This is very impressive. As someone who has no idea what I'm doing, I was able to make an animation of a circle moving and growing from left to right in 30 seconds without reading the manual or tutorials. This is how user interfaces should be built!

Awesome, that's exactly what we'd hope to hear :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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!

I'm not sure what the original project url was. When i clicked "embed", it said I had to clone the project, which I did.

It then redirected me to http://editor.animatron.com/#p=b5da1953a67b29f8d0e00c0c which loaded the identical project (this project seems to no longer exist).

I clicked "embed" again and it showed me the url http://player.animatron.com/go?ea0713ae8d4c50d3a8589aa392c39...

I can see the project in my projects page, but I can't figure out how to edit it from there.

I really like the interface and the timeline. I also like the learning tooltips. I think that we can learn a lot from your UI design.

BTW I wonder if it is worthwhile to try and hook up an interconnect between this and our 3D modeler/animator/renderer: http://clara.io

to edit the project from the projects page you need to click small edit icon just below the project. yeah, I know it's not easy to notice, working on that.

I see a lot of 2D/3D/CAD editors on the web - but one simple thing puzzles my mind - how multiple monitors are supported? Or docking (windows in windows, with maximizing)?

we do not support multiple monitors, but animatron supports collaborative editing which means you can open the same project in several browser windows on 2-3 monitors and edit them at the same time, i.e. have different parts of the project open etc.

and of course you can send a link to your friend and you can both edit the same project and see each other changes.
