I'm busily attempting to put my animations on a website. So far, so what, right?
Well. These files are a whopping 284 and 185 megabytes. The site I'm working with only tolerates (dramatic pause) fifty. Fifty! (So you might understand my consternation.) :(
Is there a way (technique, software, freeware that would shrink these two behemoths to a more tolerable size? I would appreciate what anyone has to say (write?) on the matter.
Thanks

Thanks, A.A.
I'll give it a shot. :)

And remember. Sorenson is the best for minimum size.
Good luck

I used Quicktime Pro to compress my demo reel. It was initially 500 something megs. I compressed it down to 200 something. Then I grabed that file and got it compressed down to around 17 megs. What I ended up doing was a lot of tests changing the settings and writing down those settings. I found that by dropping the sound quality down a lot, it brought the file size down a ton, with little affect to the sound quality. Of course now it doesn't seem to want to play on Mac computers, but I'm not sure if that's because it's compressed or if it's compressed from a Premiere file. You just have to play with the settings and try it out. Good luck.
