So, I made this animated header image thing that I would like to use, but I also want to make sure I don't like make everyone's computer freak out if you come visit my page directly. So, it's behind the cut. If you could maybe just click to see how long it take to load and stuff and let me know if it's like a massively long time or something, that would be great! :-)

ETA: New version uploaded....
ETA2: (hopefully) Final version behind the cut. It keeps doing a really long pause on the LOL frame, I'm not sure why. It's only one frame long in Photoshop. So, I'm not sure if it's a CS4 thing or a browser thing. But it should be smaller in size, too. I took out a chunk from the beginning of Cas just staring. So, anyway. Yes? No?




So, we good?

I'm not seeing anything?

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Duh. Wrong html code... Oy....

[wraith816.livejournal.com]

It didn't take too long to load and I'm on a painfully slow connection, but is there supposed to be a long pause between when the animation finishes and when the "*LOL*" appears, so you just see the texture there for a while?

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. Not really. Looks like I have a little tweaking to do.

Thanks! :-)

Um... I don't see anything...

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Fixed.

In addition to the pause already mentioned, I'm seeing a very odd color shift in Misha's face. He starts with an orange-y face and when he smiles, it looks like large areas of his face go greenish/gray. It's very distracting. :(

ETA: Just in case it's my computer, I'm looking at it using Firefox on a Win7 machine.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I saw that color shift, too. I think it's from the source video. I might have to try and get a better copy....

It takes a little bit for it to move for me...

*hugs*

It's a bit slow to load on my computer, but it's fine with me. Coincidentally, my computer is awesome and can handle anything...(I named him Cas.)


*goes off to be dorky*

Nice name! :-)

It took a bit to load, but I wasn't stuck while it was loading...like I could move around on the page while it was loading...so it's good.

It's also amusing :-)

[switch842.livejournal.com]

That's good to hear, and what I was mostly hoping for. :-)

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

Took about 35-40 sec to load on my computer with cable connection.

Cute header but seems a bit long to load and it completely froze the page up until it finished loading in Firefox.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Hmm, OK. I think I'm going to double check the file size anyway and see if I can get it down a little bit without losing too much quality.

shiny ;D

although I think the text at the end runs too long. I`d reduce the lengh (frames) of the text. This would also cut the size, and make everything load faster.

my connection isn´t the best anymore since we`ve changed the provider, at times it takes forever to load a page. But your ani works just fine for me. At the end I think you can`t please everyone, so I`d say if you want to, go for the animated header.

yeah, I know, this is coming from someone who`s doing (and uploading) one animated header/banner after the other, hehe.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was noticing the length of the text, too.

So, OK, a little more tweaking to do and I think we'll be good! :-)

[ctrokj.livejournal.com]

I say we are good :D LOVE it by the way

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Awesome. Thanks! :-)
