Project too big! :(

Hi, I have a project that's about 13 megabytes.
Are there any ways for me to get under the ten megabyte rule without sabotaging the project? (It's giant).

Re: Project too big! :(

Do you have a lot of audio? Removing sounds is the easiest way to quickly cut down on size, and I figure you must have quite a bit if your project is 13mb.

Yeah, I have quite a lot actually.  smile
Would saving it in a different format help reduce size?

Thanks for the quick reply.  big_smile

Re: Project too big! :(

Upon clicking the edit button at the top, there's a selection that says "Compress Sounds..."  Click that and set it to low.  If it's still too big, set it to lowest.  The audio won't sound great at lowest, but it won't be too bad.  At low it should be fine though.


I'm back, and showcasing two new* projects!  Click left or right on the image below to see!

Okay, wait, spoke too soon. I compressed it a little too much and now it's a little too compressed.  sad
Is there a way to get it back?  sad

Can't get it back. You'll have to delete the old and re-import it into Scratch (see this FAQ)

Re: Project too big! :(

You could compress the images and sounds less so it won't be as bad. Could I have a link to the project please?
