Help needed 16 bit ser.files problem AS!2 AS!3

Post by Valery »

Hi to all,

I have a problem with reading 16-bit ser. movies files in the AS!2 and AS!3 stacking software. I see no images and only dark blank screen.

What is the problem and how can I solve it with setting changes? So far no luck.


Thanks,


Valery

Can you play the ser file OK?
Have you checked the bit dept in ASK3 that it is recognising what bit it is. I am still having problems with Firecapture that it labels my files randomly as 16 bit or 13 bit or 14 bit or 15 bit and then ASK doesn't recognise it. You have to manually change the bit depth at the top of the second window (take it off auto).

Probably not this but worth mentioning.

Valery:
The same happened to me some time ago, until I did exactly what Alexandra says, it was the solution to my problem.
So change the bit depth at the top of the second window (the one that shows the image), and take the "auto" off.
Best regards,
Eric.
