I have another question:

Aniboom, and I think Youtube, only accept files up to 300mb in size. My 2 minute video was already that big. So how do you get a longer video small enough in size to submit on the web?

Thanks for the kind words and the tips! I agree, the text needs to be larger. It looks good on my computer at home, but when I reduced it for the web it lost a lot of clarity. Gleeful is right about the liquid too. That's another thing that changed when the file was compressed. I will make the contr...

I've been tinkering with a story for a while now, and for some reason it's become a sort of semi-animated graphic novel. This is the first 2 minutes of what should be about a 10 minute episode, with many more episodes to come. The story seems a little gloomy right now, but rest assured, it will be f...

Problem solved! :D There are two different AVI possibilities. One is called uncompressed Microsoft AVI. That's the one I spoke of above. The other is just called Microsoft AVI. It gives you a lot of codec choices, but I just chose NONE and the render looks great!! Thank you all for the advice and he...

I just bought the larger size Wacom Bamboo tablet for about $100, and an HP scanner/printer/copier for less than that. I think the smaller size Bamboo tablet is around $60.

When I use the uncompressed AVI render, I have a choice between a V210 or a UYVY codec. The UYVY wont work at all, and the V210 makes a terrific looking video, but there is no sound. Apparently you need a V210 sound card or something? I would love to make an uncompressed AVI if I could. The H264 wor...

Sounds interesting. Can I open a Premiere file in After Effects, or do I have to save it first as some other kind of file?

Thanks SpaceBoy64, I haven't even tried to test anything on the web yet because I've had trouble finding any combination of codecs that work well enough. Right now here is what I'm doing and the results are fairly good, but not as good as I would like: I'm drawing art in Photoshop and exporting the ...

I love the retro-modern look and the music is great!

Hey Don, If you have more than one object in a stack, you can select a visible object with the select shape tool and then change it's order in the stack by pressing the up or down arrow keys. To select an object that is hidden in the stack you do the same except you hold down the control key when yo...

I have and it's been extremely helpful!

Thanks guys! I will play around with that and let you know how it turns out.

Wow Don, that looks great!

I have a slightly related question;

Do you put all of the alternate views and such in the same project and then just hide the layers, or do you save it somewhere else and bring it in somehow?

Thanks again Mikdog, that was very helpful.
