Crash on load clip

[Exception]

Speededit crashes when trying to add a .hdr file to the timeline.
It also won't show uncompressed avi's that were output by Lightwave.

[John Perkins]

Can you send me an example file that crashes? We didn't specifically add .hdr files as an image format, so I'd really like to test that out. jperkins@newtek.com

Also, I retested bgr32 uncompressed avi's from Lightwave and had no problem.

What codec and size was the avi?

Thanks,
John

I tested with HDR files and yes, those are causing problems.

We'll see about fixing that.

Thanks,
John

John, we had a little conversation a few months ago about these same issues. I havn't touched Speededit since because I really can't use it...

- I can't load any uncompressed LW clips, as they just stay black
- Various Avi's crash speededit on browsing to the folder that they're in (the ones I sent you last time, I guess it slipped your mind, as I havn't heard from you about those)
- A .hdr in the folder that another file is in will crash Speededit
- Can't get AAC sound from Quicktime files

I have the Lightwave 9.2 Demoreel to edit next week, and I'm getting source material from about a dozen people, no predicting what format or compressors used, and it's a big enough job as it is. I'd really like this solved before I start working on it.

I sent Gil Triana a short clip which doesn't load for me, and also a .hdr file. I havn't heard from him.

Gil sent those to me yesterday and an engineer has already been looking into them.

It just takes a little time to go from getting the report to pinpointing the problem to releasing a tested solution.

We are looking at the issues though.

Ok, now Speededit doesn't want to import uncompressed quicktime files, corrupts the sorenson 3 quitimes in the preview window, nor does it properly convert a certain JPG image sequence to a clip, it stays in individual frames. Is there any way to force a list of images to become a clip? I have to go through LW to convert the clip to an avi now to get it into Speededit. Bit silly, really... :chicken:

I've for now re-rendered all the uncompressed avi's from LW to NTCodec avi's which seems to work well. I don't have quicktime pro though so those QT issues remain unsolved.
