Topic: Problems with megabytes! URGENT!

Hello reader!

This is a URGENT thing and I need you to help me! Okay, so, I wanted to make my FOS 2 entry HD, so I shot the pictures in the Logitech Webcam Software to make it HD, and then I edited it into Stop Motion in MonkeyJam. But when the second scene rendered, it had over 500 MB and the animation was really crapy, plus I wanted to see if the animation was also gonna be crapy on YouTube, so I tried to upload the scene, and it said it will take 180 minutes to upload! So my question is if I should get a new animation software to edit the pictures, or tell me if you know any software or ANYTHING that could make the scene smaller. (meaning the megabytes obviously)

Please help me in ANYWAY, or else I will have to re-shoot these two scenes and take the snapshots in MonkeyJam.
Thank you for your time to read this.

Re: Problems with megabytes! URGENT!

I think your problem is just your video player. Usually, a 500MB animation is going to look choppy because the computer has to process so much at a time. I'd say make a compressed version of the video just to make sure your animation looks good.

That's exactly what I'd like to do, but how? Is there any softwar to make it compressed or anything?

Do you want your whole video to be in HD? Because that might be your problem. Try formatting it to a smaller aspect ratio.

I'm working on getting my studio back up and running, so stay posted...

I guess I don't need the HD. But I really don't want to re-shoot the two scenes.

Hmmmm.... Did you save all the pictures so you can put them in monkeyjam again?

I can, but that will make no difference since the pictures are HD, I guess. But I think something messed up in MonkeyJam most likely.

You can compress the video in MonkeyJam. If you do that and the animation turns out fine, then the HD footage is probably fine as well.
