First of all, Iād like to thank the Tumult team for creating such an incredible piece of software, Iām an AfterEffects user and everything in Hype just made sense and clicked almost instantly - within two hours of downloading the trial I had imported some svg graphics, animated and published my first animation! (you can see it here if youāre curious, scroll down the page and it should start playing automatically).
Ok, a bit more about me:
Iām Diego Rodriguez
Iām a graphic designer/web developer/animator
I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina
My first language is spanish
Only a little animation so far (see the link above)
Iām a beginner on Hype, but advanced hotoshop & After Effects user
My favorite animation tools are AfterEffects and Cinema 4D (and Hype
The first animation tool I used was 3DStudio 1.0 (for DOS - yeah Iām old!)
Hi all, Iām new Hype user. Live in Malaysia and Mac user since 2008. Teaching in secondary school using Apple, Google and Moodle platform almost. Iām excited to learn more from all of youā¦
Hi there, my name is Riadh and I come from Germany. KAA refers to my artist name which is: Karim Abdallah Almansur. I am a diversity consultant and coach: http://gendemous.com/?lang=en. Because I wanted to improve the design and responsivity of my website and include some animations, I started to take matters in my own hands. I am looking forward to learning more about hype and its application. Have a nice day y Ā“ all! Riadh
This thread is fun. I donāt think I ever introduced myself on this forum. I am Max from Germany. Grew up in Spain and England. Now I call Berlin my home. I started programming with Locomotive Basic on a CPC464 from Schneider and havenāt stopped since but always had loved the graphical side of things even though in the beginning that was 16 colors (shades of green) and 320x200 pixel and manually addressing the graphic memory. Actually all it took to get me hooked on computers at an early age was something like this ā¦
10 PRINT " /\ "
20 PRINT " || "
30 PRINT " || "
40 PRINT " /\ "
50 FOR I=1 to 40
60 PRINT " "
70 NEXT I
80 GOTO 10
This was a flying rocket on screen pushed up through the empty rows in the loop (50,60,70). One could even use an additional loop counting to 100 to delay the computer. Funny to imagine that today.
Slightly off topic. But then again not. Pascal, C++ and Autdesk Animator. Later I fell in love with the ad-industry and worked for agencies with Flash, Aftereffects, 3Dmax and early Photoshop.
These days I use Sublime, Hype, still Aftereffects and still Photoshop.
I came to the Mac around Steve Jobs return in 1998 and left behind Dune2000, Doom and Syndicate as I was a PC-User at the time. Stayed with the Apple ever since and love it. I changed to getting things done with Mac OS 8/9 away from screwing with motherboards and reinstalling Windows 95 for the 5 time in a year.
I owned Datasetten and streamertapes in my life.
TextPad was my goto Editor on MS DOS.
Norton Command was my buddy on the PC.
BBEdit was my first Mac Texteditor.
I love Hype as it reminds me of Flash witch I started using under macromedia. Flash 4 later took off like hell. Then again Hype is so much more as it is structured with itās own logic but still open to all the HTML/CSS and specially JS-stuff. Flash back then was more like a little island and Flash 4 introduced programming to expand it ā¦ proto.layer51.com (now offline) was a little code heaven for devotees to the product. I maintained some code there. A animation library based on Robert Penners easing functions and a XPath like XML-Parser (XMLObject/XMLSA). To say it in the words of AS1:
tellTarget("../hype") {
gotoAndPlay("yourock");
}
I guess I am a slight nerd at times but have evolved to love good music, cooking and philosophy.
This is my second time returning to this forum as a weekly driver. Hope this time summer wonāt blow me away to new shores as I still got some ideas ā¦

Hi, Iām sort of a long-time-brand-new to hype user. Iām not a web developer. Iāve been a product designer, UI/UX designer and 3D modeler in the games industry.
I experimented with hype when it came out in 2011. I loved what it did but it didnāt match up well with my production needs at the time.
Iām now working on a portfolio and thought this would be a great tool for the job!
I have been studying @DBearās and @h_classenās examples among others too.
I work in advertising and I use Hype to create animated banner ads for websites.
I live in Los Angeles, CA.
My native language is English.
I recently completed an entry for the Vector Animation contest, a short piece titled āMorning Coffeeā.
I consider myself to be a āmid-levelā to āadvancedā animator, however, I am very much a ābeginnerā when it comes to coding and interactive design/animation.
My background is in Adobe After Effects, and it is still a favorite tool of mine, but I also really enjoy Cinema4D.
My first animation tool was After Effects.
Despite my career choice, I donāt have a favorite animated film!
Nice to meet everyone! Iām very happy to be here.
My name is Pete Borokhov
Iām a Graphic mixed media designer
Home is Queens, New York
Native language? Russian, English, Understand Farcy and read Hebrew.
What have you made with Hype ā or what are you planning on using Hype for? (Feel free to post screenshots or links!)
I use hype for interactive ads, slideshows, video exports recreations and such. Iāve played around with hype in the early days but at that time it was more of an experimental phase. It wasnāt until 2016 that I got heavily into it thanks to hype pro.
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Iām a Trekkie so Star Trek reboot, Tron Remake big fan of sci-fi 3D flicks.
When I donāt use Hype.
Iām a big fan of upgrading MacProās from 2007-2010
And at times I use Ableton Live to compose EDM and experiment with sounds. I love tweaking sounds. My favorite synths have to be the iconic TB-303, Access Virus C, TI recently switched to virtual Instruments - for those heavily into music production donāt judge I still love hardware.
My early music inspiration comes from artist and DJās Paul Van Dyk, Kai Tracid, Ferry Corsten, Activaā¦
My mini demos can be found here.
Most recent stuff
Completed track still needs heavy mastering
Most of all I enjoy spending time with my family and kids.
Iām Steve from Leeds, Been using Hype since around September 2018 so very much a newbie to it all, Iāve managed to pick up quite a lot and have created several HTML5 banners for use across the web. Iām looking forward to getting involved with the community here and picking everyones brains!

Novice, for sure, the programme is fairly intuitive but thereās so much more to learn!
Iām Photoshop through and through!
Adobe Animate & was quite good for certain stuff but working with DCM added several more steps out of the programme to get the creative prepped.
Spirited Away or any Studio Ghibli

Hi, Iām Gabriel arroyo Estacio,
Iām writer and musician from Caracas, Venezuela. I speak Spanish and Italian. Using Hype since yesterday.
I would like to learn how to use it to develop books and educational applications for children. And yes, Iām a beginner. I have some animating experiences using Anime Studio (Moho) and LightWave 3D.
My favorite animations are the cut out type.
Hi, my name is Barry (biflower7) and Iām new to your forumājust signed up for an account. Iām a beginner who would like to be able to create animated gifs for my (non-commercial) personal website. Iām trying to get some INFORMATION that will help me decide if the Tumult software application is right for me. It sounds like what Iāve been looking for (outgrown Giphy online), but I need some answers.
Iām running a Mac OS Mojave and my website is not a Word Press but a Wix platform (if that makes any difference). I contacted Tumult support yesterday, asking if I needed to know HTML code, and Danial M. was good enough to get back to me: āYou do not need to know HTML to use Tumult Hype, but it is helpful.ā
Okay, but how far can I go without needing the āhelpfulā HTML? At what point? (How much code do you have to know to find it āhelpfulā?) Does this mean, say, I can create amateur gifs that will suffice for an average personal website, but if I want to get really professional then I need to know code? Iām hope it means this, because I donāt have the time to learn more than the simple standard HTML codes. And if this means that I stay at the level of what is possible with Giphy, then I donāt want to waste my time (and maybe money) learning the application only to find out, after a lot of time spent, that this application isnāt for peopleācomplete novicesālike me. Iām looking to create eye-catching gifts for my website, but not the state-of-the-art kind that only a professional could create.
If anyone can help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated.
PS: Canāt decide what my āfavorite animated filmā is. Itās a toss-up between Yellow Submarine and Aladdin.
