Adobe Edge Animate Seeks to Unleash the Beauty of the Web

he Web has been called many things both good and bad, but “beauty” is not a trait often associated with cyberspace. Adobe is seeking to change that with the release of Adobe Edge Animate 1.0, a set of Web design applications and services it says will allow designers and developers to “more easily create beautiful websites, digital content and mobile apps.”

Adobe Edge Animate, which also serves as Adobe Edge Preview 7 (Preview is now known as Edge Animate)  leverages standard Web development languages such as HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. Notable features include a timeline editor that allows the editing of property-based keyframes with enhanced easing equations, an intuitive Webkit-based interface, reusable symbols, native HTML support, resizable layouts and mobile-ready content.
