M3-Task 3 (Explain particular techniques)

A Flash file can be quite large so I’m going to explain a few techniques to save file space and save rendering time

Crop

You can crop down the whole animation by opening the flash project/gif file in adobe flash or your chosen animating software, and latterly crop the whole animation down, you can change back ground colours to black and white to save file space, or you could even just cut the whole bottom of the animation down

Pixel dimensions

You can also change the pixel dimensions to make the whole projects smaller in size and physically saving you more space as it will require less because the whole project is smaller, think with animation the smaller the better

Compressing 

You could also compress the file when either rendering or you could place the whole project for storage in a zip file and only open it when you need to, but by choosing to render it at a compressed ratio you would lose some image quality and would need to find the balance in how big the file is and how clear the picture is
