Codec incompatible with video size selected? ERROR
-
Sam, I have not commented so far as your profile says you run a Mac but this clearly shows a Windows system. Are you getting this error when trying to export to a video format or have you also tried with image sequence (in which case no codec is needed - well, "normally")

Hi Gai,
Sorry - my signature has two systems on it. 1. PC, 2. Mac - have pretty much moved completely to PC now so will amend my signature.
Yeah have tried exporting a 2d jpg and no probs - any size available. Unfortunately have had to uninstall now as I need to get this resloved but have just had the same issue occur on a colleagues machine?
Would like not to have to completely uninstall on all machines in the studio that would be great...
Any thoughts on this much appreciated

What I meant was to export the animation to a series of stills (jpg or png). Just select the suitable file format in the animation export window. Then you can put the whole thing together in any video editor.
I know it's just a "workaround" for the time being but you may be at lest export what you need to. Just make sure to export the images into a separate folder (they can easily "populate" your desktop)

Sorry Gai - thats what Ive actually been trying to do. Export jpg or tif files to use in a printed document. In my screen shots jpg has been selected as the output format. Im not trying to make an animation just using the 'animation export' to allow me to export every scene (without transitions) as a jpg. So if I have 10 scenes I get 10 jpgs or tifs to use in indesign.
Have tried this with the avi export to to see if it will work as a self contained animation but still no dice - same error message!

Sorry but then I am completely stumped. IMO if on exports to image sequence, the codecs should not even be involved at all.
I can move the topic to the SU bugs subforum (not that I would hope that anyone will look into it in these days of moving SU from Google to Trimble though)
-
Yup - figured that would probably be the case.
Thanks tho Gai
-
Just hope a reinstall will sort it out - will post back once I have some news.
-
SU pro trial reinstalled, no plugins loaded and still no joy. Same error persists.
-
I also consider it must be a bug. I have never seen anything like that before.
I guess you'll have to manually export each image.

Hi Gai,
Are you able to move this to the bug forum just in case someone is inclined to look at it?
Thanks -
Not sure how old this thread is but I've just encountered the exact same problem on a brand new (clean install) windows 8 machine.
Should also note that the problem is specific to that computer, it renders fine on others.

Hi Macker,
Cant remember exactly how I resolved it but have just checked my settings in export animation. I think I simply changed the codec to Microsoft Video 1 - thats what I have it set on now and am able to export. Try a few different codecs but that one works for me....
although not sure this is best quality?
Cheers -
YES!! In the save animation dialog box you need to change to .avi format, than in settings change the codec to microsoft Viedo 1, set resolution, close settings box, change to format You desire e.g. .jpeg and VOILA...

Hi guys, me to i did encounter this thing on fresh SU8. my solution was to switch settings back to .avi change codec to full frames uncompressed, than changed back to .jpg. And i happily batch export scenes after that.

Many Thanks, Guys
