Hi,
I am a new user of Ulead Animator 5.0. I am surprised b/c I am not able to create a gif animation for the web. Even if I just take one image and just add a banner text, it is at least 40 KO at the end (after optmize) which is too heavy for the web.
Is there any other easy way to reduce the weight of the banner ?
Thank you for your help.
Rgds,
Castille

40 Kb isn't that big these days, unless you have really slow dial-up...
In the Banner Text options, in the Effect section, try fewer frames on the Enter and Exit scene settings. Or use just "Enter" or "Exit" by unchecking one of them.
The other option is to make the image area smaller, and pick a background with a limited colour range.
When you optimized, what preset did you use? 256 colours, or fewer? You may be able to get away with as few as 32 without having image quality go down too much.

If you have tried all these, then there is nothing else to suggest. The GIF format has it's limitations, and the only thing one can do is try to tweak each animation by removing frames, optimizing with various presets, maybe trimming a few pixels off the area.
Each gif is a little different than the next. File size depends on the amount of information that changes from one frame to the next (i.e. how many pixels have new values - color, visibility).
Time, patience and practice is the best teacher.
