animation size

[skala67]

I am currently bidding on an animation project. the client would like to use the animation on a website. I am producing it in C4D 9.5 and it will be at 320X480 as a quicktime file. He would like to know what the file size would be for a 60 second animation. I know many of you have websites with your animation works on them. Which compression works best/smallest and what sizes of files are you getting. Any other suggestions are welcome too.

 

Thanks,

mpg has worked for me, quality and size - wise

hi there,

divx worked best for me so far. it's exportable directly from Max in Divx6 codec format... dunno about C4D though. I recently had 800x600, 30secs, as 1,9Mb.

U can use free RadTools(do a web search), which can convert into various formats, so U see what suits U most.

hope it helps/

I ussually use quicktime with sorenson 3 codec, I like the quality, and I make it streaming, so it starts right away...no waiting, I'm also playing around with FLV,

its a flash video format that looks very promising...
