I could not find the solution in the forum archives. I have TS 6. I'm trying to use avi files for textures. The avi files were rendered in Vegas 5. When I try to use them as texture maps, TS is showing "File format not supported". What do I need to do to rectify the problem? Thanks for the help. :banana:

Well, you can use AVI files as textures so I think the clue is in your error message - the file format of your AVI is the problem. There could well be some problems if you are using one of the more esoteric CODECs or frame size for the AVI though (some CODECs like only certain frame sizes - usually a multiple of 8).


Also, MPG and MOV are problematic for textures and best avoided.
