I just want to know, because I’ve done a lot of searching and people keep mentioning Adobe After Effects, Adobe Animate, etc, are those the only two Adobe programs that work? (Would Adobe Illustrator work? I took a course on it, but I’m not sure if it’s suitable for this too.) Also, what other programs are good? They don’t necessarily have to be from Adobe (keep in mind that for animation or art, anything that gets the job done works for me, though I’m especially interested in art).
