Please help me. I am trying to create a video spotlight using an AVI file I have captured from tape. I need to import it into 3D Studio. I have the capability to convert a FLIC file to AVI but not vice versa. I would really appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

I'm sure that one of the knowledgable folks here on the forum would be able to help you figure out how to convert an AVI to a flic. (I'm just not one of them.) – G

I believe a product called WinImages F/X will do it for you, and is very inexpensive. BILL

Denise, >> .avi to .fli/.flc << just a few guesses – Video for Windows, Adobe Premiere. If not to .fli file ask if these packages can go to .tga, .bmp, or .tif.

Hi Denise, We have two programs that convert AVI to FLC or FLI files. They are the A/V Recorder and RAZOR. The A/V Recorder is a digital video capture and conversoin program and RAZOR is a digital compositor which allows you to combine animations, digital video and audio and apply image processing effects such as Aldus Gallery Effects Kai's Power tools etc. RAZOR can import and export AVI, FLC, FLI, series of TGAs, BMPs, WAVs. It has the ability to combine images using a number of different methods including alpha channel, still and travelling mattes, chroma keying, luminance keying, blue screen, green screen, color difference keying and transparency values. RAZOR is the only digital compositor on the market which features the ability to composite an infinite number of images and audio tracks. RAZOR's SRP is $199.00 and is available from some of the Autodesk dealers who frequent this forum. For more info call me on (301) 831 5008 or fax me on (301) 983 9674. Jamie Carr in:sync

Denise, You can convert the AVI file to a series of TGA files. Then turn the series of TGA files into an FLC file. To go from AVI to TGA, you can use video for windows, or utilities found in GRAPHSUPP or MSAPPS forums. I am not sure of the names, but I always find them whenever I look for them. Just search the libraries on keywords like AVI TGA and CONVERT. Here in ASOFT download DTA.ZIP. This will take your TGA files and combine them into an FLC file. Or use NUMPIC inside AAPRO. -Brian

Denise, If I may ask, I would like to know what software that you are using to convert .FLI files to .AVI format. I have been searching for a while for a conversion utility. Preferably inexpensive shareware. I would appreciate any info. Thanks!
