new frontiers in motion and interactivity
DESCRIPTION
With Adobe CS6 and the Creative Cloud, there are many new possibilities to consider when it comes to motion and interactive tools! Flash Professional CS6 allows a number of new publish targets; including sprite sheets, the updated Flash Player and AIR runtimes, and even HTML5. We'll then have a look at how the Creative Cloud works for users in consideration of files, products, and services &closing with a detailed overview of a new product that is only available through cloud subscription: Adobe Edge!TRANSCRIPT
