video sequences

[stylus10]

i have some video sequences from final cut pro (.mov) that i am trying to load into the image tab. for some reason they will not load. i have tried converting these videos to hell and back to find a format it will take but no luck.

what are the baseline requirements for LW 9.6 to accept video?

and do i have to load codecs somewhere, and if so where?

thank you for any help you can give me.

Are you using a 64-bit machine with a 64-bit LightWave? If so, you can blame Apple for not having made a 64-bit Quicktime for Windows. Otherwise any video format that uses DirectShow should be loadable in LightWave.

thank you i am. i guess that explains it. do you know of a way i can convert to directshow? i have been searching for something and have had no luck.

thanks much for the big clue there.

Quick Time will work on a x64 machine using LW x32 you could install LW x32 and load the .mov into it and convert to an image sequence or an uncompressed .avi.

or render out an image sequence from your editor
