NLA Error

For some reason, whenever I try to open the NLA window in a file I’m working on right now, Blender crashes. It works fine in all of my other files. I’d been working with it for a while, and had gotten a lot done, the animation was working fine, etc. But then it just stopped right when I rendered a segment of the video. I used the Cinepack codex. All the animation done with the NLA stopped working, and when I tried to open the NLA window, Blender crashed. I’ve tried importing the scene into a fresh file, but it didn’t help. I’ve tried it in Blender 2.27 and in a recent build of Tuhopuu. Does anyone have any ideas what’s wrong?

Was this done in Tuhopuu? And which renderer were you using?

I’d just search C drive and try to find a saved file. If you were working on it long enough there’s a copy before you added the video.

If nothing turns up try appending everything except the sequence editor into a new file. [crosses fingers]

This was all done in Blender 2.27. I’m using the scanline renderer Blender has integrated. The only copy I’ve got is a few hours old, without any of the animation work and minus a bit of modeling, so I’m hoping I don’t have to go back to that. How would I go about appending everything but the NLA data? The only way to import everything at once is to import a scene, and that brings the NLA data with it.

Goo

import all the objects at once.

Oooh. That’s nice. I never knew you could do that before. :o I’d always just imported the mesh data and assigned it to a plane. Unfortunatly, opening the NLA window still makes Blender crash. I think I’m just going to do it be hand.

Goo

Ok, I’ve got it working. I started over again from an older version, and imported the path data and animation data. I think it was a problem with the codex I used, because it stopped working after I rendered a video. it works fine with the old AVI JPG settings.

Goo

Ok, it’s not a problem with the codex. I just rendered an animation with the same codes, and it is still working properly.

Goo

So don’t keep us hanging! What was it?

The problem? I don’t know. I just started over from an older file without any animation. I think the problem was with one specific strip for the main character, because I imported it by itself into a new scene, but it still froze up, but if I imported other objects it was fine. The only solution I have is to save multiple copies of you files very often.
