Giotto - Free Flash Animation Package

Giotto is the package of free flash animation for you in the design, not code. Giotto can relax and focus on the concepts of his creative imagination, the integration of stunning graphics and music into masterpieces of design.

The latest versions of Adobe ® Flash ® are moving away from the designers. Are increasingly oriented coders. With the introduction of ActionScript 3, the creation of a simple action such as clicking on the button now requires ten times more than before coding.

Giotto has full support for ActionScript 2, but we have incorporated into effect generators to help you create outstanding effects without any script at all. This software is for you, designers.





vector drawing, animation, sounds, filters ...

Create complex vector art in Giotto, anything from simple forms to the customs, such as polygons, stars, or a rounded rectangle. Transformation of vector objects in any way imaginable. Using bitmap filters like blur, shadow, brightness, and all blend modes.

Arrange all objects in the library, create symbols, movie clips and buttons for multiple use. Add text fields, with font kerning and paragraph alignment.

Object animation with motion tweens and shape tweens. Adding sound to movies and creating advanced interactivity.


Powerful animated effects without any script at all

Giotto is packed with over 50 great effects that can be applied to both the shapes and text. All effects are fully and easily customizable via the effects editor, and the results are immediately visible on the screen for you to play and explore.

There are over 100 effects presets, new user to show different ways the effects can be adjusted.

These effects are based on ActionScript, but it is not necessary to know the code behind them. Create a perfect ad has never been so easy!


Color Palette Editor that you can use

One of the main advantages of Giotto is the integrated editor palettes. Most of the editors of the color palette that there are pretty useless, but we did Giotto very applicable in real life.

The color palette editor uses special algorithms based on human perception of colors, mathematical models rather than traditional produce bad results.

After selecting the base color of your project, which would have a number of options for creating palettes with many different matching algorithms. This makes the beginning of his new project easy!


Username very similar to Adobe ® Flash ® interface

The animation software change from one to another can be difficult. We do not like learning to fully use new software as much as you do. That's why we created the user interface Giotto very similar to Adobe ® Flash ® and more simplified in order to allow designers to achieve results easier and faster.

Although free, there is no lack of key features, and everything is where it thinks it should be - tools, context menus, properties of objects ... so you have a sense of familiarity and ease of use from the first moment of opening.

We've added some new elements as the editor palette of natural colors, effects generator, and other tools to create stunning effects without having to touch the ActionScript code.
