  AE error: Retrieving frame from video screen and Open Gl pbuffer not available.

  Posted by Adele Carboni on October 10, 2005 at 8:49 pm

  Hi, I’m working on a 35 second comp. When I do ram preview it stops at 28seconds. The error message is AE error: retrieving frame from video screen if using either 3d modes or open gl pbuffer not available if using open gl. I can render a movie OK it is just the preview.

  I have two gigs of ram and a radeon xl 850 video card.

  Does anyone know what the errors mean and what the solution to this is?

  I appreciate any help,
  Adele

  I’ve had this when using uncompressed .avi’s as my source.. Usually if I purge the image cache then re-render the preview it’s fine.. OR use quicktime/TGA sources instead.

  Cheers,
  Andy
