default Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 This is what I get if I don't use an uncompressed .avi file. I made one and verified it worked Alan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattBrown Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Yes, the movie effect can only use uncompressed AVI at 20 frames per second. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indi Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 What software are people using to convert videos to an avi file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
default Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 indi, I use a suite of programs called AVS4YOU. The suite comes with Video Editor, Video Converter, Audio Editor, Audio Converter and other programs. I use the Video and Audio stuff alot. I also have Adobe Premier but it cost more. A link to the AVS4YOU is here, http://www.avs4you.com/index.aspx from what I read it is shareware that is fully useable, but will put watermarks on videos until you purchase it. At least you can download the demo version and see it if fits your needs. Alan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indi Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Thanks for the reply. I was looking to buy a program on a CD. My internet connect is hit and miss at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBrown Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Also a free download (sorry, not a CD), is VirtualDub. I recommend the "all-in-one" version which can handle more file types than the base version. It can be found here: http://www.videohelp.com/software/Virtualdub-AIO Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmienLightFan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 VirtualDub is good. I have used it. Less and less software comes on a CD all the time. Also VLC media player can convert video. I use Adobe After Effects to create and render all my video effects. It is really good and I can create whole sequences. Before I got Pro I used XLights for video and had to convert it to thousands of JPEGs. I used FFMPEG to do it. FFMPEG can convert video. It needs to be downloaded but is very small. I think that VirtualDub uses it. It is a command line application though, so a little complicated at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMASTER82 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I tried using Virtual dub to make an animated gif. So I have the GIF file and the audio file. When I open pixel editor and add the GIF to the entire length of the sequence the audio plays at the correct speed but the video is behind to where they don't line up. Is there something I am doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBrown Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Animated GIFs are good for short animations, but their timing may not be exact. You should be able to create an uncompressed AVI file with Virtual Dub. Then you can use that AVI file in a movie effect and have more accurate timing.
