    Image Sequences - Are they heavy in file size? Alternatives to a Ken Burns effect?

    ShindaTravis Community Member

      We are building a digital magazine for a client which features about 50 performances. Each performance has about 3 - 5 images which he would like featured in a Ken Burns style, a sort of slow zooming/panning effect and then it fades to the next image which also pans/zooms. This needs be done in the background BEHIND other content above. My solution at first was to just do an image sequence and have it loop. This allows me to have the content above as a MSO.

       

      My app is currently at 212 MB with a bunch of other pages before this.. I am wondering how heavy image sequences are? If I were to do about a 15 second image sequence on every performance ( there are 50 of them ) would this make a massive file sized app? If so, what would my alternatives to be?

       

      Here is a screenshot just for reference.. the image behind this content would need to be the moving "slides" --

      Thank you so much for any help in advance.
