animated (not so useable) X-sig...

[Merroc]

Of course i cant have it in my sig:

7. Signatures should total no larger than 600 pixels wide and 150 pixels high, including all images and text. This means you can have up to 8 lines of text maximum or an image up to 150 pixels high, but not both. Avatars are limited to 80 x 80 pixels. The total combined size for both signature and avatar should not exceed 50kb.

Of course i cant post it here directly:

8. Images posted should not exceed 640 x 480 and 100kb in size

But i have to show it...

http://www.xs4all.nl/~jeckman1/X3/Sigs/ ... mation.gif (its 'only' 236kb)... It was going to be my new sig, but then i figured it was much cooler as animation. But that made it too big, so now i cant use it as my sig (obviously).

surely you must be able to compress that to a reasonable filesize? use less frames and use variable display time per frame? not sure I'm not exactly an expert on animated gifs

lol,(ur sig looks nice, no comment on that)
I know what you mean, I used to have an animated sig (sun flare stuff)
unfortunately it was ~150 frames and a good 1mb in size...
got a lot of feedback from the forum users tough
(eg. you make the forum lag...)



it's been 2 years sinse then

Nice Merroc. Very Nice. Though as the rules say, too big.

It could be worse (not the sig, the file size ). I had a video of one of my destroyers firing at some khaak. I made it into a gif and cut it down, and it was still 7mb. It's only 7 secs long.

Cut out more frames using a video editing program, forget theres 24 per second, at a highish quality videos can go thru the roof.

Just the other day I made a 761mb video go down to 6mb thru compression + removing unneeded frames.
