Yesterday we launched Sencha Animator, a powerful desktop application to create awesome CSS3 animations for WebKit browsers and touchscreen mobile devices. In no time you can make complex animations which would be daunting to program by hand, or create CSS3 Ads for use in your Sencha Touch mobile web app.

In this 20 minute video, our VP of Products Michael Mullany demos how to use the interface; including adding objects to the stage and timeline, assigning IDs, changing properties and adding custom CSS.
