Tina-- We're dying to see what you've made!
I'll try to keep this brief. You'll need a video editing program like Premier
or Vegas, or a
video compositing app like AfterEffects. Import the footage you've made and
trim it, add
titles, transitions, etc. When you are ready to put it up online there will be
an export
option like EXPORT FOR WEB or similar. This will allow you to resize the
animations to
320*240 (a common web size for movies) and encode in a web-friendly codec like
realmedia, Quicktime Sorenson, or WM9. This is the very simplest way to do
webmovies
and let's the program do most of the thinking.
It is actually a complicated process and people do it as their job. Putting an
animation
within a webpage is another complicated process and another job! Heh heh.
If I were to walk you through it (ala KarenBlack-as-stewardess trying to land
the plane with
instructions from the tower) I'd ask you some basic questions like:
1) What is the size of your animation? 640*480? Larger...?
2) What avi codec did you use? DV? MJPEG? None...?
3) How long is the animation (seconds), and what is the filesize (in MB)?
4) what web-friendly format do you want to use? DiVX, QT, RM, WM9, MPEG1...?
I am on a Mac and I prefer to use Quicktime and its video and web codecs, but I
might be
able to help you. email me: holly@(protected)

is there a way
to compress it or does the compression has to be done during the creation
stages of it?
Hummm..... Thanks for your help.
