HI, so i made my intro, but it keeps skipping. how do i convert it to windows live movie maker?

[gssantospequeno]

thnx a lot! i was tired of teh fox intro ^^

[ArcticGreenStripes]

@Ballyweg XMediaRecode will not open my file. It's a .blend file, I'm not sure if I have done something wrong in the process, although I have followed every step; I was wondering if you know how to help? Thank you.

[Ballyweg]

After you have rendered the Video file (which takes a few hours) you should locate the .avi file (where you saved the video). When you have located the AVI file, then you convert it with XMediaRecode. I am again referring to the bottom of the video description, where this whole procedure is described.

[ArcticGreenStripes]

@Ballyweg Thank you very much for your help :)

[DisAdvantage12]

HELP.. i did everything you told me, i followed everything but it won't play. on quiktime and windows media player.. it says "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file." idk what went wrong but i need this intro for windows movie maker for a project.. please help!

[Ballyweg]

PLEASE read the description or the previous comments. The rendered file needs to be converted afterwards with any conversion program. Tip: super or xmedia recode. Use DivX Avi for best results.

[TheShadowReapers9]

Blender isnt not working for me can someone make me one please

[petricasimi]

thanks you save my business i,m from romania by

[32o4]

how do you fix the slowness its like skipping

[Ballyweg]

This is caused by the enorminess of the file. Tip: Convert it to Avi DivX using XMediaRecode, SUPER or windows Live Movie Maker.

[BartyTurbo]

thank you very much for this info, but I have a question: is it possible to let the globe and the text explode at the end.

Thanks, keep up the amazing work!

[Ballyweg]

I don't know how to do it in blender, but there are plenty tutorials out there on how to do it in after effects.

[Leto85]

If I want the globe to wrap with a moving texture, like a video, is that possible and how can I do that?

For example, I could make a timelapse of the earth which contains a simulation of 4.54 billion years of moving continents from the begining until now and want that video to UVunwrap to the surface of the globe, will that be possible?

[Ballyweg]

I am sorry, I don't know how to do that. But it might be possible. Try asking thr folks at backyardtheatre(dot)com. They are the experts. I wish you the best. Bally

[PartyMedifly]

[acorntechnique]

Thanks very much for your video! It enabled me to produce exactly what your video said on the tin!

Thank you very much for uploading!

[rodribreakermusic]

the best tutorial...other people don't teach like this...don.t know how to teach when they speak.... byeee thanks..

[derricksuperguy]

HOW DO i PLAY IT!!!!!!!!!

[Ballyweg]

It depends on how you rendered (what format). Easiest way is to either: 1. Import it into Windows Movie Maker and Save the video file "for computer". 2. Use XMedia Recode to convert the video to something usable. Then play using normal Media Player.

[derricksuperguy]

@Ballyweg Thanks I got it now

[jbokse]

thanks so much, made mine and i love it

[aviraym]

thanks a lot tony

it really helped me

:)

[46ace]

! sofa king cool!

Great job thanks professional sounding audio,much better than most ...

[JTMovies100]

Hi Ballyweg,

We done all the steps that you done, we rendered it, but the next day (today) we cannot find the damn video, can you help us please thanks.

[Ballyweg]

Normally it renders either to C:\renders or to "the folder where you saved the .blend file"\renders. To check it, open up the blend file and press F10. Then look at the bottom right and take a look at the first directory under "Output". Thats where you should look.

[juliachan1987]

When I play my intro in Quicktime, Windows media player etc..... its always buffering meaning that it plays for a short while then "buffering XX%" and then plays again. Do you know what could be the explanation? Thanks

[Ballyweg]

Im not sure what the problem is. I you sure you rendered the entire sequence (waited for severeal hours to render the intro)? What format did you choose when rendering? Try converting the video with a converting program like XMedia Recode.

[Zackarie96]

i have anim it (AVI Codec) and when i play it, its realy laggy pls help

[DSCdeadeye]

yo i have a problem with animating it says unable to create directory

[Ballyweg]

Start blender as an administrator or change the export directory (bottom right after you pressed F10) to i.e. My Documents.

[MGATV]

thanks ;)

[ulysses79killa]

blend cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec

this is what it says when i try to open it on windows movie maker can you help me?

[BeltsShines]

my f10 key is wierd

[TUTZFORLIFE]

Thanks dude! ur The Best!!

[PCGAMERONVISTA]

thanx man it worked it is soo cool i cant stop watching it

[PCGAMERONVISTA]

when i click on animate it gives me a error unable to create directory what does that mean????? please help me!!!

[Ballyweg]

Start blender as Administrator or choose a non-admin-locked directory.

[debakkertje12]

@Ballyweg can you make one for me?? lol cuz my pc is very very slow when i render it

[Ballyweg]

Plz PM me.

[stevensonrf]

Tony! Thanks soooo much! I have been wanting to learn how to do this for over a year!

[Shadowclone44]

do I need python because when I render it does not go I have rendered something before and it worked please help

[Ballyweg]

No, python is not needed. It should render fine (see description for more info). Any question, just ask.

[noahs200010]

thanks a lot man u help me

[pinkybeasty]

Thanks A lot man! One question on my mind though..I cant seem to figure out how to find the renders folder! I finished animating it and trying to search in all of my directories, but still no luck. Im trying to import it into sony vegas..Any help?!

[Ballyweg]

After you have gone trough the long rendering process, the video is rendered (by default as avi) in a folder called "renders" as a subfolder of the one where you saved the .blend project file. You can change this before you render on the left handside in the "Output" (F10) tab.

[0Bros4Life0]

umm how do you get it into imovie hd?

[Rickyflight97]

Thanks alot

[TheJosephwayne]

I can't find the saved file!!!Where is the file RENDERS situated?

[CyberDaKnOb]

@TheJosephwayne Search for the RENDERS folder in the place you open the .blender project. Like if you didn't moved it after the download and opened it it sould be in the downloads folder of your browser.

[Ballyweg]

Exactly.

[TheLysMann]

really helpfull thanks alot!

[thorir30]

The tools below the monitors are lost. How do I vew them again?

[Ballyweg]

Try pressing F9 or use the View -> Toolbar command.

[TheLysMann]

thanks alot

[CeeJZor]

hmm did everything correct made it into avi raw then try to open it with windows movie maker/windows media player classic/ and flv and it wouldn't open on any of them any clue why?

[Ballyweg]

First time I had problems because the video avi raw was to large for wmp to handle. I used Prism Videos Converter to convert to wmv. Then it worked.

[GuiTarBoi151]

how can i be able to play my logo in windows media player?

[Ballyweg]

It should be no problem to play it directly after render. If you have any problems with the codec, try to import and export movie to Windows Movie Maker or download a video conversion program like Prism.

[GameFreakTV1]

hey umm change the desciption. it says part 1 of 2 :P also, since im actually making intros for people would you mind if i did a test of this? thanks

btw i favorited

[Ballyweg]

Thx for the hint. My error.

What do you mean by doing a test?

[Kassy538]

I can't find the images of the universial blender project after animate. Where can I find those?

[Ballyweg]

Normally in a folder same as the blender files called "Render". You can choose the render location in the bottom right of the render screen.

[knex81]

Imma done thanks :D took an hour

[knex81]

So does it mean we ahve to wait till the Anim Is Done Loading??????

[Ballyweg]

Yes, just be patient or reduce the quality/resolution. It will take several hours.

[knex81]

Wheres the video?

I saved it and i cant edit it...

[Ballyweg]

You can define the location in the left. By default it should be in a folder called render.

[noveladosvermes]

Awesome!

thx!

[Ballyweg]

Yw.

[Hector19931993]

You'Re A BEAsT!!!

Hey Do u KnOW If ThEre iS SOrt Of Like A PIXAR BLend File Yet?

[Ballyweg]

Ty.

No. I've searched all Google, nothing.

[TrinithyWild]

thank you for this tutorial!!!

[Ballyweg]

You're Welcome.

[raminator157]

Its still messed up.

[Ballyweg]

Then I don't know what's going wrong. I just want to say, tht I had to try severeal times in the beginnig for me to make it work properly.

[raminator157]

can you make one for me?

[Ballyweg]

Sorry, but I am really busy. I have no time to make one right now.

[raminator157]

I was wondering if you could create one for me. I have tried several times and the ending doesn't come out right. My title name is to the far left. I dunno why.

[Ballyweg]

Try redownloading the original files, then do all the steps. At step 1 (where you change the name) ensure text size and position are right. Also make sure you add the right keys at the right frame number set.

[WhiteNightProduction]

When I click anim it doesnt play, Just a dull screen. and then I just went on and when I clicked on the video file it was just a second of the whole thing.

[Ballyweg]

When you click anim, the film will start rendering. This will take much time. Be patient. After approx. 3-6 hours you will have the whole sequence. Lowering the quality will make it render faster.

[WhiteNightProduction]

Thanks, I figured it out though. Thank you so much for this. I subscribed and I will keep myself interested in you're work.

[Ballyweg]

You're welcome.... and thank you :-)

[MasterOfGameplay]

where u get the sound???

[Ballyweg]

It is downloaded together with the blender file.

[CbMRuLeZz77]

Where will the video show up after rendering?

[Ballyweg]

Normally at the location of your .blender file in a folder called Renders. You can change the Render location in the Render tab in the left under "Output" in the first box.

[austin1703]

Instead of RGB if i hit BW would it come out in black and white?

[Ballyweg]

Actually I've never tried. But i think it would.

[mizandmorrisonlol]

Where will i find the vid after its done????

[Ballyweg]

Under a folder called Renders at the location of your blender file.

[missionastar]

This is amazing! Really well explained, thanks - the results will be out shortly.

[Ballyweg]

You're welcome.
