This is the Third of a few Nick Wilde (Zootopia) animations I have made, the Jump animation.
This one is not actually meant to loop and so flickers at the end, this would get played once as he jumps. He would also obviously be moving in an appropriate ark while this animation plays but that would be added by the physics in the game rather than be part of the animation. The actual sprite was done at 128x128 and zoomed 4x for this upload to make it easier to see. This animation has 16 frames and was designed to be played at 16FPS.
I really cannot wait to see Zootopia, I haven't been this hyped for a movie in nearly a decade!

Didn't really do anything special, just uploaded an animated gif file in the normal way to submit images, it has to be below the max resolution of FA of course otherwise it gets resized and turned into jpg which wont animate and it will only work in full view as the smaller version and the thumbnail are also changed to jpg, it IS possable however that, while I don't know for sure, if the image you upload is too low a resolution then it may get resized to be bigger which would also kill the animation.
so the best I can say is:-
-make sure your image is below the FA resolution max (if its bigger you need to use the re-upload trick to get it to work)
- if its particularly small then resize it yourself before uploading( by a power of 2 so the pixels are still the same ratio so 2x, 4x, 8x etc this way you don't lose quality I did this with mine anyway to avoid it being too small)
- use an animated gif file (the only other animated format FA accepts to my knowledge is flash but that won't work for everyone, me for example I just get an outdated plug-in warning it also won't be viewable on mobile devices or I think, apple devices(don't have one but I think they don't support flash anymore), if you ARE using flash and its showing but not animating then the issue is with the file not FA as if it opens at all then its using the browser plugin and not any FA code but I haven't ever used it so I can't tell you anything else other than that you could tell this by just opening the file in your browser, it should just run like any web page if it supports flash)
- check your output file actually is animating before upload (just open it in your web browser and it should work, maybe your outputting in a non-animated format or you have the 'play once' option set)
- make sure you click 'full view' on your upload otherwise you just get the resized jpg
and also be aware that the thumbnail can really get messed up with animated gifs I was lucky but you can end up with a corrupted mess of pixels in which case you need to re-encode the file and try again, FAs really not that good with anything that isn't a jpg but its sort of understandable as they have the lowest file size and therefore server costs, would be nice if it supported APNG or something though or even larger resolution images. I hope this helps.
