    What are you trying to output? GIF files? HTML5 animation? mp4?

    They all have a different approach to them yet there is no way to output any of them from one app alone... you're still going to be left w/compression / publishing rules you must meet that usually require more than one app.

    I'd have better feedback / "how to" info if I knew what your final output was (I build banners like a pigeon poops btw... just need to know what you're trying to output). <3

    • HTML5 for Google and MP4's for socialcam28
    • Thanks for the help!cam28
    • HTML5... I recommend doing them 'by hand'. I've yet to find an app that doesn't output a mess of code. I use a simple raw JS animation platform called GSAP.PonyBoy

      HTML/css is fairly simple however you are always going to have browser bugs to deal with (no app will cover those issues).      PonyBoy
    • As far as mp4's go I use AE to animate and output. I do use Illustrator and Photoshop to often output my layers for AE... can't really avoid that.PonyBoy
    • To be clear tho - the apps 'topes is posting above are just not there yet... they're enough to help you output minimal quality but I highly recommend you...PonyBoy
    • ... just use the 'by hand' route for HTML5 output... you have so much more control (although you do need have a good grasp on JS and scripting concepts)PonyBoy
    • Give this a read on getting starting w/using the GSAP animation library: https://css-tricks.c…PonyBoy
    • what Pony said.mekk
    • AE for Gif Banner animation
      or mp4 social video.

      Animate CC for HTML5 banners (Super quick and easy to use).

      or get good at coding with GSAP.      Sellies
    • What shits me is publishers still have 120x600 or 160x600 banner sizes and still want banners at 80kbs.Sellies
    • can you do both HTML5 and MP4's from AE? I usually have to create for both Google and Social and hate to have to create similar animations with diff appscam28
    • there are plugins that'll do it, cam... I think one is called 'bodymovin' however the time I tried it (2+ years ago... it may be better now) it output...PonyBoy
    • ... a ridiculous amount of script that went way over file size. Doing it 'by hand' is so much easier / efficient.PonyBoy
    • @Sellies... those limits are changing! (finally!) More and more I'm finding final file size to be 150kb or smaller.PonyBoy
    • Thank you!!!cam28
