Let’s try a gif

[Levina de Ruijter]

I’m starting a course in animation Thursday and drew a very basic human figure and animated a short walking cycle. And turned that into a gif. Should work here too. Here goes…

It’s static now. Let’s try the movie clip then.

I used BB Code to upload this GIF Animation from my Smugmug site.

Hmmmm. GIF Avatars don't work. Supposed to do this:

 

[Levina de Ruijter]

LOL, nope!
Hi, Dave!

 

[DavidWatts]

Hey! Did the anim I posted ^^ work, or am I the only one seeing it work?

 

[Levina de Ruijter]

@DavidWatts
Yes, it works! That means they do work when embedded. It didn't work with my uploaded gif.

 

[DavidWatts]

But I tried the [ i m g ] embedding, and they didn't. Try BB Code instead, from your own host site.

Let's try this you tube thing

I did not use the video link tool in the post editor. I copied and pasted the actual URL at the top of the browser at YouTube directly into the post and it worked. Interesting. At first, I did use the video tool in the editor, and it did not work. Even more interesting.

Welcome, Marco! Good to have you on board. What do you think so far?

Looks great guys! Good work!

Image upload in the lens sample section was a bit quirky for me...kept telling me the image was too large. (It was1450px on the long edge and 1.38MB) Is there a MB limit?

Levina has set it to 1MB. I’ll ask her to bump it up to 2MB.

I posted an image 1500 on the long edge and it worked fine. The image was 1.5 MB since it was cropped and after converting to jpeg was only 591KB.

Here it is again...

^ Hey, nice shot!

One can embed a larger image than 1600px/side. Can't attach any that are larger or place in your gallery space. It is best for forum members viewing to keep the sizes reasonable, with either method. Larger embeds will expand up to twice with the forum's built-in lightbox viewer, and if it can be larger than the screen size, a magnifier tool will appear and you can zoom in even more. There is also a MB limit on viewable content as well, and that's currently being discussed what that limit will eventually become.

 

[Levina de Ruijter]

The larger the files, the longer it takes to load a page. That was my consideration when I set the limit.
