  • AVI Export Problems

    Posted by Dirk d. Lopez on August 5, 2010 at 11:15 pm

    Last year on my MAC I was able to export from my AFX timeline straight to AVI. Now the option is no longer available. All that has changed is me cloning over my previous machine onto a faster newer MAC.

    How can I export to AVI without going through Quicktime Player (because it’s not yielding the results I want). I have to export my animation from AFX in order to play it on a specific machine for a client.

    Thanks for the help!

    Unless you’re using a version of AE in which Adobe removed AVI support, which I seriously doubt, it’s probably that you didn’t install any AVI codecs when you “clon[ed] over my previous machine onto a faster newer MAC”. Try downloading and installing a codec that can be wrapped in an AVI file.

    Thanks for the reply.

    So where can I download the AVI codec?

    I would consider being able to export to an AVI to be a pretty standard option say like having FLV and WMV options. What the heck.

    I don’t know off-hand where to download the codec you want, but I’m sure a Google search will offer many options. Perhaps you have one installed, but it’s damaged and needs to be re-installed. It’s not really an AE issue … even though AE supports the formats, you would not be able to render to the FLV or WMV formats either if corresponding codecs weren’t installed on your machine.
