Transferring a character animation to iOS

There are only so many ways you can export from Character Animator - as a movie file (with or without transparencies - lots of choices there) and as a sequence of PNG files.  I believe all the Adobe internal file formats are proprietary, so I think they are the only choices you really have. I have not heard of any Adobe runtime for running the internal format on iOS devices (or any other devices) for example.

So the question really is do you want a sequence of separate PNG files, a movie file with transparencies (in Media Encoder filter encoders with the word “alpha”), or a movie file without transparencies. If you need small, I *suspect* a movie file without transparencies with a good encoder will get you the smallest files (you probably need to try fiddling around with the options).
