I'm having a problem where twitchy frames are showing up in my render of an animation.


I also have an issue where the animation window is not refreshing when I hit a new scene. I have fixed that by closing teh docked animation window and then opening a new one in it's place then docking it back where it is supposed to be.


Animation set up in Workspace, rendered in Modeler with Lightworks


Pentium P4 2.8 GHz 1G RAM

GeForce 5200 (Latest Driver) 128MB


You can see the twitchy animation here:

Attached is the scene.


Oh, and another problem is that whenever I re-name something in one of the libraries and hit "Enter" my computer switches to another program. For example, if I have TS open and Internet explorer, when I hit "enter" after re-naming something, it switches to IE like I had hit "Alt + TAB"


There was also one time wher the "Model" and "Workspace" tabs disappeared out of nowhere.


Any help would be great!


Thanks,

Ed

To me, twitchy-ness looks like a video compression issue. What codec did you use?


You might want to try outputting the same scene to an un-compressed file and see if it goes away.

I was reporting something similiar to this in the beta forums, I was the only one getting this error. In some odd brotherhood way I am glad to see someone else having the same issues.


I used the CinePak codec and VRay as the renderer. Yours seems like a more extreme version than the one I am experiencing.

I never mentioned what codec I was using. Sorry, it was DivX. Tried it here at work with both DivX and Cinepak. I got the same results with DivX, but Cinepak rendered fine. Guess I need to render our using cinepak or uncompressed.


I usually render out to uncompressed frames and then assemble in Premiere. I just rendered out to avi to make it quicker this time.

I've had similar problems rendering using Divx...if I don't render out to uncompressed, I find that the Xvid codec works pretty good. :)

Not messed with Xvid. Have to check that one out.
