Now I've the problem again...some videos works and other doesn't...this doesn't show the broken icon but I get a empty box and for a moment this become in a yellow box...I've tried change the size, move, but I can't fix it...I think than it can be a bug

this is other file..more shorter...where the problem happen..I've tried other formats too but doesn't work

I couldn't get it to show either. I ran it through my video converter software, converting it to QUICKTIME and then it worked.

Thanks to some excellent help from Jonbo on image importing, I've been able to complete my first animation video but I was pretty surprised by how large the file was. This is my first experience with creating and managing animation video files and I'd like a sanity check on what size to expect. QUESTION: Is the file size of about 700MB+ reasonable for the animation video describe below....I hope this description is sufficent.

1. Video type: AVI
2. Video duration: About 18 seconds
3. Animation: 1 Static Character made up of 1 bone layer and 4 image layers but not animated. 1 Dyamic charater structurally the same as the first but animated and following a follow path for all of the 18 seconds.
4. 3 image layers made visible on and off to create a blinking effect.
5. Audio: About 6 seconds of audio on one track.
NOTE: When I saved as an AVI file, I selected "interlaced" vs. "non-interlaced".

All help appreicated.
