Video has only a black screen with audio

Post by devarni »

Exporting the video will only export a black screen with the audio. The scene is not rendered into the video.
Playing the scene in the editor works, so the project is correctly working.

I've exported the current scene (the Stereo Main scene from a demo project).

Thanks! Yes, this solves this problem... hmm... the default is Afaik "monitor0" which suggests it means the audio output from the system, so it should work too. No idea why this will not render the scene, it makes no sense for me.

Exporting a movie is an "offline" process; it isn't done in real-time, so live audio input doesn't work. You can read a bit more about it here: https://magicmusicvisuals.com/downloads ... tingMovies

The advantage of an offline export is that you can render complicated scenes at high resolutions without worrying about dropped frames or anything like that. The resulting movie file will play back perfectly smoothly.
