Renaissance.
Although that casually, but I am sure the word means something unique to each one of you. For those who think the term sounds alien, before you pop-open Google, Renaissance means rebirth or reincarnation. Commonly, it refers to the cultural movement that began (roughly during 14th century) in Italy and spread right across Europe. Renaissance was that rare phenomenon, which laid a foundation for revolution, restructuring, progress, and ultimately, prosperity.
Adobe Flash Professional CC, a part of the Adobe Creative Cloud offering, has been completely re-engineered, quite literally from ground-zero. Effectively, it’s the true renaissance of your very own Flash Pro. It’s been in the making for a few years now, and we are extremely pleased and proud to present it along with other stunning applications of Creative Cloud.
That said, a pertinent question, what is Adobe Flash Professional CC all about, really? Well, here’s a dip-stick view of it.
The Architecture, MAC-friendliness, and the Boost (a la NOS!)
Flash Pro CC is a comprehensively refactored, modular, 64-bit application. During the course of this release, the entire code-base was refreshed to turn Flash Pro in to a native cocoa application.
This refactoring brings in dramatic changes to how Flash Pro performs. It now delivers unprecedented speed and stability. Large files are not only easily manageable, but can also be published ever so quickly. You will also observe that the timeline is highly-responsive, as you begin to work with Flash Pro CC.
We’re HD, and quite gloriously so
Ever considered exporting all the rich content you create to a full HD output? Well, you can more than just consider, now. Flash Pro CC allows you to export all content, from nested timelines to script-driven animations, to an HD output seamlessly. All this, with zero loss of frames!
HTML5, from within
The Toolkit for CreateJS is now fully integrated with Flash Pro, and is enhanced to support publishing of buttons, motion curves, and hit-areas to HTML5. Your content can now be completely seamlessly converted to HTML5 (thanks to umpteen bug fixes on Toolkit for CreateJS), and yet, preserve the richness and interactivity.
It’s black or white
Choose to work with dark or light user-interface themes with Flash Pro CC. The streamlined user-interface, with intuitive dialogs and panels, centers your focus fully on the stage and content.
Rich, crisp, and a lot of detail with Hi-DPI
The Flash Professional user-interface supports Hi-DPI displays, including high resolution retina display available with MacBook Pro. This dramatically improves visual fidelity and screen resolution adding a lot more detail to how Flash Pro is displayed.
Work with multiple devices
Imagine being able to work with multiple devices of varying screen sizes, configurations, and capabilities – simultaneously. Flash Pro CC enables seamless publishing of AIR applications to iOS devices connected via USB.
Unlimited, unending, and infinite
With unlimited pasteboard/work-area you can manage infinitely large backgrounds and off-stage. While working with unlimited work-area, you can also shift your focus back to the stage using the Center-to-stage option.
Efficient beyond measure
With several key enhancements made to timeline and drawing tools, Flash Pro CC brings in a high degree of workflow efficiency, particularly for designers and animators.
- Distribute objects on Stage to individual keyframes each with the click of a button
- Swap multiple symbol instances or bitmaps with any other symbol or bitmap preserved in the library or created on Stage
- Set properties to multiple layers simultaneously
- Mark multiple layers as guides or masks
- Work in full screen mode without panels or toolbars to distract you
- Proportionally expand or contract timeline ranges
- Move Timeline ranges across the timeline with the length intact
- Preview colors live when using drawing tools and color picker
- Use the time-saving in-line controls for graphic filters
Comment, uncomment, comment
Take full advantage of intelligent code commenting along with the completely simplified ActionScript Editor interface.
Where ever you go, your settings follow you
You can now sync preference (s) settings to Creative Cloud and download across two machines when working with Flash Pro. This allows you to apply all your preferences on two different machines at one-go! (for example, computers at work and home.)
