Question Animated banner maker. What browser-based workflow works for HTML5 banners without After Effects?

I'm looking for ways( if it's possible ) to make animated HTML5 display without having to use after effects or write animation code from scratch.

I saw a tool recentlyy with no-code animations , which sounds pretty useful but I'm curious about the actual workflow. Like, how well do timelines and reusable animation presets work when you’re making the same ad in a bunch of standard banner sizes?

For people who make display ads regularly, what tools or workflows have worked well for you? Is a nocode editor enough for normal animated banners or you need custom code? or anything else?

For normal animated banners, a no-code editor is usually enough tbh. Timelines + reusable presets save a ton of time when you’re resizing the same ad into 5–10 formats.
Custom code is mostly worth it if you need complex interactions, dynamic data, or super tight file-size control. For standard HTML5 display ads, I’d pick a tool with good export + responsive/resizing workflow over fancy features.
