Heya!

I am trying to export a movie to a .avi format, however I am just getting a black box when I view the avi movie. I have tried full frame processing (no vid compression) but then all I get is a huge file with the same result. The movie uses almost no action script except for a Stop at the end because I do not want it to loop. Any ideas what could be the problems when exporting the movie? It contains movie clips embeded in it, but when I export it to a .swf format it looks fine.

Cheers!

Got it working sort of. I exported it to a quicktime format which looked ok, and Premire can import quicktime so that will work fine. Having a bit of problem with the framerate, but I think the problem lies within quicktime, so off to apple to read up on that. =)

Cheers!
