Screen capture not working?

Post by Eugen » 03 Dec 2013, 09:13

Hi,
what's up with that screen capture function? No matter what codec I choose, only the first frame gets rendered. I definitely have the frame sequence set right.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Are you capturing a Quicktime? Try using Photo - JPEG for your codec. Also check you don't have quick time open while you are capturing.

You could try a hardware render. It's almost as quick as doing a capture.

is to capturing or quitting on the first frame? if it quits immediately, it's a sharing violation (close the videoplayer) or a problem writing to the path
