Sublime Text was already doing the same with the big animation of its home page: http://www.sublimetext.com/ http://www.sublimetext.com/
(you can actually see three animations there, depending if you use Windows, Linux or Mac).
What I'm really curious about is how those images are being generated. Is there a tool already available for that?
- dbloom 14y agoIt doesn't look like Sublime is using the same technique as Apple, but it does look really interesting. It looks like their system allows for better reuse of images, and it is a lot simpler too. It might be less optimal though for frames with a large number of small differences, since they just use plaintext encoding for that stuff. Sublime's example does highlight a solid usecase for this technique that Apple's example doesn't really emphasize: <canvas> + JS video compression is still the only way to do this stuff losslessly, which is pretty important for what Sublime is doing.
