Animation Plugin creates invalid video

[GaryStebbins]

I have just started using CC. One of my hopes was that I could generate animations of my models. I'm using CC 2.12 Beta, because I wanted the smooth trajectory option (it looks great).

However, every video file I've created seems to have problems with the video formatting. I have been unable to play anything using Windows Media Player. I have been able to play most files using VLC, although sometimes the playback is a bit jerky and there are lots of artifacts. When I attempt to load any generated file into Adobe Premiere Pro, I get the error "The file has an unsupported compression type."

I installed version CC 2.11.3, and the rendered video file seems to be proper format. It looks like there's a bug in the Animation Plugin in the 2.12 Beta.

Have you tried to change the output codec?

I ran into a similar issue a while ago when I was trying to animate a character model for a project. The exported SWF files looked fine when previewed in-browser or VLC, but totally broke when I tried editing them in Premiere. Artifacts, audio desync, or just flat out refusal to open. What finally worked for me was converting those SWF files into MP4 format before doing any post-processing.

For that part, I’ve had solid results using this tool to convert SWF to MP4. Easy enough for quick fixes and doesn’t mess with the video quality like some others I tried. Check it here:https://www.movavi.com/video-converter/ ... erter.html
