AE basic question

Postby ForeverZeroo » Wed Oct 25, 2006 5:18 pm

Mkay. Im trying to do the nice thing and use the guide given on the website (http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ ... orial.html) rather then just ask an editer for them to be my AE sensei. But this is the reason i dont like doing online guides. There are ALWAYS problems with the explaination given, nothing is simple.

anyway my question is at this point: "Now, let's bring some footage in. Right-click in the footage window and go to Import > File. Select a video file to bring into the composition. Note that AE 5.5 and below require your video files be in the RGB colorspace. AE 6.0 supports videos in any colorspace. After you've imported the video, import an audio file. Your audio should be an uncompressed WAV, not an mp3. Finally, import a small image file. Next, go over to the Time Controls window and click the speaker icon. This will enable audio for your previews."

When I add a clip...its all scrambled....green and red ...you wouldnt even know it was a clip. I cant even learn if i cant get a clip. Im using AE 6.5 please help if you can.

and if anyone wants to teach me basics themselves so i dont have to learn from onlin e guide....lemme know ^^;;;; LOL

This line in the guide is probably incorrect :p
Convert your video to a codec that supports the RGB colorspace, such as Lagarith.
