  Your browser is too old or not yet supported!

And a link to Chrome frame, a retired Google product.

Please use feature detection instead of sniffing the browser agent. My browser (IE11) is perfectly capable and supports HTML5 APIs fine (e.g. Canvas 2D).

This looks like a really full-featured and powerful animation tool! The tutorial movie was very impressive.

The gallery[0] has some good looking examples, but they all run very slowly (1fps) in both chrome/firefox on my MBP. Not sure why performance is so poor on my machine.

One thing I couldn't figure out from the site is what their revenue model/pricing plan is. I saw that guest accounts are active for 15 days, but what are the limitations after I sign in?

Also, I tried making a basic animation. When I visited the project's embed link, I just get "snapshot failed to load"!

Can you post the URL of your project in the editor? We'll look at it asap!

That's really impressing, very easy and intuitive to use!

Do you have to host in the cloud or can you down load this.

Is there a limit to how long the animations can be

nice, yet too slow for production use right now in my opinion. But it has a great potential.

hey, thanks! we have some performance issues in firefox and safari, but there should not be any problems in chrome.
