That’s an OpenGL issue that should be fixed by getting the latest drivers from your video card manufacturer’s website.

Gina — I’m not understanding the issue. There’s no reason why one channel (blue) wouldn’t be included in the image. It has to be some setting in combustion causing this.
Try loading the pI3-rendered image back into pI3 as a background image so you can check that the alpha channel is correct.
The only other thing I can suggest is to send one of the problem images to me at support at wondertouch dot com and I’ll take a look.

Don’t use layers in your image file, just name the images as a sequence ending with a number. For instance:
image0001.png, image0002.png, image0003.png

Not sure what you mean by “blank screen”, but try deleting your preferences file. It’s:
/ Library / Prefrences / pIllusion3.prefs After you delete that file pI3 should work fine.

Make sure you’re using the latest version (3.0.3 on Windows), 3.0.6 on Mac.

Open the Project Settings dialog and look at the framerate. If it’s not 30.00, some emitters may not show and you’ll need to tweak the “number” property for these. There are typically just a few emitters in any one library (at most) that do this though — most are not very sensitive to different framerates.
1/2 not working? Very unusual.

ok, are you sure you have the Cineform codec installed? On a machine that doesn’t, I get the same errors you do. On a machine that has a demo version of the codec installed, it works fine in pI3.

Got it, and we’re checking into it.
Use ANY codec you can — DivX, xvid, Lagarith at the square pixel equivalent size (since particleIllusion works with square pixels only).
You’ll be using the video in pIllusion as reference only, and will then want to render just the particles with an alpha channel, and composite onto original video in Vegas.
