Howdy Folks,

I seem torecall some people have issues with embedded video files in the past. I'mreally struggling right now with what appears to be a simple scene. I'm usingan Alienware laptop from last year with an i7 and 32GB or ram. It's hooked upto a graphics accelerator that is functioning properly with a 1080Ti. My sceneis about 20s long. It’s a 3d logo I made with the front of the logo materialbeing an embedded movie. I just dragged a dropped an MP4 file on the diffuse map.I have 3 planes with embedded movie files (all about 15-20s long as well). Theother assets I have is a single spotlight, a wall as a backdrop and water withzero movement for a floor reflection. I have one camera that moves around andzooms on all the planes. So it's a very simple scene aside from the 3 planeswith videos and logo with a video diffuse surface. While everything looks justfine in iclone, when I render, the planes only render a singe frame with zero movieframes. Only a still from the first frame is used in the plane. I’ve tried changingthe embedded videos from MP4 to MOV, changing videos from 30fps to 60fps and changingiClone from a 30fps render to a 60Fps render and MP4 to uncompressed AVI. StillI have the same issue. I was wondering if any of you have experienced the samething and if there was any workaround? I guess one thing I could try iscompositing the planes with multiple videos, but that is a last resort andreally a PITA. I’d rather find a way for iClone to do its job and render out. Anyhelp is welcome. Thanks!

use wmv...


.

Yeah I'd go that route (however, what I do is use PopVideo -- it ALWAYS works, but it's more money and an extra step).

I think this forum has helped all of us -- I suspect just about everyone here could quote a time or three when it was the only thing that kept us sane and/or working.  We're all in this together.
