video playback problem

Post by jbrameld » Sat Apr 20, 2013 10:32 pm

I'm trying to use a video cue for the first time. I'm running SCS 11.1.5 on a win XP machine.

The video file will playback fine in the preview windo in the editor so the codec must be there - it also plays back fine in windows media player.

When I try and run it in performance mode it briefly flashes up on the screen and then disappears in less than a second.

Any ideas why this might be?

Thanks,

Jason

Try this: go to Options / Video Driver and change the Video Renderer to "VMR-7 Windowed". Then click OK and close and restart SCS. See Video Driver for more info.
