3.02 Publishing Animations: 3.02 Explain Basic Motion Graphic Programming

This document discusses the steps for publishing animations and animated videos: 1. Identify the intended end users and devices the animation will be viewed on. 2. Optimize the animation by reducing file size and ensuring smooth playback while maintaining quality. This may involve compressing audio/video and fine-tuning compression settings. 3. Choose an appropriate file type such as GIF, AVI, MOV, MPEG or SWF depending on intended distribution and compatibility with devices and players. 4. Publish the animation by uploading it online, embedding it on a web page, or burning it to physical media like a DVD. Thorough testing is recommended.

programming.
Publishing Animated Videos
 Publishing animations and animated
videos involves the following steps:
 Identify end user and device.
 Optimize the animation.
 Choose an appropriate file type.
 Publish the animation.
Step 1: Identify end user
and device.
Identify the User and Device

 Identify potential users of animation.


 Identify the device(s) the animation will be
played on.
Step 2: Optimize the
Animation
Analyze Animations For Potential
Problems
 Identify potential problems that may occur
when downloading and playing a movie.
 If the entire movie will be downloaded before
it is played, determine which parts of the
movie are taking the most time to download.
 If the movie will be delivered through a
streaming connection, look for ways to reduce
or control the pauses during download and
playback.
Optimize the Animation
 Animations should be optimized in order to:
 Reduce the file size for quicker downloads.
 Make the video or animation play more smoothly
during playback.
 Maintain sufficient quality for viewing.
 Videos can be optimized anytime or
only when they are published.
Optimize the Animation (Continued)
 Optimizing animation
involves fine-tuning
compression settings.
 Optimize the sounds
in the Library by
compressing to MP3.
Step 3: Choose an
Animation File Type
Animation File Types
 Animated GIF
 AVI
 MOV
 MPEG
 SWF
Animation File Types
Audio Video Interleave (AVI)
 Microsoft’s animation and video format for computers running
the Windows operating system.
 Does not compress animation as much as other formats.
 Will not play on all operating systems or in all players.

Graphics Interchange Format (GIF)


 Pronounced “jiff” or “gif”
 Animated GIFs can contain 2-D or 3-D images.
 They are used for cartoons, logos, graphics with transparent
areas, and animations.
 GIF files are popular for the use on the Web because they:
 Have small file sizes.
 Do not require a special plug-in or player.
 Are supported by most browsers
Animation File Types
Apple QuickTime Movie (MOV)
 Files can be either downloaded or streamed.
 Run on many different operating systems.
 Must be viewed in the QuickTime player which is a free
download.

Moving Pictures Expert Group (MPEG)


 A very compressed video format.
 Files tend to be much smaller and better quality than other
formats.
 Recommended for videos that will be downloaded instead of
streamed because it does not require a specific player or
plug-in.
Animation File Types
Shockwave Flash (SWF)
 Pronounced “swiff”
 File format for animation created with Adobe Flash.
 Files can contain text as well as both vector and raster
graphics; also may include interactive actions written in
ActionScript.
 Must be viewed in the Adobe Flash Player which is a free
download.
 Popular format for the Web because:
 File size is small.
 Support streaming.
Step 4: Publish the
Animation
Publish the Animation
 For animations distributed over the Internet:
 Upload the file to the host computer.
 Create a link to the file or embed it into the web page.
 Test the animation in different browsers.
 For animations distributed on CDs or DVDs:
 Burn the file onto the disk.
 Finalize the disk.
 Test the disk in several different
CD or DVD players.
