the course is nice BUT they advance to quick and that makes it hard to digest what happened in the last class but if i were to rate it I would give it 4.5stars

By Angel Abernathy on 12/5/2025

Very clear, very simple. If I was new, completely to animation this would be excellent. I have some experience with the sketchbook proversion, but she did a great job. She's a great teacher, great young lady. It's good but , the detail on the tools that make certain actions happen for examplewould be a little bit , just the touch. The tools have a key, because some people are learning that no, nothing about the tools at all.So more focus on the tools like close ups on the tool. Not clicking so fast around the tools because you are not teaching people that know the tools that need a touch up , you're teaching people that are brand new to adobe animation.

I'm totally loving her teaching style! She breaks it down in a way that's easy peasy, lemon squeezy! And can we talk about her rhythm? She's got a smooth, slow jam going on that makes learning feel like a relaxing Sunday stroll!

By Jose E. Gonzalez-Chavez on 2/11/2025

teaches the principles of animation which helps re-learn the techniques and apply them as well. I can't wait to do character design and and all sorts of character animations.

By Sabine Pauli on 3/20/2024

Many thanks for this very comprehensive course and the very detailed instructions, which gave me a good insight in animating wie Adobe Animate with the different technics. Also the animation principles were explained in a very understandable way with easy to get explanations. Thank you for this as well!! Some information I would have liked to have in addition: Exporting the file in mp4.format, importing files like psd.files and how to prepare them maybe in advance by setting up extra layers for the objects to be moved and how this would work in adobe animate then.

By Bryan Merritt on 5/29/2023

seems like they are not export with the software. good at explaining what they are doing just not efficient with it.

By Musleh Mohammed on 4/13/2023

This course introduces you to the essentials of the software and does not cover deep topics. It was structured in a practical way or moreover, like an on-job training. After acquainting the basic knowledge, you will be taken on a journey of frame by frame animation, which seemed more like a shadowing session where you are seated next to a professional animator and watch her work and learn a thing or two from her. The trainer is very cute and enthusiastic about what she's teaching, but it is very evident that she is recalling the information from some training that she's given some long time ago. Overall, this course is the best course of it's type that I have come across. Respect to the trainer and Skillademia

I think the instructor did a fine job. I learned much and would take another course taught by her. Her use of the film she produced to illustrate and clarify points was brilliant. The course itself needs a lot of editing. Aside from dead air as the instructor is figuring some things out, mistakes, and do-overs, there are a few times when the instructor is leaving messages for the editor to cut certain things out.

By Josh McAdams on 11/10/2022

I was informative to see a creator at work, but calling this course "beginner to expert" is a bit overselling. The instructor has long periods where they don't explain what they are doing. There are even some occurrences where the instructor gets stuck, cuts the video, and then comes back with the animation working, but doesn't tell how they worked around it. This is more of "a look over the shoulder of an animator". There isn't a lot of focus on Adobe Animate as a tool.

By Keith Patankar on 9/6/2021

I learned a lot about animation. I would have liked to see more technical details discussed. And to go though all the tools and menus in Animate. Some part were a little long and parts could have been edited out of the course. Overall it is a good start to learning the software and the principles of animation.
