AE error: Retrieving frame from video screen and Open Gl pbuffer not available.
by adele (Adele Carboni) on Oct 10, 2005 at 8:49:09 pm

Hi, I'm working on a 35 second comp. When I do ram preview it stops at 28seconds. The error message is AE error: retrieving frame from video screen if using either 3d modes or open gl pbuffer not available if using open gl. I can render a movie OK it is just the preview.

I have two gigs of ram and a radeon xl 850 video card.

Does anyone know what the errors mean and what the solution to this is?

I appreciate any help,
Adele

I've had this when using uncompressed .avi's as my source.. Usually if I purge the image cache then re-render the preview it's fine.. OR use quicktime/TGA sources instead.

Cheers,
Andy
