Flash 8 Macromedia Review

Today I am going to review macromedia flash 8 which is a software which allows users to create flash animations which can be added to websites to make them look nice. This program isn't free but you can get a 30 day trial to test it out which I find hard actually do anything in this amount of time because by the time the trials over your just getting used to using the program. Flash 8 is an amazing programs thats allows you to draw in frames which then combine all together to make up your animations. This program has many tools that help users create the type of animation they want to make for instance the text tool makes it easy for a website designer to create professional banners without having to use the brush tool with a mouse. Flash had the option for users to use their tablets on this program to easier draw what they need without the hassle of using a uncontrollable mouse. The good thing about this program is there are lots of tutorials out there so learning how to use this software is a snap if you can invest some time in reading and following tutorials.

Some of it's more handy features are it's filter tools which allows you to take a movie clip you created and add some blur or shadow effects which makes it convenient instead of having to redraw these effects in each frame or having to use a third party software. Flash 8 is a excellent choice to try if you want to get a feel at how it is to animate. The tools in this program make it extremely easy for anyone to create a great product easier it just depends on how much effort you put into it. This software is great for beginners looking for a solution to bringing their drawings to life.

Tweening is also included in this program which allows the program to make up the in between frames in an animation saving lots of time. For example i could draw a ball on the left side of the screen on the first frame and go to the tenth frame and draw a ball on the right side of the screen and add a tween and the animation would show a ball moving from left to right with me barely lifting a finger. Flash 8 has plenty of features which makes me recommend this program to anyone who loves to draw or people looking to spice up their website.
