• How did this week go for you?

It went a lot better than I honestly expected, despite the rough adjustments. I managed to create a decent amount, which ended up being a tiny bit more than I really thought I could.

• Do you have access to Adobe Creative Cloud?

Yes, I have access to generally all the same materials as in lab for what I’m mainly interested in.

• What did you work on this week?

I worked on days 1-3 of the Adobe Animate lessons. Day 2’s lessons were split into two days because of how much time it took.

Day 3

• What problems did you have?

My main issue was adjusting to Adobe Animate updates, as exporting animations as MP4s is completely different and unnecessarily complicated now. I was able to find a way to do it on Day 1, however, by exporting it as a H.264 video into Adobe Media Encoder where I would drag the encoded file into Google Drive. Also, personally, I know the accounts are linked to DACC’s school system or something (I think?), but I did feel uncomfortable on the Teams app because of my legal name. I know it’s not something that can exactly change, but, aside from that, the rest of the week worked out really well.

• What will you work on next week?

I will mostly aim to finish Adobe Animate lessons (days 4-7), and outside of that I’m probably going to start working on some animation passion projects if I have extra time on my hands.
