Re: White background in composition window while rendering

So you're saying that everything looks fine until you render?

If you are missing codecs then your footage may appear as all white or all black when you try to play it back. I don't know if this would only appear during render but I suppose that some codecs may have some sort of copy protection that would let you play them back but not render them.

What codec(s) are used in your source footage? If you have any DVC50Pro footage that was exported from Final Cut Pro or a Mac with the FCP codecs then it will not play back on a PC without a third-party codec such as the Raylight decoder.

Can you play all of the footage used in your comp in Quicktime player? You may try to update your Quicktime player to the latest version so you'll have the latest codecs. If the footage was created with a newer version of Quicktime than what you have then it may cause this problem.

If you can provide more information then someone may be able to help you or point you in the right direction.
