Subject: [IML] quest:edimator
I made a nice 400 frame anim. created as 800 x 600 targa's. I ran it
through After Effects to reduce it to 640 x 480, saved it out as BMP'S. The
Edimator via transedit says that there is an error loading the files, but
the next line says it ain't got no error.(???_)
Any suggestions anyone?
help
please

Hi
Have I understand you correct? You have tried to import this animation with
the 800x600 in Edimator?
AFAIK the Edmiator has a limit on 640x480(512 for PAL?).
Sorry if I am wrong, or if I have understand you wrong.

No, I used Adobe After Effects to reduce each 800x600 targa to a 640x480
bmp, also tried 640v480 targa's, but I get the same result... requester
comes up says it can't load the clip, but there are NO errors...

Not sure why you would save in that bmp format, rarely used in video.
Trying saving the collected 640-480 frames as an uncompressed AVI and then
importing.

OK, I'll try that, don't normally like AVI but uncompressed I'll try.
Thanks...

The problem is you aren't loading a clip - you're trying to load a bunch of
separate bitmap files as a clip. A clip is one file, not several files at
once, hence, try saving as an uncompressed AVI and then import as I noted
yesterday.

I load TIFs into the edimator all the time. You just load the first one
and it loads all the rest in sequence to get the whole clip (automagically
incrementing the frame number in the name for each file). But, I'm jumping
into the conversation. I may have missed something here.

I wanted to thank everyone that responded to my problems, with some of
the info I got I found that the Ami was Green because my 2 meg 'megachip'
Agnus needed to be reset, what a pain, well buried under the Pwr Sup.
But now she's perking right along.
As to the Edimator problem, I have an IBM Ultra Scsi II 4.3 gig drive on
it. The drive tends to get Branding Iron HOT, and shuts itself off. Letting
the beastie cool proved to be the defining moment.
Now I don't think its supposed to get that HOT, but then I rarily turn
off the machine, or hardly any of them.
So now I will find out more about the drive, then probably screem,
holler, jump up and down and foam at the mounth to the manufacturer. (This
is the second HD in the last month to die, well ok, so the IBM aint dead,
just preparing to live in hell)
So again I thank one and all for your invaluable and timely assitance,
it helped me not to pull out my hair, not that I couldn't spare some.
