Cool!

Thanks, Grazie

[Evan b. Peters]

Yes I am! Man, I can’t believe that. They must be working to fix it. I hope…

Thanks Steve

[Evan b. Peters]

Okay, sorry, nevermind.

Right click “Select all”

Only problem was I had multiple masks going, so I had to delete one track, then clone it on top of it and make the second mask on it.

Any way to have multiple masks on one clip, and select all the anchor points of one mask while not selecting the other?

Thank you.

[Evan b. Peters]

Actually, Steve, the problem wasn’t solved there after all.

I remembered that I changed the property settings from 8bit to 32 in the pixel format. I went and put it back to the original 8bit setting and the problem stopped. If it comes back up again for some strange reason, I’ll let you know.

Does that sound more accurate? The pixel format change being the reason?

Thanks.

BTW: you solved a question I had for YEARS with the quantize option. You learn something new every day! Thank you!

[Evan b. Peters]

Okay Steve, I think I figured out what it is.

I think it’s the jpeg on top of the white background that is messing me up. I just turned off the solid color underneath the jpeg and it rendered all the way through in a second flat.

I turned the solid color background back on and it locked up at 1%

Thank you, Steve.

Where is that icon located? I’m having trouble finding it.

Update: I just tried to render one simple, animated lens flare from left to right, changing in size and intensity on a 4 second clip (the lens flare is on a flat Jpeg image on top of a solid color, with floating text underneath).

The render got 66% complete, the “time remaining” timer ran out and then it just sat there building up time for 14 minutes until I cancelled it. It wouldn’t drop out of the render so I had to Ctrl Alt Delete and hard shut down the software.

This is really strange. I feel like my computer should rock this yet it is completely freezing up.

[Evan b. Peters]

Steve, sorry for the delay in posting.

The lens flare I am using is the Sony Lens Flare. When I try to render it it completely locks up and crashes my system (not always, but it will at least never complete rendering).

I am working with H.264 footage from a Panasonic AF100 full 1080p, rendering it out as an Mpeg2. So far, any other thing I’ve rendered (first time rendering any sort of effects besides transitions) has just zipped right along.

What could be the problem, here?

Thanks A LOT for the help.

Evan

[Evan b. Peters]

I don’t think so.

I’m sorry, I’m away from the computer right now.

I believe it’s just a default plugin. I did download some sony 3D text software, I don’t think this is it.

I’ll let you know in my next post.

[Evan b. Peters]

Thanks Mike I just read the paper and will try what they say. Hopefully it works. I still don’t understand why something that has worked in the past suddenly stopped. That makes no sense to me.

If you guys render out a project in 24p as an .avi and watch in in the preview window in DVD Architect does it jitter?

[Evan b. Peters]

Yes I did burn a DVD and the jittering is still there.

I rendered out several different projects of different lengths and they all jittered, so it’s nothing to do with the project length. I really don’t understand why all of a sudden .avi’s would stop working. I scanned for viruses and have none…
