Better ways to upload things?
6 years ago
So I ran into an issue with the latest animation I put together

which is here
every format I can throw it in is just too big for FA to deal with as a Gif, and it doesn't feel long or impactful enough to upload as a Flash file.
that and it's stuck at 1080P resolution unless I do some major reworks and iiiiii kinda dun' wanna do that.
should I try and figure out a way to cram it onto FA, just link offsite, or what?

Can't you bypass the size limit by uploading a smaller version, then doing the 'Change Submission File' option after initially uploading it?

Can you? I might try that. I know it works for stills but I wasn't 100% sure with Gifs.

Ahahahaha actually timed out with a 'file too large' error. SO guess not lD


I think the only way to make it work on here would be to turn it into a flash file, as FA doesn't have any support for modern video formats :(

You can maybe upload a lower quality version with a link to a higher quality version in the description. That's what flash animators usually do, as you have to render flash animations at super low quality to stay in the size limit usually.

Aye, sorta agreeing with the guy above, your best bet may be just to upload 'preview images' to FA, with a link in the description to the full thing hosted elsewhere.
