Convert MOV to FLASH to a website ?????

Dear friends, I did a simple animation movie whitch has a paper sheet being folded as an Origami and it turns to a woman dress. It is a classical Origami work. In the background it has a texture and the paper goes over it with a different texture. All the Origami drawings (movie frames) were made in Illustrator and exported to Photoshop where I did the texture of the dress. In FCP I opened a new timeline and I insert every single drawing repeting it 3 more times, in the end I had 30 frames per second and a good and smooth animation. Fine by now ...... Last week the client ask me to set the movie to be the introductio of the company's website. Then I exported it through the "quicktime conversion" as a flash file, buuuut the web programer is saying that the file is too heavy. Will I have to make it all over again in Adobe Flash (urrrgh) ? Any Idea ? Any clue ? thanks Fellows ....

macmithos : buuuut the web programer is saying that the file is too heavy. the webmaster is lazy :( I always give huuuuuudge files to my clients and they recompress it to integrate in their site The last animation I made was 1Go per minute (video codec "Video", audio "wave", HD size for dailymotion ;)), and the client used my QuickTime movie as intermediate format (with his flash encoder application). so it's not a real answer, but it's not your job to adapt video to his technical specifications (or he must provide them to you) PS: : In FCP I opened a new timeline and I insert every single drawing repeting it 3 more times, in the end I had 30 frames per second and a good and smooth animation. You simply duplicated frames? so your "content framerate" is 8 fps? (=30/(3+1)) (I don't understand why a duplication will introduce smothness) so export your video at this framerate (and the size of your video file will decreasee, easiest to compress it again in a flash format) bye

macmithos Did you export it as a SWF or FLV? Normally the export tools in NLEs are not very good for exporting web video. You should export the video as uncompressed source and then use a encoding software like SUPER (free) or Sorenson Squeeze to encode to a appropriate web format.
