[BIFFtheSTIFF]

I'm having a real hard time exporting a project i did with adobe to avi.....the project video is complete and when i go to file > export > movie and input the settings i want it to save as avi and which codec etc,,, i press ok and the render box appears givin me how much time as went by, but it doesnt render anything it just says on frame 1, how do i export to avi? am i doin something wrong? please explain. thanks

Video input format?
Project settings?


Is this a DV AVI export? If not what?
Did you let it finish?

[BIFFtheSTIFF]

this is for exporting to a microsoft avi video....i let it run for 40minutes, the projec it self is only a minute long. for 40 min no rendering was happening it just kept countin but no actual rendering.

[edDV]

Three formats to understand

source format
project format
export format

If they differ you can be in for long, sometimes destructive renders.

What kind of avi?

uncompressed? Huffyuv? DV?

"File" - "Export Timeline" - "Movie"
Then choose codec in "settings" <---- MSDV is in there

[BIFFtheSTIFF]

i chose the settings using divx codec, the audio is uncompressed, its supposed to be as a microsoft avi vid with divx compression. when i go to file there is no "export timeline" just export....do i have to do something first b4 i go to export?

Did you render the timeline?

You never ident the source file or project format.
Try a preview and see if it plays.
Try saving in the project format first.

the video plays, its saved as .prproj......now the video plays, its a music video by the way....now how do i render the timeline? what do i do after that.....the project i saved but how do i make it to an avi...what are the steps i need to follow?

It would be under export movie settings (video) under movie under export. If not just save the timeline to your project format or uncompressed and open in a divx encoder.

For example: Export it to Huffyuv, then encode that to divx in virtualdub.

Mine has the divx codec in the settings codec list. You may need to install the divx codec first.
