Rendering Video in AFX causes all .avi files to go to black or green
Hi all …. this is a strange one indeed.
Rendering in AFX CS3 using Keylight and a garbage matte. Select RGB with Alpha using windows lossless.
When opening the video (post render) … the audio is there, but the video is totally black. And now the strange part … ALL other avi video on the computer now either black (with audio) or green (with audio).
Machine is Vista 64bit SP1 … windows media player 11 …i7 core/12gb ram/2 X 1TB drives/Radeon 3650 512mb card. All service packs are up to date. Running regsvr32 quartz.dll and restarting the computer allows me to view .avi’s correctly again, but as soon as I do another render, the same thing happens.
I’ve been using AFX on the PC and Mac since V.5 … never run into this before.
Anyone have this issue in the past … any ideas??
Thanks in advance for any help…

hi
I have some of the same problem but in AF CS4.
Its a HD clip with wire removal, and when I render the clip it turns either black or in my case blue.
Its like the red color is gone.I have rendered the clip before but on a nother pc than the one Im working with now. also had one clip that fail and turned black then, but the problem mysteriously disappered by it self.
now when I try to render they all turn blue.
and I cant have a blue bachelor video:)

I figured it out!
its the media player VLC that makes my videos blue. I tryed to play it in Windows Media Player classic and then it was normal again.
mayby you can try that to?

Hi … thanks for the response.
I ended up removing FFDShow from the system. I didn’t have VLC or GOM installed.
I also changed the video back to 29.97 frames when outputting from After Effects. It had somehow chosen a 30 fps marker.
Once I did that, .. and then rendered out the video … it shows up correctly again (very strange) in Media Player. I did come across a posting in the forum suggesting to change to 29.97.
I’ve been too busy rendering out a large amount of clips (chromakeying) to post back my findings (sorry)… I lost about a day trying to figure out what the problem was.
To be honest … I’m still not totally sure what it was, because I did have FFDShow running previously, and my After Effects renders were fine. So all in all, I still consider this as “unsolved” from my end … and hope it doesn’t happen again any time soon (at least not when I have a deadline).
Thanks again for your reply…. 🙂

Oh good!
you also solved it:)
I also removed FFDShow before I tested it in Windows Media Player.
Have to say I am surprised that I solved it because Im quite new at this. started working with Adobe premiere and after effects about one and a half month ago for the first time.
And I know how it is with deadlines. I have my vernisage on friday at 17.00 🙂
best
