    Who's made the jump from flash to HTML5 ads? If so what tools are you using to create your HTML5 ads?

    - hand coding and using JS libs like Jquery, GSAP etc for animation?
    - using tool like Google Webdesigner or Adobe EDGE, Adcade etc?
    - building in flash and converting with swiffy?

    It's an odd situation to be in knowing that Ads built in HTML5 could take longer to make and at the same time it wont be possible to achieve the same levels of animation and in all probability they will also have larger file size... yet this is the way forward for making ads.

    • Just started myself. GSAP made it very easy. Double the production time for having to QA though. Ran some tests. Thought Swiffy was the fastest by far.fyoucher1
    • Just need to figure out if Swiffy's runtime.js file gets counted towards file size on non-Google networks though.fyoucher1
    • And I eat my words above. I know. Came faster than I thought it would.fyoucher1
    • couple of test i did with swiffy - the html files were coming out at 100k more than swfdee-dubs
    • Swiffy always worked well for me, not much higher in file size than the SWF. BUT, that's not including that 120k runtime js file, which goog nets don't count.fyoucher1
