Flash.
Anistock provide flash animation clips in the FLV format, which is viewable using Adobe Flash Player. FLV, or Flash Live Video file, is a preferred file format that is designed for web playback, offering high rates of compression to deliver video over the Internet
Since Flash Player is already installed on over 96% of Internet-connected desktops worldwide, as well as millions of mobile devices, your FLV content is instantly viewable without additional plug-ins.
Unlike other video formats, viewing FLV files doesn’t require large player downloads, lengthy registration forms, or invasive up-sells to premium versions of the video player. With FLV, your content simply loads and plays.
So for web sites, blogs, or on line adverts, then a FLV version will be best suited to your needs.
Mobile
Anistock provides clips for cell and mobile usage in 176×144 file size @ 25fps as a .3pg file extension.
What is 3GP?
3GP – is the mobile phone video file format (playable on most/many mobile phones now available)
3GPP, 3GPP2 are the worldwide standard for the creation, delivery and playback of multimedia over 3rd generation, high-speed wireless networks. Defined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project and 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 respectively, these standards seek to provide uniform delivery of rich multimedia over newly evolved, broadband mobile networks (3rd generation networks) to the latest multimedia-enabled wireless devices. Tailored to the unique requirements of mobile devices, 3GPP and 3GPP2 take advantage of MPEG-4, the standard for delivery of video and audio over the Internet.
QuickTime
For projects that require editing of the video, combining the video with other elements such as text, music or graphics, or when you need a higher quality version from which to generate other formats like Adobe Flash, then QuickTime is for you. QuickTime is a file type that has broad acceptance across computing platforms. We offer all our QuickTime files in the following sizes
Web Quality – 480×360
Broadcast NTSC – 720X486
Broadcast PAL – 720X576
High Definition – 1920x 1080
The files are large, but retain the highest quality visual information. In the case of Web quality clips, the files are compressed with the Photo JPEG codec. For files larger than Web quality, the QuickTime files will utilize Photo JPEG or Motion JPEG, compression codecs
