so I've made a short commercial using a lot of keyframing with text and
such that has embedded audio to go with it. I have the audio aligned
with the text and it works fine when I test the movie and also when I
publish it. but when I stick it on the web, the animation is slower
than the text and it gets off. it's almost like the publishing didn't
work correctly. is there a way to correct this so the audio is lined
up? why would it be slow in a browser and not on the published file?
it can't be connection because I'm running some nice fast internet.
I'm not sure of the situation there, but browsers definitely impose
their own overhead... people regularly see faster performance in
Projectors, for similar content on a similar machine, than they do in
any one browser, much less the entire set of browsers that your audience
might use.
Have you tested that file on a slower computer yet? One mistake I see
lots of people make is to set a high framerate, in hopes of making
things smoother. What this actually does, though, is play faster on
faster machines, and slower on slower machines. Setting a reasonable
framerate (like, say, the 24-30 fps that movies and TV use) means that
more machines will play that content at the same speed.
Other possible factors for slower browser performance include the
surrounding HTML... most browsers are configured to support only two
network requests per domain at a time. If you're streaming in a SWF,
then any spacer GIFs or stylesheets or external .JS files or other
material can also make things noticeably slower than when playing cached
local content.
There could be a couple of different causes at play here, but the above
are two of the big general issues. D'you think either might be affecting
you here...?
