How do you guys play animated GIF files on Anime Studio Pro? Do you convert them to AVI formats first? Any suggestions on good free converters?

Now the video plays but there is no sound....

I have an avi video I would like to add to my project.... I select the import movie option and it imports but all I see is a white square and nothing plays. I looked in the manual and I cant find anything to solve this problem...


Any suggestions?

I think that I figured it out... The preview screen on Virtualdub is not accurate.... It showed the screen as being split, but when you save it, its ok.... I suggest that you put a warning on Anime Studio that goes as follows: "Many of the rendered videos may need to be repaired by Virtualdub. ...

I think it might have something to do with mixing files between debut and pro.... I am rendering a test file right now that has only been opened by pro.... If that works I will waste a few hours re-creating my characters and scenes in pro and see If that works..... If it does, you may want to tell p...

The file is corrupt and wont open... When I use VirtualDub it opens the file but the screen is split in half..... When I first installed the software, it would render just fine... However, the last four or five times I have tried it does what I said before... I have tried it on multiple productions,...

I cannot render to .AVI using Anime Studio Pro. I had debut and it would render files, but when I make them on Pro, it does not.

I see another person has this problem as well.

All this time and money wasted!!!

I have had this happen to me once when I over loaded my CPU. I managed to fix it with Virtualdub. Its freeware if you do not already have it. Import the AVI into VirtualDub and hopefully you will get these popups. Then save it as a different name. It worked for me when I got the split screen like y...

I dont know if its the installation because I tried exporting from Debut and Pro... Neither worked.

I will try re-installing and exporting from Pro tomorrow because the entire process takes about four hours...

I'm so close to finishing my very first animation...... Arrgh!!!

I tried exporting half the file and VLC player crashes when its played while Realplayer just shows a black screen..... I went from bad to worse... I tried saving it in MP4 as well a AVI..... Does anyone think it may be a codec problem or hardware problem? I don't want to put a new operating system o...

I cant seem to get that program to work. I will try exporting the video in another format.

All things were going good exporting my animations until recently. I start my exporting on frame 336 (I exported the frames before that with no problems separately) and it ends on frame 3864. While it is being exported it looks normal on the preview screen but when it is finished it is split into fo...

actually it doesnt have to be on a seperate layer - if you fill the arms as seperate fills to the body they will have their own position in the stack so that they can be placed above or below the body (although shape order can not be animated, it's fixed.) - This problem only occurs when a shape ov...

Sorry that I only come on here when I have a problem, but I just dont think I know enough about animation to carry on a legitimate conversation.... Thanks for helping me with my floating eye problem before.... Anyways, if its not one thing its another. I sent a link for another video that shows when...

jonbo was right, problem solved.... He was the first person to supply the right answer so he wins!!!
