Ack! I tried an animated icon once, had a similar experience, and gave up the whole endeavor. Happy Valentine's Day to you as well!

OOOH I love your icon. See its clever and romantic....... sigh. I'm must go and wallow in some Smor.

LMAO....it is tricky. The hardest part is getting it under 40kbs, you can try reducing the colours in IR. How many frames is it?

Oooh and a late happy Valentine's day back atcha. :D

It was 38 or so. Reduce the colours?

egeria_uk February 15 2006, 00:20:59 UTC

38 is a lot of frames...you can try getting rid of a few (if possible without affecting the anime). For the colours - top right of IR where it goes on about dithering try playing around here - 128 dithered will be much larger than 64 dithered. Problem is that reducing file size always comes at a loss of quality.

If you want, I'll have a look at it for you.

ROFL Egeria - I went back and had to reduce the colours down to 8! to get it under 40kbs. Thor looked like a poo!!!!!!!!!!!

"Damn, damn, double damn, two hells and a bugger."

LOL! Way to go, Mom! I'm going to have to memorize that so I can cut loose with it at a highly inappropriate time, :D I better that will end a conversation, (or a boring meeting) big time!

Love, love LOVE the SMOR icon! *sigh* It's the ultimate ship!
