Looking for advice, I am a Graphic Designer with no formal training in animation. I recieved a job I just can't pass up.
It is a great opportunity for me to learn animation. I need to create a cartoon mascot that will be in an environment, that will also be animated.
It will be animated for presentation purposes, on-site seminars, youtube, and webinars. Will also be uploaded to a flash to hand out.
Would also love to do text/information effects, as well as to animate on the web.
I am trying to chose an Adobe product that will help me acheive this, did some research and was interested, just not sure which product to use.
I like what I see so far on Ae, but when I called Adobe they said Flash & Premeire Pro.
I am currently learning web design, it would be better for me to learn one program to acheive animated presentation with creative effects, for videos, and web.
I have heard all different things about flash on the web,
and I truly do not need to get in a tangle mess of changing and importing files for the animation to be on the web.
Is Ae the right product for me to learn? or is Flash & Premiere Pro?
I have CS6 Master collection. I would like to achevive presentation and 2D animated Cartoon with same program,
across all platforms for the web would be nice too.
I need to make a decision because I have to educate myself to acheive a creative presentation.
Any suggestions on Which program to start out with would also be great!
Seminar presentation, youtube videos, email blasts, & webinar, one program to learn...is it possible??
Your Help on this matter is SO appreciated!
