Cined render problems

**uberapa** · January 16, 2008, 08:11 AM

Rendering worked fine on XP but now when I have up(down?)-graded to Vista all I get is a black render. It works if I choose to save the output as tga-files though.

So my questions is if anyone now how to compile the tga pictures to an avi-file or how to make the rendering work when you render directly to an avi-file.

Thanks!

You could at least have looked at the stickied threads... There are some infos and you could've asked there

:

Q: I'm getting black renders when using the render.bat. What is the cause of this and how can I fix it?
A: 1) Does it playback ok in cined? Do you see the frames being rendered ok when you run the render? Keep in mind that the CineEd captures directly from the screen when rendering. Meaning, if you move your mouse cursor over the window while rendering it will capture it. If you have a screen-saver running while rendering, it will capture that too. Make sure you have your screen saver turned off and that you can see the frames rendering ok.
2) Apart from that, there are rumours that the CineEd doesn't work with Vista.
3) And if your PC is too slow to play back the big and uncompressed rendered video files you should try and compress the video first.

About the tgas: you could try and compile the tgas in photoshop (make a gif)... Maybe your video editing program is able to import gifs. Adobe Premiere would be able I think.

Hope it helped...

Well, it looks like D|need answered your question nicely, but I believe this would feel lonely so far from the Tech Help forums. Moved.

Thanks for the help.

The rendering seems to go fine in cined, it looks the same as way it did when I used XP and there it woorked fine... I guess Vista is the problem then.

I will try to make a gif in photoshop and import it to premiere and see if I have any luck.

Finally I found a soultion! To bad it was so simply its just anoying

, the solution was to simply switch from the aero interface to the standard windows interface and rendering works like a charm

ouch, grave-digging in year-old threads^^
mods, this issue is solved, I've answered him elsewhere. It can be closed or merged with the cine-ed thread...
