Adobe Creative Cloud
We will be using Adobe Creative Cloud, specifically Adobe Animate and Adobe After Effects.
It appears that Adobe has extended the licenses through October 15th. Here’s a pdf that explains how to set up your account. It’s on Blackboard as well.
We may be trying to log into computers on campus to access the software if you do not have a computer or if the subscriptions end. More details on this to come, as IT hasn’t worked them all out yet.
