Hi, I made a video with this software, but I soon found myself unable to export a file. When I attempted to export the video, I received an error message that said: "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit, the application will close immediately.

Exception in AVIFileOpen: -2147221164."

I would like to use this software, but I find that anything I do does not change the fact that the only output I can get from the program is as a series of pictures, which I find useless because I have no way to splice the images into a video and add the sound. I would appreciate any help I can get in fixing this problem, and I assume I am doing something wrong since other people have obviously managed to export videos. I tried the tutorial, but I got the same result when I followed the same steps for a video. Please help me, as I would hate to have to try to find another software that allows for non standard background colors.

I was using the standard AVI single file, and I guess it wouldnt be too hard to add the audio track in to it in Magix Movie Edit Pro. I am unsure of whether or noth the fact that I imported the file using AVISynth was the problem, but I think the issue pretty much cripples the program.

I am not sure if this is what you mean, but when I hit the output and save button, I chose Video for Windows (*.avi). I do not recall anything about compression in the instructions. I am using version 2.2.4.113 if that helps. I have gone through the entire process without encountering a dialog box that even mentioned compression.

That dialog box has never appeared, so I am  unsure of what is wrong with my version of the software, but now I am convinced that it is more flawed then I origonally thought.
