White screen only when saving annimation ?
White screen only when saving annimation ?
(OP)
Ok I used solidworks animator add in to make a quick 20 second animation. Looks great on screen when I run the animation in SWX, but when I try to save as an .avi file and use Solidworks screen as the "buffer" option, it goes thru the motions and seems to be creating the file, but when I try and play the file in Media player it's 20 seconds of recorded white screen? If I use the photoworks "buffer" option instead of the solidwork screen option I get the desired result when saving an .avi but it takes much longer to make and it's more than I am looking for. Any ideas ? (running SWX 2007 sp0)

Maybe this will work--just before trying to make the recording, drag your timeline through the Animation very slowly--make sure the assembly keeps up with the motion. Then bring it back to the start. This helps Animator process what's going on a bit in advance and normally decreases such problems for me. However, you may be hitting a "wall" with graphics or RAM power such that this won't help.
