Woah. These run almost as fast as Macromedia used to run on a Pentium 1! Maybe just 20 more years and browsers will finally catch up to 1995 technology. In all seriousness, it really is too slow - the landing page animations play in about 2fps and the editor itself needs half a second to light up a button when I hover it. I'm running firefox 32.0.1 on Linux with integrated intel video, if it matters. Sadly your time…

unfortunately firefox is really slow these days. try it in chrome or safari, it's night and day difference in speed

Looks great on Chrome.

The product looks good but the signup has some issues.

1) When I register, it immediately takes me to the login page

2) When I try to login, it kept saying "Bad email or password"

3) So then I try to register again and it says email is already used

4) Finally check email and click activation link then signin works

Either add a message after signup saying activation is required or say activation is required instead of "bad username/password" on signin attempts.

thanks for feedback!

we do show a message right after the registration saying that email has been sent and you need to click there to confirm.

either it was not shown for whatever reason or you did not notice it or something like that.

anyway, we will rethink the process, so that things like that won't happen. thanks again!

I'd like to initiate an animation based on a button event (clicking another object). Am I missing that feature?

until recently we had JS scripting support in the editor, i.e. you could write logic in JS and attach it to various UI elements etc. we disabled it about one month ago because of major JS API overhaul.

we will enable it back in about one month or so and you will be able to do that and many other things in a clip.

sorry about that

I've always viewed "first ever" or "best ever" or really any superlative claim with huge prejudice. As in, that's quite a claim to be making without providing evidence. On the plus side, I couldn't find that claim anywhere on the site. My point and suggestion being, try to avoid making claims like that if you can't or don't support them. Perhaps I'm a rare pragmatic fuddy-duddy, but pure marketing hype really turns m…

How could they prove that they're the first? That implies they could prove the non-existence of something.

Since Universe is Infinite, it is scientifically impossible to prove non-existence of something. Still people tend to claim of being first at something. Americans claim they are first humans walked on the Moon. Is it provable? Did they monitor the Moon all the time it's exists? May be there was another civilization of humans which waked all over the Moon centures ago? Did Columbus discovered America? - there were people living on the land! etc. It is all relative, sure.
