USES OF ANIMATION • Within the realm of website design, animation can be applied to create a range of visual effects that catch the attention of the person browsing the site, while giving it a more lively and busy feel. • These animations can be used to present information, promote a product, or even just to entertain the viewer by making the site more interactive, improving the overall quality of the site, allowing for some visually appealing results.

DIGITAL ANIMATION - VECTOR • Vector animation is a method of animation in which the art or motion is controlled by vectors rather than pixels. Vector graphics are defined by a start and an end point, and allows for smooth animation by creating a simple or complex path, and allowing movement of objects through the path

DIGITAL ANIMATION COMPRESSION • Compressing animated files helps to create a reasonable file size that doesn’t take up too much space on a drive. This can usually be done through exporting the video and selecting the format, bitrate, and resolution, as well as adjusting the keyframe, and framerate. • For video selecting encoding mode and editing the audio options can also help.
