Ok, so I render 180 frames in Poser as bmp (because it will not render it as a simple AVI). I open them in VirtualDub, all look fine. I set the right frame rate for me. I load an audio file. now I "Save as AVI". the program is writing my movie file. after it finishes, I open the movie file in Windows Media Player. the movie is running, I hear the sound, but I see NOTHING. there is no image. just the sound, and the cursor that shows that the movie is running. what am I doing wrong? :( p.s: is there a way to make the sound (in my case - a small wav file) to repeat itself in loop in VirtualDub?

I am just guessing... Do the files have the incremental sequence numbering as in "0001, 0002, 0003..." or do they have only "1,2,3..." Did you set a codec? What codec are you using? Does the video appear in the "viewpanes"? I don't remember every seeing an option to loop an audio file in VD. <---signature---> Free your Maya Opaque3D http://www.digital-opaque.net

thanks. the images are named 0001, 0002... i couldn't set a codec, because when i went to "Compression", the program crashed...

I posted that also in the Poser forum, btw.

I dont understand why you are using Virtual dub? Can you just import the sound that you are using and use poser for the animation? Dale

hi Dale, Poser will not render this animation for me.. too many lights, too many polygons, too many high-res textures - I suppose.

There is a utility called GSPOT. This will tell you what codecs are needed and provides some info on the video clip.
