A good size for animation clip (in terms of file size)?

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hello,

I’m building an app where I will have a lot of animations (50-180 seconds long). 

( planning on using the media.playVideo() method.)

Just got finished with the first piece of animation (.mov) that is about 50 seconds long and the file size is 810.3 MB. Is this big for an app where I’ll have many more .mov files? 

I’m creating all my image files in three dimensions:  380x570, 1140x760, and 2280x1520

For the clips, would you recommend just creating for a 1140x760 screen ONLY or do I have to create three animations so that it could fit each of the screen sizes accordingly?

If so, how do I name my .mov files;  clip.mov, clip@2x.mov, and clip@4x.mov?

Thanks!

  1. You’re confusing your terms.  Animation ~= Video.

  2. You don’t use @ notation with videos.

  3.  Just one 810 MB video is way too large for most users, much less multiple.

Got it. Thank you roaminggamer. 

I’m totally new to all this and I guess I am confused.
