Hi all,
I've read many posts on this website, and took a look at the presentations and "tutorials" posted to get started with GSAP.
For my background: I never used Flash and I'm going to be using Animate CC for the first time. I know a little bit of JS and I have a design background so I'm comfortable in the Adobe CS.
I have watched video tutorials on animating in Animate CC and I thought well why GSAP? Then I watched separate videos and the slideshow on GSAP here on greensock.com and said "ah, so why Animate CC?" Then I read a forum post on here that explained the benefits. I appreciated that.
However, now that I want to give it a genuine trial run, I have no idea where to start. In the footer of greensock.com there's a HTML/5 GSAP and a Flash GSAP to get started. I need to learn how to harness GSAP in Animate CC for a job, and I assume the Flash GSAP tutorial is not applicable. And the HTML5/JS tutorials are great but I don't know how to apply it to Animate CC.
Then there's the tutorials in the Learning Center by Cory Hudson that has a update that the template files are outdated with notes that I kind of get, but since I don't have hands on experience with Animate CC I don't fully comprehend. As for the code in the actual article, I can read that fairly well, but I don't really know how to apply it to starting my own banner ad.
After searching the Lynda.com and YouTube I couldn't find something that really seemed like the right entrypoint for a beginner. That leaves me to ask: Is there anywhere that has a simple Get Started With GSAP With Adobe Animate CC? Is Animate just a DAM to code in for GSAP users, or is the Animate CC timeline being utilized? I really do apologize if I've somehow missed things, I have spent a great deal of time reading the white papers written over Adobe and learning resources here on the site.
I suppose, as a beginner in HTML 5 ads I have no idea how to put this information together. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
