  • Exporting to flv file is too big

    Posted by Dotan Baytman on November 21, 2006 at 10:01 am

    i have a simple animation with motion blur on it
    when i export to swf the file is 30kb and no motion blur
    when i export to flv the file is 60kb and with motion blur
    how can i keep the motion blur and make the file smaller?
    thanx

    sounds like your swf export is vector based, and all effects and motionblur that needs to be rasterized are disabled (this is an option in the swf export dialog).

    flv is pixelbased by default. no option here. you cant compare both file sizes, cause the technique behind is totally different.

    by the way…60k are pretty small. how long is you animation?

    its 3 seconds and its a banner for a web site
    so 60kb is big for that
    any other way i can compress it?

    the only way is to lessen the bitrate of the flv.

    if you can delive .swf also, try to get rid of everything that needs to be rastered (moblur) and export as swf. this will be the smallest file possible if you use vector graphics like illustrator files.

    by the way: do you mean kb (kilobit) or kB (kiloByte).

    I want to keep the motion blur and keep the size small
    i mean kilobytes
    also without the motion blur its 30kb
    thats still big i think
    whats the best way to use AE to do banners in flash to web sites?

    it really depends on what look you want to achieve.
    maybe you can upload your banner.
    after seeing it i will tell you what size will be appropriate for it.
