Webshow intro animation
I'm working on a internet-based show about glass-fiber and I created the intro animation and bumpers inbetween segments in Moho. It's different to the usual Moho animations so I'd like to share it with you.

File size is 1,5MB and compressed as Windows Media. It uses bitmap images (transparent PNG), put on different positions along the Z-axis to provide a parallax scrolling look. The characters are stills, animated with bones. You can see some Moho particles at work too. The fake motion blur was added in another program.
It's nothing earth-shattering but I hope you like it. Comments are welcome but it's finished already. But who knows I might use your insight next time...

Dead-end street? In what way? Installed on 95% of every computer way? I don't have the Quicktime encoder installed, I could run it through Moho but it doesn't export sound (right?). I could encode XVid but that's less used than Windows Media, and if you're talking about avi, just rename .wmv to .avi and you're done!
Boy, I love standards, wait, how about Flash video, or Real? Seriously though, I think the most compatible format would be mpeg1/videocd. The quality is reasonable, the compression enough for a short clip. Quicktime has the worst player and doesn't work on Linux (I think), Avi works on Windows and Linux, but not Mac, you can never accomodate everyone with one file. But just let me know what you want, it's your website

Sorry, I should have been more specific. What I meant by "dead-end" was that WMV is really a delivery format, and not very amenable to editing. We've recently updated the Moho gallery to use FLV (Flash video), making the videos viewable by more people, more easily. Unfortunately, this file is WMV 9, which is particularly unfriendly for editing. Another format, like QuickTime or AVI would allow me to convert to FLV.
I don't want to get into a debate about standards, but I will say that we want to keep to one format for the gallery. You may not like FLV, but we certainly don't want to have 3 QuickTime movies, 2 AVI, 7 WMV, 1 MPEG, 4 FLV, etc.
By the way, yes, exporting as QuickTime does in fact include sound in Moho.
Also by the way, I don't get it when people complain about the QuickTime player. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I love the QuickTime player. Windows Media Player never even lets me scrub a movie. The QuickTime player always seems the smoothest to me, and the built-in editing and conversion features are endlessly helpful. (That may not be important if all you're doing is watching a movie.) QuickTime rocks - just my opinion...

I'll put a 720X576 DVD quality mpeg on my site and PM you the link. That way you have the best quality source without the file size of DV. Ok?
One thing about the Quicktime player...There is no conversion of any kind in the free player, not even FULL SCREEN! Sorry to shout, that's just ridiculous, paying $30 to watch video full screen. For video quality all three main competitors have their pros and cons but both Real and Windows Media Player are far superior in terms of features the free version. Can the free Quicktime player play DVD's? Sorry, I'm pushing it now

QuickTime Alternative will allow you to play QuickTime (.mov .qt) files.
This way there is no need to install the offical QuickTime Player. It also supports QuickTime content that is embedded in webpages. The QuickTime plugins include iPIX and QuickTimeVR. The QuickTime Browser plugin supports Internet Explorer, Opera, Mozilla and Netscape.
and full screen too

Just for the record mister Marble, Ant_Gri3d is not some kind of an alias of me! Not many posts, anti-Apple sentiments, kind of in agreement with me, as an outsider I would be suspicious.
But thanks Ant_Gri3d, I'll check that link out. It's all legal right?
