Venting and Animation Frustration

I loved using Alice to create my animation, but I do have to admit, getting it to export the video has been very frustrating. I did do a Jing of it, and followed all of the advice that I have been given, but it still won't create a video. It seems to not want to go after my video/sound. Is anyone else having this issue.

I have downloaded all that it says to download and then am still working on the other tasks, but I feel like everytime I go to Export Video, it hates me. Yes, I know computers don't have feelings and can't portray hatred, but it make me frutrated.

On a good note, I do know how to use Audacity and created my scrpit, again, I am aftraid of things being longer than the amount, but I used it for a project in my classroom. I also was able to teach my kids the phrase, "Killing two birds with one stone."

Any advice would be welcomed, but also thanks for just letting me vent.

  2. I had the same problem. Even after installing the 3 extra Java applets, it continued to save my file as an 'alice' file instead of a movie file. The one time that it seemed as though it was going to work, it caused my whole computer to freeze up and shut down. I ended up recording my animation through Jing as well.

  3. I think what frustrated me the most, is how many times I tried doing it. I did get it to record without sound on twice the speed, but it isn't the quality that I liked. I also jinged it and just have to submit. Other life issues have come up and haven't had the chance to just submit.
