I've run across another problem in AS that I hope you can help me work out. I've got an .AVI file that I created with another package (Renderize) and I wanted to overlay a logo image onto the first frame of the animation. (I was later going to replicate the first frame so it'll be a "still" before the animation starts). Anyway I do these procedures. Load the AVI file. Load the bitmap image. Use the "Magic Wand" and "invert selection" to select the logo (I did a blue background). Copy the logo to the clipboard. Go to the AVI in frame mode and paste the logo. Render the frame. Everything's hunky at this point. I then try to SAVEAS and I get the following error dialogs: Request for feature that is unsupported -OK- and then: APPLICATION ERROR Abnormal program termination -Close- I'm then rudely returned to Progman. Any ideas? I tried making my logo differnet bitmap file types (.BMP, TGA) and different color depths (8 bit to 32 bit) with and without compression. They all have the same effect. I even tried to do this with one of the tutorial AVI files. Same thing. What gives?

>> I then try to SAVEAS and I get the following error dialogs: << try this first, then we'll figure it out. open the avi file, open new AVI file with same frame count, with time mode selected, use select all of frame in original, copy to clipboard and paste into blank. use saveas. now close original and save new copy as test file. open test file and do what you want. everything okay? -dave
