Customer Reviews:

Great for flash animation [Posted on 2008-09-07]
This product is cool! I bought WebPlus by Serif about 5 months ago and found that so easy, I bought DrawPlus a couple of months later to try making some flash animations for my web site.

Everyone had told me that flash animation was very difficult to do, but I've found it very easy in DrawPlus. I probably had a head start as the user interface is similar to WebPlus which I'd already been using for a couple of months, but even so I reckon anyone could pick this up and start creating animations.

If you want to create an animation you can just say that you want an object to start in a certain position, and finish in a different position, say, 10 seconds later. The software then automatically smoothly animates the object from point A to point B. You can then get more clever and make the object follow a different path, make it spin while it's moving, or get smaller or bigger, plus loads of other stuff which I haven't even tried yet.

For a quick web banner which is what I was after, I honestly can't imagine that any product could do a better job.
