For context, although Flash Player died a long time ago, the editor lived on as an "offline" 2D animation tool where the end result is rendered out to video. Lots of kids shows are still made with it, and at least some anime studios use it (e.g. Science SARU).

It is a bit vague, but I think that this means that you aren't going to be able to use Animate altogether after 01/03/2027.

> Access to your Animate files and project data will end on the date that support ends. To ensure a smooth transition, we encourage you to export your Animate FLA and XFL files to other formats such as SWF, SVG, and MP4 before this date.

The fact with Software-as-a-Scam subscription stuff discontinued software doesn’t just mean "it'll probably bitrot away over time" (probably a bit more aggressively with MacOS than Windows) to "it'll just be gone" is kinda mad. See also Microsoft Publisher. These are supposedly professional tools, surely they can still make it available with a "YMMV" disclaimer so they don't leave their own customers (and their work) in the lurch.

To add insult to injury, the obvious path is for studios to switch from Adobe to ToonBoom... which already copied the Adobe playbook by going subscription-only last year.

From their FAQ:

> Starting March 1, 2026, the app will no longer be available for purchase.

>> I have already downloaded Animate. Will the app still work? > Yes. Animate will continue to work.

I wish they were more explicit in describing exactly for how long - being subscription-based, it's not really something you purchase and own to run for eternity regardless of Adobe. So, will new CC subscriptions have access to Animate? Will the Animate app even run after March 2027?

My first journey into flash was creating a graphic of a spinning smiley face with a GSW for the game pimp-wars. I didn't know anything about it. But I knew I wanted to make that graphic for my "gang".
