Start on the stage
Draw a character, arrange a background, choose a few colors. A compact toolbox and visible properties keep the tools close to the picture.
Platinum Animator
The joy of the timeline. A new direction.
Draw, animate and build interactive scenes in a friendly desktop workspace. Inspired by the creative spark of early Flash, Animator takes its own path: reusable symbols, a clear timeline, and a place in a connected creative suite.
A WORKSPACE FOR YOUR IDEAS
Draw something. Make it move.
There was a lovely immediacy to the creative tools of the 90s: you could open one, try something, and have a tiny world of your own before dinner. Animator brings that feeling to a modern drawing, animation and interactive-authoring workspace.
Find the movement
Build up layers and keyframes, look through neighboring poses with onion skinning, and shape a motion path. The workspace follows a bird through its flight cycle, with timing and tween controls beside the stage.
Keep a cast of your own
Turn artwork into reusable symbols and animated objects. A character should be something you can bring back, improve and share between projects, rather than redraw every time.
What will you make?
Short cartoons, character loops, interactive stories, animated interfaces and game art. The creative direction takes inspiration from early Flash, then follows an independent path on a modern foundation.
Part of your creative toolkit.
Animate the source object here and use it in Game Creator. Build a scene once and compose with it in Video Editor. The paired views show that workflow with one bird, one project library and a matching revision.

One bird.
More than one way to make it fly.
Animate a character in Animator. Use that same character in a game, then bring the scene into a video. The tools should understand the work they share.
1. Work on the source in Animator
The bird’s flight cycle is open on the timeline. Objects, animations, scenes, compositions and audio sit in the same project library.

The matching bird, pose and revision appear in the scene. Edit animation in Animator leads back to the source; the project links also connect the scene to Video Editor.

Make your workspace feel like yours. Keep the controls close, let the tools cooperate, and spend your attention on the thing you came here to make.
Your work. Clear boundaries.
Applications are designed around explicit identity and brokered permissions, with access scoped to the files and services they need. Cooperation should not mean giving every tool the keys to everything.
Friends at the same desk.
PlatinumSDK products share application contracts, familiar controls and a common approach to data. Connect the services you need without rebuilding every foundation. Existing systems can join through supported interfaces and adapters; compatibility depends on the integration.
Keep up with the idea.
A native, GPU-accelerated foundation and data-oriented architecture aim to keep feedback close to the action. Less waiting on the interface, fewer interruptions to the work. Actual performance depends on the application, device and workload.
Your workflow. Your vibe.
Shared themes and configurable workspaces let the tools adapt to the way you work. Choose a familiar desktop character or a more restrained business presentation, with consistent behavior underneath. Available controls and customization vary by release.
Leave the plumbing to us.
Discuss a managed deployment to reduce setup and day-to-day infrastructure work, or a self-hosted configuration for your organization’s requirements. Identity, integrations and hosting are configured deliberately rather than hidden behind a one-size-fits-all installation.
More making. Less overhead.
Shared infrastructure helps avoid paying for the same foundations over and over. Ask about an evaluation, licensing and deployment options suited to your scale; we will confirm the price and included services before you commit.
How the security and deployment model fits together
Authentication proves identity; authorization controls actions; encryption protects content in a defined storage or transport context. Release hashes and signatures establish integrity and provenance, not that software is harmless. Process isolation and resource brokering are runtime responsibilities. We help you select the runtime, hosting and access settings that fit your deployment, and explain which protections each layer provides.
We agree the hosting, integrations, access rules and support responsibilities with you during evaluation, so the setup matches your organization.
PART OF THE PLATINUM FAMILYA familiar feel.
A familiar feel.
A modern foundation.
These tools are built around PlatinumSDK, and your own applications can be too. Reuse document editors, controls, commands and workspaces, or bring your own application model. The direction is a compatible family of tools that can cooperate around shared work. Cross-platform support remains central; availability varies by application and release.
