Assembly and coding in Animate

In this exercise, we're going to create a preloader and if it's winter in Ontario, …it's playtime, but you know, winter has snow and we would like to make a …preloader that uses this image, but snow falls. …And the way you're going to do that is to create an animated gif now what we're …going to do here is have a rather interesting workflow. …We're going to move from After Effects CS6 to Photoshop CS6 and back to Animate. …So let's get started. Now if you have After Effects CS6, I want …you to open up the winter.aep file located in your exercise folder.…

And when it opens, you'll see there's that little path animation. …Now, to create the snow is really quite simple if you've never done this before. …What you do is you just select the composition window, that's this right …here. And you're going to add a New, Solid. …And don't worry about the name, don't worry about the size, just make sure it's …the comp size. Click OK and we've got this black solid …and it hides the image. No big deal. …
