I've never posted here before, and hate to ask, but I have a question regarding animation tutorials.
I have started learning to make animated icons and found some great tutorials to help me do so and was able to make this: (it's the first one so I'm not too concerned about it looking good.)

I was wondering if there were tutorials that explained different aspects of animated icons. Like the best way to make them LJ safe without losing quality, the best way to save your icon so it doesn't slow down (the icon runs much smoother in ImageReady), really just sort of an idiots guide to using ImageReady. Like, what everything does and different techniques. I am more familiar with Photoshop, but would like to learn the basics of animated icons in ImageReady.
So yeah, I've found plenty of good mini movie tutorials but I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of an in-depth one. It would be much appreciated as I am new to ImageReady.
