After the reign of animated GIFs and Flash animations, the new animation editors that take advantage of HTML5 and CSS3 technologies (supporting the new web standards) have arrived. That's why, from Neoteo, we bring you the 5 free animation editors. We'll talk about editors for several platforms, mainly web, but their renders are compatible with all web browsers, mobile devices, and desktop computers.
Purple Composer
We'll start with Purple Composer, a powerful application with which you can create HTML5 animations easily and fully responsive (they can be viewed on mobile devices and all desktop computers). Purple Composer is a free application available for Mac OS X, and you can also download it as an Adobe extension to work with Adobe InDesign or Adobe Photoshop. (You'll need to register on their system to download the application and plugins.)
HTML5 Maker
We continue with HTML5 Maker, a web application that supports all text filters used in the market (you won't need external tools). The platform also contains a large number of images, effects, and manipulation. The tool has a timeline-style interface, making it easy to insert transitions. HTML5 Maker is a free web application that works perfectly in all web browsers.
Mugeda
Mugeda is a web application that provides a professional platform for creating HTML5-based animations for all mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) and all brands of Smart TV. (Unique with this feature.) Mugeda is a free web application with limitations that works perfectly in all web browsers. (It lets us create 20 animations without restrictions.)
Animatron
Animatron is a web application that lets you create animations, banners, and infographics based on HTML5 that can be viewed on mobile devices and desktop computers. This intuitive editor has a simple interface and an automatic HTML5 publisher. Animatron is a web application that works perfectly in all web browsers.
Blender
We'll finish with Blender, an application that we couldn't leave out of this list of animation editors. With this powerful modeling tool, animation, and 3D graphics rendering, you can create professional projects. Because its user interface is quite complex due to its great features, we recommend using the tool for large projects. Blender is a free application available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
This time we won't end with a conclusion, but with a JavaScript library for HTML5 animations, called TweenJS (try its interactive content suite "createjs") that will be of great help for the five animation editing tools.
