No, Flash is dying, on it's way out. I myself have had it disabled for a long time on my system, as have many others. Now Adobe has decided it's finally time to end the suffering; Flash is riddled with problems, time to take it out into the yard and do the most humane thing and kill it dead. (link)

 

Getting into Adobe Flash at this moment seems like a wasted effort, maybe look at the possibilities HTML5 offers. You can do some Googling yourself, but maybe this is a good site to start: https://www.templatemonster.com/blog/html5-animation-tools/

 

Not sure about animations on top op a video, but I think you could have 2 layers, 1 with the video and another with your animations? Or just render that video with the animations on your PC and simply upload the merged video product?

Does you mum know you're here?

It's never been free as far as I can recall and still isn't, so I guess the answer is no, despite it being good for animation imo.

And yes, you can easily animate over a video.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Free? Hahaha..

But Animate was kinda instable as far as I remember, so people didn't massively switch to it.

 

But Harmony Toonboom and OpenToonz are quite good solutions too, former paid and latter free.

 

EDIT: After Effects types of animation might be something you are more looking for.

Adobe flash for animation?  Stop living in the 20th century and join then 21st.

 

You can put animations above video using tools like After Effects or other motion graphics and compositing software.

I'd stay away from flash. I have never used it in the last 5 years and it was horrific already back then.
