I am a designer that started my career in the year 2000... and I was part of that era with Flash. And while there's good reasons for it's demise... that also left a big hole in Web Design in my opinion. A hole that remained... until now. I recently discovered Rive, and I really love it so far! Still learning the ropes, but I love what I'm experiencing so far. Good interview!
I've been studying and using rive for a couple of months now. I can't remember the last time I felt so excited for a new tool and the possibilities it unleashes. I'm BULLISH too.
Good evening. At least for me. I was just watching your discussion and it brought up so many memories from the past. I am 69 and the FLASH application you are talking about was very state of the art around year 2000. I was not a genious in computing at the time but I was able to create pretty fancy websites with active push buttons that would interact with the user. FLASH was able to allow more than basic programming with cool graphics and moving animations. Now, somewhere around 25 years later, you come over with this RIVE application that seems to be working similar to FLASH. This is great news. Despite my age, I will definitely go take a ride of that new RIVE application. I might still have some brain juice to create a web page or something like this. Thanks again for the great talk you gave us.
This tool is so awesome I’m hooked. I’ve already embedded interactive graphics on a website something I never harmed doing last month. Very easy to learn. Game changer.
I hired these guys back in the day to come up with the Silverlight demos for our release .. they constantly amazed me at how technically creative they were and kept pushing us beyond where we thought we could go .. to see them achieve greatness with rive makes me so happy .. especially when we lost so much of that iterative design feel since the plugins died .. we desperately need this reboot Fun fact : guido and Luigi were the names used in Pixar cars .. because of these two 🤪
chris houston. we need it badly , I still use it . since the age of 17 so yup very much an old flash dude. i miss the site of the day by macromedia . most animations that can be done with AS3 and flash cannot be done with modern technology. at least this easily.
Rive is amazing, it’s a real leader and innovator in UI interaction design. I have to say though, Rive’s tutorials are tragic. I don’t know what the direction is but it needs to be scrapped and started over. Why, whyyyyy are their uploads some really interesting Rive designs just 90 minute screen recording from Google meet sessions or a livestream. Rive needs to put the time into editing some solid explainer videos that any casual user can quickly watch and understand, like Figma or Webflow’s videos.
I used to be a motion designer. Recently picked up the tools again but don’t have a PC anymore. I’m using an IPad Pro and doing stop motion via Procreate Dreams. I’m doing a bunch of characters for a show. They’re fighters. Anyways, I made an idle animation of 8 frames and thought there has to be something out there in terms of runtime and then I saw Rive on Instagram. I’m here now, cos I’m super interested creating fighting characters using the state machine. I need in-depth tutorials!!!!
27:53 Thinking about how Flash became a detriment: Security is extremely important for Rive’s success.

Wow! Have been fiddling with Rive but have not gotten a proper project for it really. Working with some explainer videos recently learning character animation this is a golden tool to make things come alive and also been missing Flash a lot since I took courses in Flash at university way back.
Thanks for yet another great in-depth article about a ground-breaking tool. Can you make a similar video about Spline as well? Pretty please, with sugar on top.
Rive is a very useful tool but the pricing 38 a mouth is a bit much,and 288 a year way over priced.I think rive has enough users to offer lower prices.
I think that'd be a big ask, the tool is pretty deep so the UI would need a massive overhaul to be usable w/ touch. But I wonder if it would work on an iPad using a mouse?
@@joeykorenman yes I understand but somebody will do it sooner or later. Because tablets or iPads have become such a central part of everyone’s life don’t you think so. Even animations will be a big part in the very near future I believe. So why not grab the opportunity :)
It’s not a standalone app for iPad…..it still need internet to operate and it’s not touch based really. But I’d love to have it as a standalone with touch support on the iPad.

My last best decision to start learn smth useful

So have you been motion designer for 50 years? that is AMAZING

Old flash guy here. Fantastic work to bring this tool to life. Looking forward to diving in

Another vote for a more in-depth video about Spline. Rive & Spline are two programs I'm going to take a deep dive into in 2024.
Spline is AWESOME! Gonna dive into that more, too. EJ has been messing with it.
Please make it a standalone app for the iPad without needing the internet to jumpstart it. Thanks 🙏
Great interview! Do you have plans for a Rive course?
I miss Flash and AS3.....................the best moment of my career
If you have no AE experience but want to get into Rive. Where should I start?
1:13:28 no universal hook for blurs in OS and platforms 1:14:34 inner and outer stroke is another future feature without a universal.
Mind elaborating more?
I would say, the resurrection of Flash
I think once they add some scripting capabilities, it'll be the new Flash.
Came for a greater understanding of Rive. Stayed for The Downbeat representation.
Any conversations or potential with Apple?
Cavalry was also same i guess
2Advanced a name I haven't heard in a while...
They were so ahead of their time.
That was a crayyyyyyzeeee site!

Rive = 🍷
Absolutely.
Rive also as an iPad app??.
I think that'd be a big ask, the tool is pretty deep so the UI would need a massive overhaul to be usable w/ touch. But I wonder if it would work on an iPad using a mouse?

it is usable but not the best way to use it id say i sometimes connect my wireless keyboard and mouse and use it on ipad, not great with touch though
It’s not a standalone app for iPad…..it still need internet to operate and it’s not touch based really. But I’d love to have it as a standalone with touch support on the iPad.
Spline is another program that does the same thing very similar to Rive.
Way too expensive for Africans
