artlantis huge animation file sizes

[Anonymous]

is there a way of creating movies in artlantis at 72 dpi for screen movies. It seems it only renders at print quality in quicktime and i end up with movie files too large to put on a CD even though the screen size is only 640.

ps, how do i slow the playback speed down, i have at the moment 10 screens per sec with a view of keeping the file size down and they seem to fly through in quicktime afterwards

Jazzdude;

If you are using a printer, then 'dpi' has a meaning. If you are displaying graphics on a screen then 'dpi' does not have much meaning. If you want a (movie) width of 640 pixels then set that size in the dialogue box.

I haven't got A*L on this computer and I can't remember if you can set the f/s (frames/seconds) speed in the A*L dialog box. Maybe you can?

You can sent the 'quality' of the render in the dialog box. For moving images you don't need much anti-aliasing (this will speed up your renderings).

If you really want to play with movies at the very least pick up a copy of 'QuickTimePro' as this will help you edit.

Tip: if you are producing movies from A*L you may find it useful to save the images as a series of individual (tiff or whatever) files and then pull them together in a movie editor.
