Open GL crash question

Posted by Mark Dalzell on October 24, 2008 at 9:15 pm

I just got an error message regarding OpenGL. I was wondering if I need to make any adjustments in AE/CS3. I’ve never edited HDV with AE so please excuse my ignorance.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards.

Dave,

Thanks for your timely reply. I will disable all OpenGL in AE as you suggested.

For the second part, what codec(s) do you recommend and where can I get them?

Again, my thanks for your help.

Best.

Dave,

So are you saying I need to get a Quicktime animation codec for Windows? Or a Lossless AVI?

I’m not quite sure what codec my PC needs to convert the files so they would work in AE.

Thanks.

if you can’t go lossless or uncompressed, and if you have quicktime installed on you system, quicktime photojpeg is a good free option. i would think that a quality of 75 or so would have little loss for hdv footage…

Dave,

I own QT Pro.

I’ll check with some PC AE users to see about codecs.

Thanks.

Hi

I have a suggestion for a good, free, lossless codec that makes your rendered files much smaller than the animation codec.

I have learned this from one of the tutorials of Aharon Rabinowitz.

It is called Techsmith codec. If you download Camtasia studio5 , the trial version , from http://www.camtasia.com and install Camtasia to your PC the codec ges installed in all you editing applications.

Now open AE, and at the render settings select, quicktime, than at the quicktime settings select the techsmith codec.

I render my videos using this codec .

Hope it helps you too.

P.S I have the ame problem with my open GL , I work with it off.
