Hi... The German version of iClone 7 has not been updated to version 7.3 yet. This should be available a little later in October.

I think you may be mistaken about AVI renders.

I just tested AVI export and this appears working fine for me.

A 10 second project (600 frames) rendered @ 30fps was still 10 seconds long when played back.
A 10 second project (600 frames) rendered @ 25fps was still 10 seconds long when played back.

Is anyone else having problems with AVI rendering (not sequence image rendering)?

I got the same result .... (10 seconds for both 30fps and 25fps).

Please be patient with me ..... I don't always 'get it' the first time 'round - not even the 2nd time!   - yikes! ...

AVI export works as expected. Though the progress bar does not show the correct percentage (but I think it never worked right).
For 30fps of image sequence you may need to delete all even frames to make it right (until it is fixed). For other fps it's a bit trickier.

@ Peter, Sonic7 & 4u2ges
Thanx for testing...
Since the list with issues seems to grow i will wait for a satisfying patch


Toystorylab on Vimeo :     Crassitudes (my "Alter Ego") on Youtube: 

The project frame rate is always 60 fps, so 240 frames in the project is 4 seconds; no problem there. The render frame rate should adjust the number of frames that are rendered: for example, 96 at 24 fps; 100 at 25 fps; and 120 at 30 fps. It seems that RL left that conversion part out for some reason.

What I don't understand is why existing functionality is suddenly bugged. The need for regression testing has been mentioned repeatedly, and RL should seriously consider that. A new release should be a joyous occasion but is now soured by the fact that existing functionality no longer works as expected. I'd rather have a release that's two weeks later to allow time for regression testing.

In Vegas (and I guess in other NLEs) you can adjust the playback speed, but you still waste time by having to render double (or more) the number of frames.

That puzzles me too.
a) WHY were they in that part of the code in the first place?
b) If they were knowingly editing that code, then they should have tested it thoroughly
c) If they unknowingly edited that code, then they have a completely different, very serious problem
d) I don't understand why Peter(RL) doesn't seem to see the problem everyone else is.  It's not just the "duration" but the number of frames that make up the clip.

Yeah -- let's get this straight, folks, for some who lack a BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF ANIMATION.

FPS is the frames per second that are rendered and are shown on the screen.  You render at 24FPS means YOU GET 24FRAMES RENDERED FOR EACH SECOND OF ANIMATION.  I don't know how this isn't any clearer, but apparently some folks just aren't animators.

So if you render 240 frames, you should get 10 seconds at 24fps.  There isn't any if ands or butts about this.  Rendering 240 frames and getting 4 seconds of animation at 24fps is wrong, plain and simple (that is 60fps, no matter how you slice it).

I may be wrong about a lot of things, but I absolutely am not wrong about this.  Folks who think otherwise are.
