Hype wishlist
Having used Hype since it came out, I can truly say that it’s the best interactive tool to appear on the market since the good old days of Macromedia Director and Flash (which I hated).
It is now a mature and robust tool which can offer much more than simple animations, infographics, web sites and interactive prototypes.
As such, and in order for it to really expand and attain the status it deserves, I feel there are still several additions that should be provided to expand its functionality and robustness.
My wish list includes the following:
Interface
Ability to color code layers and folders
Fit canvas to screen (command 0)
Master pages (like Keynote, indesign, etc)
Place Lorem Ipsum text
Built in basic vector shapes (like Keynote, Pages)
Interaction
Menu based toggles: video, visibility, etc.
Sound level control
Fade sound up/down over time
Drag and drop to target
Condition based interactions (if, then…else)
Linking separate Hype files (on mouse click, go to Hype file “file name”) this would enable creating very large projects.
Import/Export
Import a layered Psd, or Affinity file with layers separated and registered
Import 3D (dae, obj…)
Import widgets (from BookWidgets, Bookry, etc), the same as the existing export to iBooks Author widget)
Simple plugin import of JavaScript functions for non coders (like the endless great stacks in RapidWeaver)
Export Hype project to ePub3
Export to IOS app.
Export GIf with transparent background
Performance
Convert SVG to vector object and enable morph
Convert text to vector object and enable morph
MP4 auto play option with sound
Extended Functionality
Quiz support (or import quiz function from external software) for educational applications
Simple database functionality (for example: search for all blue cars in the catalogue, or all the names starting with A)
None of the above detract from the great quality of Hype, but we are already looking forward to Hype 5.0
Hello
I wish we could have a little control over the quality of the Animated GIF or GIF sequences, in Hype 5. Like being able to add noise to them. That would improve the quality of the shadows in my background image.
I am aware that GIF are limited to 256 colors, but that is what I am asked to produce. Animated PNG is lovely, but that format is not supported for our needs. So if we could just add a little noise to the GIF images, it would be great.
Acutally when I export my animated GIF directly from HYPE, the shadows are made of huge steps between the tones of gray. So to get around this problem, I export everything in PNG sequences, open Photoshop, put them in a Timeline et export again, this time as GIF, to which i can add noise. The quality is OK... but unfortunately that slows my animation considerably, even though I have no extra delay between the images.
I have searched for a solution among all the topics on your Blog, but was not able to find any. Thank you 
Thanks for your suggestion Sylvie! Tones of gray are definitely hard to capture in the colorspace in Gifs, so adding noise is a great solution. A pure grayscale gif can actually look good, but when additional colors are added to the colorspace, the image engine pushes out a few shades of the possible 256 shades to accommodate additional colors.
