Tumult Hype Reviews & Product Details

Easy to learn & use comparing to other animation software. Everything you want to use is in this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not the industry standard for HTML5 banners, and I've encountered some compatibility issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great prototyping app with timeline editing features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This needs third party feature support... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it utilizes a timeline approach with animations. It is familiar territory if you use programs such as Adobe Premiere Pro, iMovie, After Effects, and programs like that. It allows you to animate objects and images with ease. You can export as HTML with Hype. You can also produce animated GIFs that are high quality. You can create digital ads that seem really complex, but actually have simple builds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not too fond of exporting the files for a particular program; you have to have a strong knowledge of code. It isn't easy to find resources to address any concerns with this. I had web developers set up our file for the application that we needed, but it would be nice to have built-in export script templates or tutorials on building export scripts. The program has had a few bugs when using a complex amount of animations. Some of the filter effects have given me issues in the past. The effects would render incorrectly or would not work.

The way that Hype organizes scenes over timelines is highly intuitive and easy to follow. The supporting documentation and video tutorials make learning and refreshers quick and easy. It's a way to product HTML5 that is fast, testable and as elaborate as you'd like. The learning curve and production process are both quick and easy. If you've ever used Flash in the past, where it was, maybe, an "8" degree of difficulty, Hype is a "3". Complex animations are remarkably easy to create and never fail when deployed. Unlike most alternatives, I've found it to be glitch-free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not fond of the way Hype handles the production of responsive sites/elements. It works very well but, for my mind, requires considerable internal translation to yield the desired result. It's the one thing I find less than intuitive. I think I've got it figured out but usually have to do multiple iterations to get the proper result. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tumult Hype is good to create fast html5 prototypes without coding. If I upload vectorial files from other softwares I'm able to make those form interact with the user. If you are more used to design than to code, this is a software that let's you find a good balance. I like the timeline approach that it's basically the same as After effects, Premiere or many more.

There's quite few bugs and sometimes is hard to complete easy interactions on click. The files could become really messy. The interactions on the objects are really few. There's no a fast preview approach and each time is mandatory to relaunch the prototype on the browser. Sometimes is too much technical, and the auto-resizing feature is really hard to configure, I wasn't able to use it properly. This is not a software recommended for complex prototypes with many interactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tumult Hype is a great prototyping tool which is of huge value for those people who do not know how to code in html. An amazing feature is the fact that you can design an animation by using 2 main tools (timelines and scenes) which makes Tumult Hype very flexible. The additional optional to add some lines of code makes the software even more valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately Tumult Hype have several bugs that can seriously jeopardize the user experience and reduce the speed at which one can produce an artefact. For instance, When the user edits an element within a group, the interface has some rendering issues which go off when exiting the group. Another issue that seldom happen is related to the opacity level of an element. when editing the opacity of an element that has already been animated, this affects all animations, generating values that ranges from -100% to 200% that are clearly wrong.

Tumult Hype makes it so easy to create animated web elements. I've actually created whole websites with it, as well as menus, and other web elements. It's pretty drag and drop and it doesn't take long to learn. I think it depends on how much experience you already have with linear motion editors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No much to dislike. It does what I need it to. It's basically drag and drop. I would say the only drawbacks would be it's helpful to already have a knowledge and experience with timeline based applications (movie editing or motion) and to get under the hood knowing Java Script can help.

I purchased this when it first came out at a time when i was looking for alternatives to Adobe Flash. This was timely option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pretty disappointed with this entirely. If you want to do HTML5 specifically for Safari and Apple products then maybe this is a great option but for what this does even in the pro version that you pay extra for, there is nothing here that can't be accomplished, and even with better results with free alternatives or professional tools. When I found the original product lacking I was enthusiastic to see how the new version had improved but very disappointed with the lack of updated features and support materials that are offered by alternate products such as a wide variety of templates. At the price offered and for the updates and upgrades to a "pro version" there should be a lot more in my opinion and paying for a standard version that is little more than an advertisement to pay for a pro version is very disappointing to say the least.

- It's great for simple animations and mobile app mockups.

- The support forums are great and the developers of Hype are there to answers any questions you might have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- For complicated animations, you need to follow complicated workflows, by adding too many scenes, objects in the timelines etc.

- When you want to use custom fonts (or FontAwesome) you need to add them to every *.hype file you create. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You don't need to know any code to design interactive HTML5 presentations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app is a little limited in functionalities and has minor quirky issues, but it's great if you need to simple animations and interactive presentations without having to code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
