Postby RavageXavier » Thu Feb 21, 2008 10:07 am Whenever I try importing avi files into after effects 7 standard, AE issues an error message saying: After Effects error:retrieving frame from video stream. (3) (53::34). Is there a way to successfully import the files into AE without converting them?. I mean converting is too much of a hassle, and the output isnt what you hoped for. I'm hoping there is a way to solve this problem. The avi files are Xvid, or so Gspot says. Also I have installed K-lite codec pak's ffdshow.

I tryed xvid official decoder but it only made things worse... but when I tryed ffdshow (it comes with a kinda hidden VFW version for almost all codecs it has) it worked.

This may happen with DiVX and a few other such formats. RAM preview will only display frames according to - umm - how much RAM you have. So 2-3 seconds must mean you don't have that much. You can preview longer ranges by setting the comp resolution to half or lower, however.

При просчете (нажатии ins) после этого сообщения появляется AE error: RAM preview needs 2 or more frames to playback. В сиквенции слоями лежат: подложка (*.avi ужатый XviD), несколько слоев с альфо-каналом и эфектами, текст. Проект я использую переодически - перебиваю текст. Раньше он работал нормально. Когда отключаю слой с подложкой ошибка не появляется.
