v1.5 [Feb 16, 2013]
CSS Filter Support
The cutting edge of CSS capabilities is making an appearance in the Edge Animate. CSS filter support for:
Invert
Hue-Rotate
Contrast
Saturate
Sepia
Grayscale
Blur
Shadow
Gradients
Apply both radial and linear gradient styling to your elements through the new gradient tool. The new gradients feature allows you to:
Add multiple gradient stops to your elements
Create animation tweens for gradient colors and positioning
Repeat gradients infinitely based on defined color stops
Gradient transitions are available in either linear or radial (linear and radial gradient transitions cannot be mixed)
Specify CSS properties for radial gradients such as ellipse-farthest-corner, circle-farthest-corner, etc.
Control gradient positioning in rotation degrees for linear and x/y percentages for radial.
Advanced Typography with Edge Web Fonts
You can now browse the Edge Web Fonts library within Edge Animate and apply collection fonts to your compositions. Fonts can be browsed by style and added to the font library at the document level.
Color Picker
Our color picker has gotten a refresh to allow for easier color editing.
Color Modes
Colors can now be defined for both gradients and color using RGBa, HSLa and HEX.
Color Sliders
Color can be easily controlled and applied using new color sliders available in both the color and gradient panels.
Reusable swatches
Swatches can be saved and reused for both gradients and color at the document level.
Dimming of Locked Elements
Locked elements now appear dimmed in both the timeline and elements panel to easily distinguish between editable objects.
Iframe Friendly Preloaders
Preloading is now optimized to work within iframes for coordinated resource loading. Animate compositions contained within iframes can wait for the document to load before signaling the composition to execute, allowing polite preloading for advertisements.
Symbol editing mode preservation on Preview
No longer does your Animate composition return to the stage when previewing in browser. Animate will preserve your current editing state on each preview.
