Optimise content For M2, I will be explaining how the content in my animation, 5 Until, was optimised, rendered and exported ready for it to be finalised. For my practice demo animation, I created it in Adobe Animate and saved it as an FLA file. To export the animation as an MP4 file, I went to File > Export > Export Movie and then chose to save it as an MP4. For my finalised animation, I must follow a similar a process to export it. It may vary depending on the software being used as I am not always going to be using Adobe Animate for my final animation. When it came to my finalised animation (5 Until), many segments of it were created in Alight Motion. Because of this, they were also exported on Alight Motion as MP4 files. After this, the files where sent over to be imported into Adobe After Effects for the pieced together animation to be exported as a whole. On Alight Motion, I have access to various exporting options, including choosing the file size, and the file type. I sel...

finished animation: As discussed in my animation plan, I have used Alight Motion and After Effects to edit and assemble my animated video. For some segments of my animation, I also used Adobe Animate and Flipaclip for simpler edits / parts of the animation that needed to focus on frame by frame animating. For most frames, I illustrated them on Ibis Paint X, as this application allows a lot of creative freedom when digitally drawing and allowed me to create a vast majority of the frames in my animation flawlessly. Heavy edits such as lighting, overlays and adjusting clips were done on Alight Motion, as it helped with my contingency plans and time constraints. After the heavy edits were made, I exported my animation into segments (ranging from around 10 to 20 seconds) as Alight Motion, as a mobile platform, is not as efficient and fast when exporting videos: especially videos that last for more than 30 seconds. When exporting videos on Alight Motion that are longer than around 30 seconds...
