Quickly share Hype animations using the new Litehost export script

Once you’ve finished an animation in Tumult Hype, the next step is getting it online and sharing it. Hype has always been great at making the content, but uploading it has been “left to the reader.” So we were excited when Fernando Palacios, founder of Litehost, wrote to tell us he’d built an export script that does exactly that.

Litehost is a small service for sending finished work to a client as a link. With Fernando’s script installed, Litehost shows up in the File › Export as HTML5 menu. Choose it, and it will export your document, upload it, and copy a sharable link to your clipboard. It is that easy.

We like that no account is needed to try it for uploads under 2 MB. The link stays up for 15 minutes, and if you sign in with a free account you can keep it online, as long as it’s opened at least once every 90 days. Paid accounts on Litehost allow for larger upload sizes.

To get started, see the Litehost guide for Hype. It has the download, install steps, and tips to check before sending a link to a client. You’ll also find Litehost on our Export Scripts page.

We love seeing the Hype community extend Hype with export scripts. Thank you, Fernando!
