Posts: 4 		Hey guys. I'm having trouble uploading my finished video to the MuviZu & 3D World Competition. I spent around 6 hours yesterday trying to get the video close to how it is in the project. (i.e. Missing Characters or Animation (moods) would not come on cue) which has been touched on in another post here. But my problem now is that I can't upload the video to the Muvizu website either through MuviZU itself which crashes or manually through the website. The file is in DivX 6.8.5 codec format at 720 x 576 resolution and is 67meg in size at 4 minutes long. Just wondered if there was an issue with the format or screen size.



I spent so long on trying to get this right that it would be a shame not to get it up and at least viewed. I've enjoyed the experience of using Muvizu 3D but getting a little frustrated with the preview window and various selected codecs giving me invariably different results and now trying to get it uploaded. Appreciate any help or suggestions, I'm going to download Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) refered to in another post and try to reinstall Muvizu.




But not sure what the problem is with the upload as all I get is a message in red saying that it has failed but no reference to what had caused the upload to fail.




Anyway thanks for your time and hopefully someone will have some advice on this matter. Enjoy your day and Congrats on an awesome program that despite being in alpha has huge potential.

Posts: 4 		Just an update. I uninstalled Muvizu and re-installed it and loaded up the project and tweaked the a little just so I could get the majority of the actions, moods and movement that I wanted.



As a side issue I found that to make the characters move in the make Movie Preview window (also in the Rendered Video) I had to just let the Director record throughout the whole time line the animations although I just let it run without additional selections. Then when I went back to making the video the characters were entering the scene when it should have originaly. (keep in mind that it was doing this correctly in the project setup). Sorry to go off track thought it might be useful info for the developers.

Now back to my uploading issue. Once I'd tweaked my project and re-ran animations for each of the characters I then created a video with no codec selected and used a smaller 480 x 360 size. The upload seemed to have worked as instead of receiving an upload error I was told simply that the file will be available shortly so I'm hoping that it succeeded in uploading.

Also another small note, despite the re-install and tweaking of the project there were still some actions/moods that were skipped in the video preview and the final created video which is evident in the clip I uploaded. Also some movements like turning (stepping) were missing and the characters would just slide instead of stepping.

So perhaps it was the resolution and codec that was causing the 1st upload to fail.

Thanks for the Good luck wishes On that note I wish everyone else involved in the competition all the best as well!

For me it's just good to be able to get something out there that I've conceived and plotted out and when things don't go well as you've mentioned it can be frustrating like with anything in life. But MuviZu was fun to work with and it was good getting the creative juices working again!

I'm looking forward to the Beta release. The potential for what can be created with Muvizu is awesome and it'll be exciting to see what people will be able to produce with it.

A lot of my issues may have come from my system not being powerful enough I guess as well. As I noticed the more I was using the software the more problems I was having.

But it's all good.
