Activity Forums Adobe After Effects avi not supported

    Hi,

    I finished a project and I wanted to collect the files so it’s all clean and in one folder. (File > Collect Files)

    But when collecting a certain avi, it always gives me 10 popup boxes one after another saying there was an error and that the avi is not supported.

    And then in the project files, it suddenly displays as missing.
    I double click it and browse to the file, but then it says the avi is not supported and won’t import it!

    But I just used that avi for the entire project and everything!

    Could anyone shed some light on this confusing problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    I don’t know of any such feature on Windows… But for the OP it sounds like maybe the file got corrupted somehow in the copy? Try to manually replace the “collected” file with the original source. If that still doesn’t work, maybe try to re-export that AVI from its source (or reencode it in another program) and do a file replacement within after effects… Not a solution but a possible workaround.

    did you ever get this resolved. I just spent mutltiple hours editing a piece in AE3 and now all of the sudden it doesn’t support avi format. I changed nothing!!! that the hell?
