What Tumult Hype is
Tumult Hype creates interactive HTML5 web content and animations without coding. Its keyframe system can record movement automatically or let users edit keyframes and motion paths. Actions respond to clicks, touch, time, or document events, triggering animations, scene transitions, sounds, or JavaScript functions. Hype exports self-contained HTML along with MP4, Apple ProRes 422, animated GIF, animated PNG, PNG sequences, iBooks Author widgets, and OAM widgets. Professional features include responsive layouts, symbols, physics, waypoints, sprite sheets, templates, and advanced export controls. OAM output embeds content in desktop publishing tools, while a JavaScript API can manipulate scenes inside or outside embedded content. Hype requires macOS 10.10 or later, has no planned Windows version, and does not provide cloud collaboration. It is a perpetual license that works offline on compatible systems. A fully functional 14-day trial is included. Listed plans are Hype 4.1 Standard at $49.99 a month, Professional (Full) at $99.99 a month, and Professional Upgrade at $49.99 a month, each described as a perpetual license.
