twquick Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Coming back to something I really enjoyed a long time ago. My last foray into AM was with 2005 version. I've created a short animation using Windows Movie Maker. It consists of 13 images with some simple transitions, basically a slideshow. I am using Pazera PS MPEG to AVI converter to get the AVI. I have tried every CODEC available with the converter, but when I attempt import the AVI I just get a dialog box saying "IMPORT NULLOBJECT". What am I doing wrong? Should I be using a particular CODEC? Thanks for any help, glad to be back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted October 6, 2017 Hash Fellow Share Posted October 6, 2017 Welcome back, Terry!If you can export your video to a numbered targa or jpg sequence that will certainly import. In A:M's render settings I see five options for AVI compression settings. I recommend "Full Frames (Uncompressed)" for something you wish to use in A:M. Note that the file size will be huge.

twquick Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 Thanks for the reply Robert. If I were to import the images as Targa files, is there a way to compile them so as each image remains onscreen for 45 frames or so before going to the next image?

twquick Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 That is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted October 10, 2017 Admin Share Posted October 10, 2017 That is a very thorough video. Thanks Robert!. I learned something there... and I thought I knew everything there was to know about that area of A:M. I don't think I've ever used the image properties 'Speed' value.
