Playblasts avi Keeps Coming up as broken or missing index.

[Anonymous]

Hey everyone,

I have been having this issue where when I try to playblast my animation, the playblast comes out with a broken or missing index error message. In VLC Media Player, it is possible to temporarily fix the issue, but I am not able to place the file into another editing software like After Effects, because it says the file is corrupted. I would also say the process of running the playblast is slower than usual, but I don't know if that matters or not to the issue.

I appreciate any help! Thank you so much!

Sup my guy. File's too big. It's an issue with avis especially if you increased the quality of the playblast. You could either convert it to an mp4 through adobe media encoder, reduced the quality of you playblast in the playblast settings, or reduced the number of frames you're playblasting.

Ahhh I had a feeling that might have been it. Thank you I really appreciate it! I tossed it into media encoder, works fine now. Thank you again!
