movie problem

[Ravager]

i would put in my movie in the file attatchments and click " add this attatchment " then it would take me to a page that says:

 

 

The connection was reset

 

 

 

 

 

 

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few

moments.

 

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network

connection.

 

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure

that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

 

what do i do? ( the file format was mozilla firefox or quicktime player ) , yet i works just fine with just images or jpgs

How big is it? The forums only allow 3mb or less. Maybe try putting it in a zip file or linking to your own site.

ooooooh, i see, mine was huge, about 138mb, i'll try doing a zip, since i don't have a site

[Ravager]

well, i tried what you said... and still a no go, any other ideas?

To reduce your file size, try these Render to File settings:

 

[attachmentid=21647] [attachmentid=21648]

 

Then check off Advanced > click on Compression > choose H264 in the Compression Type drop down menu.

sorry, still too big, and worse than that, when i used that format, the movie stayed still for the whole six seconds......... i feel like i've hit rock bottom, and i can't show people my short movies... which makes me sad

Make the resolution smaller and put it up on AM:Films.

Yes. Turn the resolution down to 320X240 and see if that'll do it.

Let’s not despair here, the drama police might issue a citation. I think you need to change your compression codec. This is a one minute video tutorial on how.

 

Setting your video codec in AM (3.5M)

 

 

 

edit: at 320x240 you can cut the data rate down to 50kbit/sec

You make it up to me when I see your fist animated cartoon
