The Animator

Hello all,

I have just rolled out a big change to animation encoding.

Around Christmas and the new year period, I had various problems with my server going kaboom. This seemed to be because the animation encoder could get very busy and exhaust the memory and CPU of the server.

I have now moved the encoder to its own isolated service.

You should notice no difference - except your animations should now encode within a few seconds of saving (yay!).

I will be closely monitoring it over the next few days. But do post in this thread if you get an animation stuck in "encoding" for a long time.

On-topic replies only please.

is asking what cpu you have on topic?

OMFG HEY WOLFY <3 @wolfy711 its been too long

I am literally just working out what I should buy 😆 - I pay Amazon for the servers three-years at a time.

Right now, it's a 2vCPU server with 4GiB RAM. I might go a bit bigger if I can afford it.

Okay, there might be a bit of downtime later whilst I switch over my servers. Sorry in advance.

(apparently I can get a better database server for free until the end of the year. Awesome!)

idk what that means, but sounds cool :0

Server switch sorted for the next three years then. Double the RAM, more powerful database. Hopefully the site will go down less and be cheaper for me now.

@Dan

But please tell me. Can't you make an animator from sound by any chance?

Or we made an animator, download the videos that we animated, make sound out of the animator and upload the video to YouTube or VKontakte?

@Jle3v

Basically, it means more storage on your computer. uh... did I get that right @Dan?

@Luni_

Dan was probably right.

@Dan

my animation “Evolution” is still encoding and i finished it like 4 months ago

Posted animation unavailable

@naturally_sleepy

Can you try editing and re-saving it?

@Dan I cant. Whenever I try to edit it, the website either goes kaboom or it wont load.

@Dan

But I can, sir! I have already tried to edit and save this video or upload videos.
