AE Codec problem.

[Orestes]

Yeah hi.
Well I was messing with my After Effects to edit something and I tried to put some footage into AE and afterwords it said "No such AVI compressor." But anyways its weird because I used Lagarith and DivX codecs on my footage and from what i've learned BOTH should work in After Effects. Oh btw for what its worth i'm using Vista and After Effects 7.0.

DivX (and XviD for that matter) shouldn't be used with any editor, ever, and I think Adobe doesn't like Lagarith, from what I remember. I think Huffyuv should work, though. It's another lossless compression like Lagarith; the file size will just be a little bigger. I know the AMVapp comes with Huffyuv, if you don't have it.

Yea thanks I know That DivX and XviD should be used just i do it sometimes for practice footage and stuff to save space.
Also I have AMVApp so i'll try out huffyuv.
Thanks Much.

But I didn't want my sentence not making sense.

Lagarith works just fine win Adobe, it's WMM that doesn't get along with lagarith

on a different note:
we should add H.264 stuff to the list of things that shouldn't be edited with as well

Live and learn and all that. My copy of Premiere/AE is on Mac, so I wasn't sure. Thanks for the clarification.
