MotionComposer, a new $149 tool from software maker Aquafadas, specializes in outputting two versions of animations you’ve created using the tool. One version uses Flash, the other HTML5. While the animation will look the same to the end user, the benefit is that it will play on any device, even the Flash-phobic iOS that’s on iPhones and iPads.
MotionComposer accomplishes this via WebKit. The upside is that its animations will run on the latest browsers no matter where they’re installed: desktop computers, tablets, or smartphones. The downside is that the animations may not play on older browsers. Another downside (if you’re a Windows user, anyway): MotionComposer is a Mac-only application.
