same as below but set at 20 frames per second. on my PC Firefox plays it at 20 but IE won't play any GIF above 10.
Same GIF at 580 pixels square (265 KB--each GIF frame is 580 X 580, it's not just scaled up in html)
...and 580 pixels square, 10 frames per sec (also 265 KB--not quite ready to exceed 100KB on the main blog page yet).
any comments on the relative success or failure of these different sizes and speeds would be appreciated. I'm trying to get some "optimum" standards across browsers and machines.
I think this will not really work out across browsers and computers, because when somebody runs another software in the background it will also affect performance. Browser plugins might also cause delays or speedups. For example Bonzi Buddy. Or, while i am viewing your GIF, Outlook gets a new mail with a worm and automatically executes it as it's supposed to do and starts sending spam to everybody ... your GIF will probably get slower too. Or while the GIF is on, eMule finishes the download of MatrixReloaded-HDTV.avi and starts puzzling together the 2GB iso image ... But i think that is the beauty of the internet.
Thanks--I really don't mind if it slows down, speeds up or shows you one frame at a time. I guess I'm putting these variations out to show a range of what the size and speed changes do and get some sense if there is a "best," so I can just pick one and not have to do variations in the future. The main thing I always try to do is keep things under 100 KB but that's really hard to do consistently.
This looks like a copy of a copy of a copy. I like it!
