All my imagery was flat vector shapes…so I was good there.

Your suggestions about zooming was Great!

I had a text fade in and one graphic fade in… maybe

Anyway I am going to try all of these suggestions on sandbox versions.

Thanks a lot!

Perfect!

I am not sure the dev guys really knew all the options. We will look into this and have go!

Thank you very much.

I supplied them according to their specs. The had nothing to say about codec. Their specs were handbrake specs…

my question was asking about building art and animations, about creative process guidelines for leaner arts before rendering… not compression or output of the finished rendering. I am looking for some tips and tricks for building animations for a lighter file size before render output?

Could I have created the illustrator art differently for an AE project to make a smaller file?

For instance…the first draft of the animation was 38 seconds…then the client made changes and the animation became 58 sec to slow the voice over down with longer pauses. The first 38sec had no problem embedding…@12Mb. The 58 sec version was 2x the size and the app choked…but we were eventually able to get it to embedd. Could/Can I do something to make the art works a leaner And smaller file to render?

Thanks for your response.

Had to look up time-mapping. I don’t think so. I don’t want to stretch, slow, or reverse.

I want to cut frames 5-125 and match them with the (new) audio element at frames 850-975.

Cut and paste already pre-comped sequences to sync with the speech in the audio…
Version 1.0’s sequence “growing your business” cut out from their point on the time line and matched up with the audio where the voice is now talking talking about “growing your business” which is much later in the video, version 2.0.

Grow your business sequence plays as the voice is talking about growing your business. Likewise another sequence…jelly bean mountain cut and pasted to sync with the audio. Clever stuff all playing nicely together.

Hard to describe this stuff.
I thank you for replying…and pointing me to time mapping…I will use that somewhere else.

Cheers!
