

Thanks in advance!
I use Movavi

It's a rather simple tool for creating video + audio content. It's a single purchase but they do come out with upgrades often and those are not free.
If you're looking for a tool which allows you to add effects, text, transitions, banners etc along with separate Audio & Video tracks, this is a good option imho.

It saves to .MP4, AVI, MOV and a bunch of other formats with options for different codecs.
The last few animations I've made were in Adobe

Adobe Animate, After Effects and Photoshop, depending on need.
