Taking the Quick Start Lesson
With the Quick Start lesson, you can quickly create your first animation in Edge Animate. It’s quick and easy, but it gives you simple way to see how an animation works. You’ll create a rectangle on the Stage and then use the Pin button and the Playhead in the Timeline to make the shape move across the screen. After you create the animation, you’ll play it back on the Stage and in the Timeline to see how it works.
