 VICTREE MEDIA 4

SUMMARY:

     Macromedia Flash is a versatile software that offers various resolutions for character animations, social media animations, profile photos, and YouTube. It provides presets for various screen resolutions, including low, medium, high, and very high. For educational videos, it has a standard video resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. For internet content, it offers presets for low, medium, high, and very high resolutions. The platform also offers advanced options like ActionScript 3.0, HTML 5 Canvas, Air for Desktop, Air for IOS, and Air for Android. Users can create their own platform and set it as their default platform. Macromedia Flash also provides beta platforms for VR Panorama, VR 360, WebGL GLTF standard, and WebGL GLTF Extended. A scene, or 'Stage', is a white sheet representing different students performing a different or the same act on another stage.

     If you want to know in detail about all the presets provided in Macromedia Flash/Adobe Animate, read it down below.

Presets:

     First, you have character animation section, where you have FHD (1920 x 1080 Pixels), HD (1280 x 720 Pixels), 4K [K means Kilo and Kilo is a thousand (3840 x 2160 Pixels)], and standard (640 x 480 Pixels).

     For making Social Media animation: like for Facebook, Twitter or Tiktok, you have Small, Large and Landscape view for Facebook. You also have 600 x 600 Pixels Squared platform and Vertical platform for Facebook. You have profile photo size, which is a Square 400 x 400 Pixels, and Banner (Header) photo of 1500 x 1500 Pixels for Twitter, The last four: 4K, FHD, HD and standard are for our YouTube, they are same as I explained previously in character animation section.

     If you did not know, Macromedia Flash (Adobe Animate) is also used to create games. The best example are those online games, which asked for Adobe Flash player before accessing, and those games were all designed using this software. In fact, this is how my origin of YouTube animator began. So in game section of this mumbo jumbo, you have Low (640 x 480 Pixels), Medium (800 x 600 Pixels), High (960 x 640 Pixels) and very high (1024 x 768). It has presets for IPhone 1 to IPhone 5, IPad 1 to 3, Android with different aspect ratios: 5:3 (1280 x 768 Pixels), 3:2 (960 x 640 Pixels) and 4:3 (1024 x 768). You will might be asking, "But Takzi, what if I have IPhone 7 & above, or what if I have Android phone like Pixel or Oneplus 7, then I can''t select the preset? What shall I do" That is easy: go to the internet, check the aspect ratio and the screen resolution of your smartphone and manually type it on the left.

     For educational videos, you have same platform as the game section, only the addition is standard video, which is HD (1280 x 720 Pixels), for the reason is that the target audience for educational media are little kids and so they do not care unless it is not blurry, it makes sense and they can hear/read it properly, and so, 720p is okay for you, but if you want to make it in 1920 x 1080 FHD Pixels, you can again set it manually.

     For making advertisements, you have Square (250 x 250 Pixels), small Square (200 x 200 Pixels), Banner on the internet (468 x 60 Pixels), Leaderboard (728 x 90 Pixels), Inline Rectangle (300 x 250 Pixels), large Rectangle (336 x 280 Pixels), Skyscrapper (120 x 600 Pixels), Wide Skyscrapper (160 x 600 Pixels), Large Leaderboard (970 x 90), half page ad (300 x 600 Pixels), Smartphone Static Banner, S_Illustration Preset Phone, Feature Phone Banner small, Feature Phone Banner medium, Feature Phone Banner large, smartphone Rich Interstitial, Smartphone Rich Banner expandable and smartphone Rich Wide Banner Expandable.

     For the internet content, you have low (640 x 480 Pixels), Medium (800 x 600 Pixels), High (960 x 640 Pixels) and Very High (1024 x 768 Pixels). You also have presets for IPhone 1 to 5, IPad 1 to 4, and Android with different aspect ratio.

     Lastly, in advance options, you have Actionscript 3.0, HTML 5 Canvas, Air for Desktop, Air for IOS and Air for Android. With the programming, Actionscript does not work in conjunction with Apple's operating system, while HTML 5 Canvas does. However, you are not programmers instead you are animators, so you do not need to worry about programming and for animation, Actionscript is the best. You have different forms of Actionscrpt: Actionscript 3.0 Class, Actionscript 3.0 interface, Actionscript file and JSFL Script File also known as Flash Javascript. You also have beta platforms for VR Panorama, VR 360, WebGL GLTF standard and WebGL GLTF Extended.

     You can create your own platform and set that as your default platform. Do not forget to select and then, press on create.

 

     You have a scene under which you have a white sheet that is called a 'Stage' in Macromedia Flash/Adobe Animate. Imagine the scene written on top like different students performing a different or a same act on another stage. Imagine you are not creating an animation, rather you are making your participants' perform. Everything that has to be done on the stage is a scene. while you cannot see what is happening behind the curtain, similarly anything outside this stage will not be seen in the final project or exported movie file. Pressing Ctrl + +, you can zoom in, while pressing Ctrl + - will zoom out. Pressing Ctrl + 0 is for bringing stage to the center of your view, while pressing Ctrl + 1 is for making it to 100%.

     Main Bar in any animation software is always at the extreme top-left. You have your tools, which we will go through one by one is on the is on the left of the stage. Previously, Adobe Animate was very complicated. After 2014, when it became Adobe Animate, it was redesign and modified to make the interface easy. Our property panel is on the right of the stage. You have pre-made assets that we are free to use. You have color, alignment and library if we create an object.

     Library is useful for bringing anything or reusing a drawing or an image. Down you have the most important thing, which is the timeline, and you can literally do everything with this software. You can work on different layers: you can add a layer, delete a layer to organize more, create folders, lock, hide layers, show outline only, highlight layer, parenting layer, layer depth, camera and viewing active layer option. Do not worry, we will go through all of these options one by one, but but for now, I am just showing the feel and look of the interface.
