Problems - Movie Publish

Hi!

Recently I exported serveral Movies - everything went perfect.

Now, for some reason, it does not work anymore. Showcase seems to be exporting the movie, but no files appear. I tried different settings, differnt shots, different slides with different bahaviour. There is always this message at the bottom like:

Cannot save shot thumbnail - Parameter "keyframe" missing.

Every slide, shot, behaviour works fine when I test it without exporting it. I also deleted the not necessary behaviours or shots to simplify my scene, but that does no help.
I upgraded Showcase 2013 64bit to SP4 but that does not help.

Any suggestions to solve this problem?

Thanks for help!

For me was the graphic driver.

Try to check version and compatibility.

after some lengthy experimentation it seems that *.avi file format is the most volatile. Mpeg 4 provides a more stable product. You were right about the fade from black, removing the effect fixed the inverted colour issue.

I had tried opening the file in windows media player as well as vlc player. avi files led to p[layers crashing before completing playback.

Thanks for the help, i now have published movies that I can use.

i often use .mov (quicktime) format actually.
.avi gives problems, expecially opening the files with vlc. win. mediaplayer, for example, didn't give me the "negativo" effect, while vlc did.

problem with mov is that not all editors can use them as source..

vlc also open them with no particular problem.

Cikho is right. I always use the Qicktime format.

Has a better quality.

The problem with the avi format is the codec that is used.

if you want an avi format, the better is to export the image sequence and then to create the movie with a movie software (like after effect, but you can find som free sw in the web). So you can create the avi with the codec you want.

HI, I noticed that a lot of people try to export very lenghtly videos (more than 5min) in one shot.. well if you do the calculation: 24 frames per seconds, that means you need to render: 7200 images.. maybe each image need 1m30 sec to render that means you will need 180hrs to render your animation.. no wonder it gets corrupted or doesn't have enough time to render.. always do your time calculation before you press the render button.. and if you have a 5min presentation, you will definitely need to render each slide individually to help manage the time and the possible errors. I always render either in .mov or .mp4. I NEVER render .avi

Also, have a look at this previous post to understand the quality settings I am using to output my videos:http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/General/Saving-Video/td-p/4263698
