Tom:

Thanks for your input but I am trying to open the files in Quicktime, not FCE.

I have other files that are not related to this situation as well with the same problem. Someone created a movie file, I have no idea which program they used, but it is as well a HDV 1080i60 Integer (Big Endian) codec and it will not play through Quicktime either. It is a .mov file

There has to be a way to view a file that was compressed into a codec format. At least that would be the conventional thinking.

As a side note, I see that the codec is:

HDV 1080i60, Integer (Big Endian) timecode

If that helps.

I googled the codec, but did not find a download.

Thanks. I had done that as well but when I saved it still gave me the nothing to render error. I have the CS2 version of Illustrator so I thought I would save it in a differnt version format. I saved it as a illustrator 10 format and it worked great.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your reply. I am realy going to show my ineptness with illustrator now. I just never have had a use for vector based graphics.

What I am trying to do is pretty much text based, but just has text layered on each other.

This is what happens.

I open up illustrator. Create a letter with text. For learning purposes, all I am doing is one letter for the time being. I save and try to open up in ProAnimator and the error message is “no usable vector paths in the file” so i am not able to import. I go back to Illustrator and rasterize the text, same error message. I go back and do a live trace, same error message. What am I doing wrong? What do I have to do to make a vector based image that will have usable paths for ProAnimator?

I appoligize for the simplicity of the question as I know there are chuckles from those reading as they think “hit the exit button and back away”. 🙂 I need to learn how to do a vector with usable paths.

Thanks

To be a bit more specific, when I import a illustrator file — an error message appears that says “there were no usable vector paths found in this file”

What do I need to do to make it usable?

Thanks
