I made for mysalf a 150x112 .gif moving avatar... Unfortunately, the file is too big (about 7 MB) and I can't upload it... Is there something I can do?

Oh that's a strange one. Why not go with Wardek's suggestion then

[center][color="#9932CC"][b]Yeah Sammy, it's moving smoothly for me as well. Just lags at some parts, which he needs to speed up a bit.

Photoshop does provide 1:1 HQ, if you do it right with ImageReady. I do it every time I do animations.[/b][/color][/center]

With DVDVideoSoft you must remove every other frame to produce a move smooth animation

7mb is just too much for a site like this to handle. My internet has taken atleast 3 minutes to load just your animation.

1 fps for an animation is too few. I find for a 10 second animation I have 200+ frames.
(damn slow ycm)

Sorry, I meant 1 frame per milisecond... Anyway, I cut half of the video (now it's about 2,5 MB and 10-12 seconds) and uploaded it to Imageshack... Still the quality is crappy... Can't I do something about it?

Photobucket I think accommodates for that size, but produces long URLs.

Ok, actually I hadn't thought of uploading it, I just used it from my PC... Anyway, I did it with imageshack, but the quality is very low (see for yourself in my avi)... It was supposed to work at an 1 frame per second rate... What can I do?

The DvDVideoSoft Video to JPG converter (to get the frames), the FastStone Photo Resizer (to resize them to 150x150) and Gimp... (to make them a .gif file...)

Well, the animation is smooth in my PC, the problem appears after uploading...

You will never get perfect quality. What is wrong with it?

Well, as you can see in my avi, it goes too damn slow...

Try uploading to imagehost(dot)org . That what i use, their limit is only 100 MB, wich you could upload your avi with same quality. ;P
