Earlier today Adobe® Labs broke the silence and allowed Developers and fellow Lab members first look at the latest from the workshop: Adobe® Edge. A new web motion and interaction design tool that allows designers to bring animated content to websites, using web standards like HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS3. It’s a nifty application still in it’s infancy phase with lots of potential.
Features
Intuitive user Interface
The user interface is based on a stage, timeline, and panels for elements and properties. It’s influenced by the adobe user community’s favorite features and functionality in class-leading tools like After Effects and Flash Professional, but innovates in its ease of use. Animations and timing can be controlled on a WebKit-based stage, or via precise property adjustments directly on the timeline. You can also make quick edits on individual or multiple objects.
Visually author animated content
Create new compositions from scratch using basic HTML building blocks, text, and imported web graphics. Manipulate objects with an array of transformation and styling options which Edge natively applies to our jQuery-based animation framework.
