| Step 6. Save your animation for the web. Click File > Save As. In the dialog box name your animation "SeasonsGreetings" and save it in your folder. When you click the Save button, the Animation Quality Versus Output Size dialog box will open. (See Figure 3) You will see a slider bar under Quality versus Size. If you set the quality bar at a high setting, you will get a large file size. This is the second place where you have to decide between quality and file size. If you kept your number of frames low in the previous step, you can use the higher setting on this slider bar. Click Next and the program will optimize (compress) your animation file.
When it is finished click Next to preview the results. Click Next again and you will see a list of estimated download times for the settings that you have chosen. You can use the Back button to make changes if your download time turned out to be too large. When you are happy, click Finish to save your animation to your folder. Now close the Animation Shop program. Step 7. Publish to the web. You should now have five files in your folder. Package.bmp SeasonsGreetings.bmp SeasonsGreetings.gif seasonsgreetings.html SeasonsGreetingsbg.jpg You can remove the two bitmap images from the folder. You will not need to upload these two images onto your website. You are now ready to upload the folder (which includes the animation, the background image, and the webpage) to your website. To view your webpage use the url address below but don't forget to replace "www.yourwebsite.com" with the url address of your website. www.yourwebsite.com/Holiday/seasonsgreetings.html You can now email your family and friends the url address above and they can visit your website and view your online holiday greeting. ← Back JascR material used by permission of Jasc Software, Inc.
