Yeah, I’m sorry. Shorter is what I meant. My mistake.
Whilst putting together an example so I could get a screen shot, I realised that it works fine with .wmv format. I’ve been rendering it into .wmv, too. It’s .avi that I have a problem with, it seems. That’s what doesn’t work, and then when I tried to render the events into .avi format, I still found the same problem. The screen goes black in the place where the sped up clip should be. I went on and experimented a little to find out exactly where the problem lies, (which I should have done before posting the original post, I know). I found that even if I have no accompanying events, a clip will not render (well, it will render, but when you watch it, the sped up clips just aren’t there. The screen just goes black in those places). Whether or not there are other clips is irrelevant (sorry for the confusion). Um… hope that makes sense. Here’s my rant in clearer form:
-Any clip, accompanied or not, will not render if it is above 1.1(ish) playback rate.
-.wmv format clips are fine, they work ok.
-.avi format clips will not render (the majority of the footage I use is in this format).
-I usually render it into .wmv format, though the same problems occur if I render them into .avi.
Hope that makes sense.
