Can You Animate in Adobe Fresco?

Yes, you can animate in Adobe Fresco using two methods: frame-by-frame animation and motion paths.

Frame-by-frame animation involves creating individual frames of artwork and then playing them back in sequence to create the illusion of motion. This method is ideal for creating detailed animations with a lot of movement.

Motion paths involve drawing a path that an object will follow. The object will then follow the path automatically, creating a seamless animation. This method is ideal for creating simple animations or animations with a limited amount of movement.
