kk i have made like 1 min of my animation and it's going to be about 5 mins but i tride to export the 1 min that i did and it took like a min per frame how can i speed this up?
another problem i have is when i export my animation and edit it in flash and then export it from flash into a swf it is about 3mb thats alot if you put a loading screen in it would take about 30 mins to load is there any way i can compres my moho animations with out it messing up the quality?

Too many unkown variables.
A minute per frame sounds more like 3D than 2D.
Do you have a lot of images? A lot of blends? Fill effects? Brushes? All of those will add up.
You are exporting to... SWF? And you have a minute per frame render time?
I am in the process of rendering about 8 minutes of animation to NTSC video uncompressed QT. I have everything in there... custom brushes... gradient fills... imported hi res QT files... png files... transitions... transparency...
... the most I get is 15-20 seconds per frame... usually less. And this is out put to NTSC format on an older not so fast G4 Quicksilver Mac.
Like I said... not enough info on your project to know what is making it so huge and slow to render.

Okay... uh... did I read that incorrectly? It doesn't take a minute per frame to render?wildman1001 wrote:... but i tride to export the 1 min that i did and it took like a min per frame how can i speed this up?
First off... the reason the flash file is so big is because you are using GIF in the flash. That is a raster format. Flash's file format is based on vector. When you have vector content in Flash then you benefit from the compact nature of that format. Much smaller in mathematical terms.
You are basically using flash as a way to present "video" which is raster. 3 mb sounds pretty good for 1 minute... depends on the size of course and the compression you have set in the Flash file. Imported images in Flash can be set to higher jpg compression making the files smaller (lowering the quality).
Flash can show "video"... but video is raster.. pixels. Flash's strength for making small files is based on the vector fromat of the artwork.
Moho can export directly to Flash SWF but you sacrifice "features" to do this and the file must be optimized to allow SWF export.
