Hi Guys,

I’m developing a new site but am having trouble getting the animated movements of clips really smooth and fast.

check here for an example of what I mean.  
[http://www.mx-digital.com/main.htm](http://www.mx-digital.com/main.htm)

I’ve been playing around with image blurs and recording at a higher frame rate but nothing looks as smooth as the example.

Can any one give me any pointers or direct me to some helpful tutorials?

Thanks in advance  
–Neil

I know it´s not yours, I was talking about the first one, I like it the background music. Neostream is from another world!!

one way to get it faster is to speed up your frames. Set your frames speed at like 60, instead of the default 12. That will speed things up a ton.

actually, I think I used 30, I really didn’t want that super fast effect that most sites have. Experiment and see what you like best.

</div>

will do, thanks

one other quick question.  
alot of the sites with the super fast animation effect have blur filters on their graphics. Is this achieved by importing the image into flash twice, once with the effect and once without??

cheers

yeah, I uaually create the effect in Photoshop and then inport it. Although some people can create that effect in AS (I think), although I have no idea how. I just use Photoshop
