After effects
Hi
I have a small text animation and it works fine until I add music to it and then on redering at the same point every time in responds with “unspecified error with directshow or avi”. It is sometimes cleared on restarting AFX 6.51 but not always.
Any suggestions I am using XP PRO SP 2.0

Well, I’ve never thought Service Pack 2 was a good idea and I blame everything XP does wrong with anyone’s computer on SP2, but I don’t think that it’s neccasarily the culprit on this occasion.
But we need a bit more info first. What format is your music file in? What format are you rendering into? etc.– The Great Szalam

Hi,
Ok the music is a Wav file created from Smartsound Quick Tracks and I am converting the finished project to an uncompressed lossless AVI sometimes with alpha sometimes not. Please note if I convert the music to an AVI first then no problems I just use the AVI music on the AFX time line instead of the wav file and everything renders OK. Also as I said it doesn’t happen every time but when it does it always crashes at the same point on the time line (well nearly always!). No there is nothing that ususally changes at that point; it can happen with just and AVI background and music added. I can’t tell you how frustrating it is because I use AFX in every project and if I forget the workaround the cat moves real quick!!
Regards
Steve
