Sprout the easy-peasy Flash editor launches to the masses

Update: Had the wrong video for a bit, should be fixed now. Sorry about that.

Sprout, one of the coolest Flex applications I've seen recently has opened their doors so that anyone can sign up. They "launched" at Demo and they also presented at Engage. They initially let in about 5,00 beta testers and after a pretty short beta period have decided the application is ready for prime time.

I blogged earlier about Sprout and I'm still a huge fan of the service. It takes Flash content and puts it into the hands of basically everyone. You won't start cranking out sophisticated rich Internet applications with Sprout but it's a powerful tool for building widgets and other interactive content with a simple interface. I think Sprout also does a great job of showing off the diversity of Adobe's platform. You can incorporate your video, animations, graphical assets, voice and even documents all in one SWF that can be seen by basically everyone.

Cote' and I sat down with Carnet Williams at Engage to talk about Sprout. That interview is below.
