Title: How big will it be?
Post by: Hippo on July 02, 2003, 07:15:45 am

Ok, heres what im doing... I downloaded a Halo movie. I open it up in Irfranview, and extract all 6489 of the frames I want... I edit what i want, and get them all into a folder. THe automatically extracted with the correct numbering for Anibuilder, but before I start assembling it as an ani to put on a disk and bring paces, how big would an animation turn ou to be if the pictures, each 226kb (1.39 Gb total) were added? Would it be a ludicrist number like 139Gb? orwould it be compressed to a reasonable size? (before i extracted it was roughly 17mb)

Any guesses?

would be a bit smaller I think, for exemple, all the frames of an explosion ani I've made ( pcx files ): 135 kb
ani file: 115 kb
But you can't precisey know how big it'll end, I remember Darkage and Dargonclaw doing different versions of the same ani, and ending with quite different sizes.
