Activity Forums Zaxwerks Black Screen issues during preview

  • Black Screen issues during preview

    Posted by Evan Seccombe on January 19, 2006 at 7:02 am

    So all of a sudden zaxwerks cant be previewed in AE when i switch the quality swatch to Best. Draft works, and renders just fine. but switching to Best just brings up a black screen, and i cant even test the render within Zaxwerks itself.

    Hi FireBert,

    Here’s a totally off the wall guess.

    Take a look at the Invig check box for use comp lights. If it’s checked and you don’t have any comp lights, because you’re trying to use Invig’s own lights, you might get the black screen effect in best quality rendering.

    Does this help?
