Working on creations is restorative. It calms and excites me simultaneously.

[It calms and excites me simultaneously.]

I agree. I get so many ideas and many I just can’t do because of the huge file size. Everyone is used to animations that run smoothly as in cartoons and movies.

The more frames the higher the file size and some people have trouble getting them to ‘open up’ then, so it limits the ‘smoothness’.

I'm sorry but it's not good enough for
nearly four weeks into the Freepathon.

We need more donations now.

Reducing physical size will bring down the kilobyte size plus reducing colors.

I know, but I tend to like them larger in appearance size. Thus creates the conflict, lol.

Me, too, I like to make mine huge but I know a few Freepers on dialup and when I finish a gif animation the software tells me how long it'll take to load on different connections. When it's too big I bring it down to what I think is a reasonable size, compromising so more people will see it (not click away).

when in campgrounds with slow connections I am reminded of waiting for files to load and am deeply thankful for small graphics. I need to see pictures but haven't the patience to wait 15 minutes.

You want them big. Do you try minimal colors? Another suggestion might be the best of both worlds to you; post a smaller version linked to the big one. If those don't work for you, keep doing what you you're doing. My two cents worth is free because I don't want you to feel obliged.   :-)

This is what "Animation Shop 3" shows when I save a gif:

Lol, funny, I use Jason's Animation Shop 3 too! It's my final program after cutting things out, painting, etc.

I do try the lower file output often but if they start looking distorted I won't do it.

I started out 10 years ago on a Compaq laptop with dialup and the finger pad. Didn't know anything about html at that time. I was oil painting and making stained glass windows back then. The gifs have ‘got me’ now, lol.
