Images, animations, vector graphics, video clips, realtime visual effects, JavaScript programming... With Radi, publishing moving images using modern web standards is suddenly incredibly easy.
What's New
Version 0.8.2:
A new Timeline menu is now available in the app's main menu bar. It contains a number of functions that previously were only available as buttons in the Timeline view. They also have shortcut keys for easier access:
Play - Enter
Next frame - Cmd + right arrow
Previous frame - Cmd + left arrow
Keyframe All Motion Properties - Cmd + 5
Add Shape Pose - Cmd + 6
Clear Motion Keyframe - Shift + Cmd + 5
Clear Shape Pose - Shift + Cmd + 6
Some functions that were previously only available in the toolbar or in the Timeline view have been added to the File menu.
There are now shortcut keys for switching between the tools in the document editing workspace:
A - Select Layers (short for 'Arrow')
M - Zoom (short for 'Magnify')
H - Pan (short for 'Hand')
P - Draw Shapes (short for 'Pen')
R - Draw Rectangle
O - draw oval
B - brush
S - select shape components
D - delete shape components
T - create text
In the Timeline view, some of the controls below the Timeline have been renamed and reorganized. There is now also a button labelled 'Add (Key All)' that creates keyframes for all properties for the selected layer at the current time. This is the same function that can be found in the Timeline menu by the name 'Keyframe All Motion Properties'. (If the layer already has keys at the current time, the button will display 'Clear Keyframe' instead.)
The Play button in the Timeline view is now bigger and hopefully easier to discover. Also, the Enter key now can be used as the shortcut for toggling playback.
The timeline will now always scroll to show the current frame (e.g. when playing or when dragging the timeline cursor over the edge of the visible area).
Arrow keys can be used to move from one frame to another in the Timeline view.
There is now a yellow warning triangle shown when a visual effect is applied to a layer that can't support it. You can click on the triangle for more information about the problem. In practice, this happens when a filter is applied to a Shapes layer that is contained within a Canvas element. Because the shapes are rendered as vector graphics directly in the Canvas within the published web page, it's not possible for Radi's effects engine to render the filter. If you want to apply filters to a Shapes layer, it's possible within a Video or Image element.
When individual points within a shape are selected, they can be "nudged" using the arrow keys on the keyboard. (Previously this would have moved the entire shape, now it affects just the selected points.)
Fixed bug that prevented the previous build from launching on Mac OS X 10.5.
Fixed bug that affected selection of shapes when clicking within a shape layer that contains many individual shapes.
Fixed bugs in the Brush tool where the created shape might contain invalid values (which would manifest as e.g. black flashes, or lines that point to the document origin unexpectedly.)
Fixed bug where double-clicking a Shape layer to bring up the shape component selection tools would not work if

Just a quick note: I took a look at their website, and it looks like this is free only because it's actually a beta. I'm guessing once it's all done it will become shareware.

I've written a (longish) blog post about how Radi compares to Tumult's Hype and Adobe Edge, hopefully it offers some guidance:
