Caroline Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Hi, Eric - your movie file seems to need a codec that I haven't got - how did you render it? Irfanview managed half of it before giving up the ghost, and the walk cycle looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candimeg Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Hi, I'm new to A:M - I've been working with the software since November, and I LOVE it! I've completed the first 7 Chapters - I'll try and post them so you can see Darn, can't figure out how to upload the .avi files. I'll keep trying.

candimeg Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 So I figured out that you had to convert .avi's to .mov's to get them to upload - here are the next 4 assignments, and a couple others thrown in that I've been playing with. cancan.mov knightpitching.mov rabbitwalk.mov shaggydoor.mov KeeKatSpeaks.mov buckinghorse.mov Eddietrash.mov But now I have a problem. Now that I got KeeKat to speak, I want to practice on other models but everytime I install a new sound and try to associate it, A:M freezes up. I was able to get one .wav file attached, but could not get the mouth to move. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted January 27, 2007 Author Admin Share Posted January 27, 2007 Robin, Wow. First let me say when you catch up... your REALLY catch up! It'll take me a little while to look through. But now I have a problem. Now that I got KeeKat to speak, I want to practice on other models but everytime I install a new sound and try to associate it, A:M freezes up. I was able to get one .wav file attached, but could not get the mouth to move. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We're going to need a little more information. It might help to know which models you are using... keep in mind not all models have phonemes set up for lipsync. TaoA:M will guide you through that too. A:M locking up on you... not sure. Recommend closing A:M and restarting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recommend closing A:M and restarting. Hi Rodney, Thanks, I hope you like them. I can't believe how much fun this software is! I can't wait to learn it all so I can start teaching my students. A big oops, I didn't realize that all the models didn't have lipsync phonemes. I was trying to use the Pilot and the Announcer from the Extra's CD and I think I even tried Eddie once. As for the locking up, I've done as you suggested (restarting the program). I've even rebooted on several occasions but pretty much every wav file I've installed and tried to drag over to an action still freezes A:M. I thought at first the file I was using was corrupted, but when it happened with 3 or 4 I began to doubt that, especially since I was getting them from different sources - even creating them myself. Maybe I'm just not installing the wav files correctly into A:M. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptahhotep Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I just finished with Exercise #2 the chorus line CanCan But when I tried to upload it I got this message: "Upload failed. You are not permitted to upload this type of file" Do I have to instead provide a link to the finished piece? How do I accomplish this? Thanks for the assist anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not permitted to upload this type of file" What kind of file did you try to upload ? .mov (quicktime movie) is the usual format - compressed There also may be a size limitation - but I'm not sure what that would be.

itsjustme Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Its an .avi file at 504 kb. How do I upload it to show it to others for feedback? I think you will have to Zip up an AVI file...I know that Quicktime files can be posted as-is because the extension is recognized by the forum software. Hope that helps.

Caroline Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 When you render, make sure the Advanced options are ticked, then you can choose Quicktime Movie from a drop down list. That's not all, though, because even .mov formats can be huge. Click the properties triangle next to the word Format, and click Set. Then choose Sorenson Video 3 from the drop down. There's a bunch of other options you can set for Sorenson - I think I just leave mine on the defaults though, with Medium Quality. You can then just upload your .mov file using the forum browse > upload option, as long as it's under the forum limit 2mb? 4mb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playerktw Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 One down, having trouble with exercise 2 though. Can't get the animation to render properly, it's choppy and go to black in spots.

So I resave the file as a Quicktime extension? If so, then do I go to the attachments area in the forums reply option and upload it there? What you can do is save the .avi file from within A:M by importing it into your images folder by right clicking the images folder and selecting "import animation..." Then you can right click on the movie file and select "Save As.." from the dialog you select the image type to quicktime then click on the "Compression" button. That will give you a sizable list of compression formats. Select "Sorensen 3" and set the quality to medium or so. That will give you a good rendered output with a fairly small file size, depending on how many frames you rendered and if "Alpha" was on during rendering. You should be able to upload that here without too much difficulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
