This looks like a really full-featured and powerful animation tool! The tutorial movie was very impressive. The gallery[0] has some good looking examples, but they all run very slowly (1fps) in both chrome/firefox on my MBP. Not sure why performance is so poor on my machine. One thing I couldn't figure out from the site is what their revenue model/pricing plan is. I saw that guest accounts are active for 15 days, but what are the limitations after I sign in?

Also, I tried making a basic animation. When I visited the project's embed link, I just get "snapshot failed to load"!

  Can you post the URL of your project in the editor? We'll look at it asap!

    I'm not sure what the original project url was. When i clicked "embed", it said I had to clone the project, which I did. It then redirected me to http://editor.animatron.com/#p=b5da1953a67b29f8d0e00c0c http://editor.animatron.com/#p=b5da1953a67b29f8d0e00c0c which loaded the identical project (this project seems to no longer exist). I clicked "embed" again and it showed me the url http://player.animatron.com/go?ea0713ae8d4c50d3a8589aa392c3981c-v1.1&w=550&h=450&t=0 http://player.animatron.com/go?ea0713ae8d4c50d3a8589aa392c39... I can see the project in my projects page, but I can't figure out how to edit it from there.

      to edit the project from the projects page you need to click small edit icon just below the project. yeah, I know it's not easy to notice, working on that. http://glui.me/?i=h8i4rdkzwjnuojf/2014-03-07_at_11.37_AM_2x.png/ http://glui.me/?i=h8i4rdkzwjnuojf/2014-03-07_at_11.37_AM_2x....

Thanks for the compliments! Not sure about what's causing the fps issues, but we're definitely investigating. At the moment, there aren't any limitations after you sign in - Animatron is free, and the only difference between a registered account and a guest account is that guests can only create one project (which is only saved for 15 days). Pretty soon we'll be rolling out a few different paid-subscription plans that will offer advanced features and functionality, but there will always be the option for a free account.

  Similar issue on the FPS using Firefox 24. It all loads (once I let JS do its thing) and can be interacted with (made a quick little movie of a box dancing around, but its like watching a slideshow. With a few optimizations to speed up interactivity, this would be really cool.
