Adobe Animate

Adobe Animate (previously well known as Adobe Flash) is an animation program originally developed by FutureWave Software (as an extension of their SmartSketch product—earlier versions of Flash include support for SmartSketch's file formats), later bought by Macromedia, which was then finally bought by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Inc. Adobe].

Sprite animation support
Flash's movie clip/graphic symbol system happens to be well-suited for sprite animation, more or less perfectly encapsulating the concept of a sub-animation made up of arbitrarily complex images that can be instantiated multiple times as necessary throughout the duration of the animation. Then, if a change needs to be made to that sub-animation, the system will automatically propagate the changes to all instances, cutting down on a lot of manual labor.
