GIF animations (Bannershop GIF Animator 5) end up being ~100-200KB and flash animations (Adobe ImageReady) export at ~80KB at best. I start with an image that's only around 10KB (optimized in imageready as best I can--30 quality, progressive), and after a simple fade animation of a couple frames, it becomes 10 times the size. I am relatively new to this, so i'm sure i'm overlooking a lot of file crunching techniques. I'd really appreciate any input on how to establish this simple fade effect without the large file size. Manual modifications, different programs, different formats, javascript? anything that works! Thanks!
