Can anyone explain to me the various compression techniques and how to use them? I come here constantly and see animations by others that are fairly long, well animated and download at a decent 6mbs or so... I make movies (avi's and quicktime's) and am lucky if my first 10 seconds don't end up being well over 20mbs! I am currently working on an animated movie (bryce and poser - thus my obvious absense from posting images as of late) and would LOVE to show it for free here...or at least the trailer for it..but the trailer alone is clocking in at about 26.6mbs! Is this common? I created the clips in bryce and poser and did so with no compression..I then combined them in Premiere5.1a and allowed it to do it's thing as far as compression. Now I've tried the different options..but maybe I'm not doing it right..but I can't seem to find the proper balance for a good image / file size. Any one know if 26.6 is normal for a compressed movie trailer of about 32 seconds or am I going about it all wrong? A walkthrough would be awesome I'm using stereo for the music, all created (or mixed) by myself (if that makes a difference) Thanks again PAN~ (If someone manages to actually help me out here..the winner will get first dibs on seeing the compressed trailer - provided they actually help me achieve compression levels that would allow me to send it to them!)
