    This is just bizarre. I created a project last night and AE was perfectly cool with avi’s. I changed nothing that I am aware of. Could it be a codec issue? if so, where do i start? I even reinstalled the program hoping something would default back to what it was. Sucks that hours of work are undone. fortunately didnt lose anything, just the actual edits, transitions, etc.. HELP, please? Im not a complete newbie but this one is beyond my level. thanks to anyone who can help.

    Okay, guess Im going to answer my own question. I downloaded the directshow mpeg4 codec and it fixed the problem. totally a fluke that i tried that but it miraculously worked! in case someone else has this problem, mibht be worth knowing about!
