Why not?
My animation stops at frame 114 (that is in project settings) and when I try to export it in .avi the animations stops at either 4 seconds or 3 seconds. When I export I have the following:

Start Frame:1 End Frame:114

Boxes checked:
Anti aliased edges
Apply Shape Effects
Apply Layer Effects
Extra-Smooth Images



I need this in .avi so I can put it and other animations into Windows Movie Maker. Help me, pretty please.

Well, 4 seconds at 30 frames per second is just about spot on to the number of frames you have so I'm not sure what your problem is.

In your settings what is your frame rate?

24 frames per second. I know this isn't working because a movement is made in the lost seconds.

My animation is a first scene in a short movie so a majority of the time nothing moves as the music plays (there is no music in the scene if that matters). Then the character is introduced and well when I export it he isn't introduced. Maybe he is shy?

Well, 114 frames at 24 frames per second is just a touch over 4 seconds, so I can't imagine you are losing more than a half a second or so.

But just because you export 114 frames doesn't mean your animation is set for 114 frames. Go into settings and change it to 150 frames total, and then export 150 frames and see what it looks like then.

Once again I am stuck...
It appears the frame rate was about halved... My animation is defiantly at 24 frames per second and the action happens on the 96th frame. When I exported the action happened after the 8 second mark. In fact windows media player only showed 6 seconds on the progress bar while the animation continued.

I exported it at Full Frames Uncompressed for .avi and I think that may be the problem (It's for a school project so I don't mind loading). Too big of a file? How do I properly export an 720x540 animation? I've been searching the forums for a tutorial but so far no luck...

Full frames at 720x540 is like having a sting of bitmapped pictures. Hope you gots lots of memory. Use a codec, any codec.

It seems the problem is not in the exporting, but in the playback of the video. If you can watch it frame by frame, you should see everything. Try to export the same scene with a decent codec (like MPEG-4) or export it in half dimensions. A good indicator is the file size of the exported video. In MPEG-4 with medium quality it shouldn't be bigger than 1 MB (just tested).

Thanks! That helped. I'll have to play around though seeing as my scene is 6.24 mb.
