This tutorial will show you how to package an Adobe Animate CC project into an OAM file. The OAM file can then be imported into Captivate. After this is done, the tutorial will step back to Animate to make the background transparent. Once the transparent background is in place, the Animate project file is repackaged and imported into the Captivate file.
if I create an interaction in animate cc and export it, in captivate does the interaction continue or is it only created as a video?
Good question. The short answer is yes all the interaction you created will come over with the OAM. You do have to make sure you are working with a HTML5 project and not an ActionScript project.
Fantastic tutorial Phil.
Thanks Paul.
One of the reasons I still prefer Edge Animate over the more complex UI of Animate CC is that it is a breeze to create a quick animation with a transparent background. No need for a movie to explain in Edge Animate, which proves it was a much more suited tool for developers needing occasional animations. Why Adobe killed the Edge family remains a mystery to me, but not the first time that very functional easy applications were killed in favor of the big monster applications. Sorry for this rant.
I hear what you’re saying Lieve. No question that Adobe Animate CC has a more complex UI. However, I will say it also provides you with much more capability in the way of animation and interaction. It’s the only tool I know where you can develop SWF and HTML5 as well as desktop apps (EXE for Windows and APP for Mac). You can also publish the files to iOS (Apple) and APK (Android) and with a few extra steps BAR (Blackberry).
Thanks for your comment Lieve.
I’m aware of all that, Phil, I do use Animate myself. But still regret the disappearance of Edge Animate which was much more suited for CP developers needing HTML animations. Animate CC is the ultimate tool for very complicated animations and games, but not always needed by those developers.
