open the avs plugin gui ( should be in the amvapp folder) and check that the resizing algorithm is set to a high quality setting - that may be causing your low quality renders.
Thanks, I checked that and it was set to the high quality setting. The problem is though it still shows the .avi footage rather than the .avs footage when I switch.
are you working with dvd vobs? I find that vobs are the only stuff you can bait and switch to accurately, avi, mkv and mp4 will result in the problem you've described. I'm waiting for someone to come up with a solution so I can save 100s of gigs of space when dealing with those types of files
Yes, I am working with vobs and .avi footage (since my DVD only went to 17 of 26 episodes...never buy bootlegs at conventions, they aren't worth it).
do you have your assumefps(blah) turned on in your avs?
does your fps match your project settings?
have you remade/written over the index name in the same folder?
is it possible what you were seeing before was not the right scene anyway due to playback lag? so what is showing now is the correct scene...
wait wut is this? a burly thread x_x
I've noticed last time I used vfapi's that this happened I never found a solution... I was just lucky I'd made a ful timeline export already in lossless format so I replaced the footage.
Yes I do
Yes it does
I don't think so
It could be that. Is there a way to fix that lagging so I don't keep screwing up with it?
hehehe
No solution? crap, since I tend to have bad luck with every AMV I make.
I can usually bait and switch mkv's fine but i haven't done it excessively.I have had a similar out of sync problem before with premiere because it was interpreting my bait files with a different frame rate. 23.976 was interpreted as 23.98 and i had been editing with that frame rate. When I loaded the switch files they had the 23.976 fps and everything was out of sync. But it was an easy fix - i just put a Assumefps(23.98) command at the end and everything was fine. So yeah you really have to just check the files are behaving correctly when you load them.
My vob avs files already had an fps of 29.97, so I don't think I need to changa that. The avi files I'm working with though are origionally 23.976 and I put the Assumefps(29.97) command before I had even started editing. I did however shorten the low quality .avi files by cutting out the opening sequences to save space. I guess that's where I went wrong as now they aren't the same time as the .avs files.
So should I just redo this project or can I find a way to still fix that mistake?
Thanks everyone for your help and advice. It really is a big help.
