Trick and Tips
| • | Big MP3 music can contributes 95% to the size of overall show. If you use MP3 music provided in each templates or choose from InAlbum music collection, there is no problem as they are all well compressed and trimmed to about 45 seconds. But if you choose your own MP3 file, you need to check how big it is. An MP3 file can have size from 50KB to 10MB |
So always check the size of the exported HTML files and make use of the compression tool if necessary.
| • | Trimming an MP3 file will bring it down by significant size. Trimming halfway will give you half the file size. |
