First of all, I love Band in a box.

One of the features that made me (more) excited is the possibility to render a video.

The problem
In the video when having more song that fits on one screen, the "second" screen is not shown. OR the video doesn't continue scrolling to the next chords after reaching the bottom of the screen.

Am I the only one having this issue? I didn't search the forum that hard but couldn't find anything.

Also if this would have worked properly I would have posted a lot more video's, and I expect to see a lot more video's made with biab.

Kind Regards,
AJ

AJ,

Have you tried activating the "Scroll ahead" option found in the centre of the video render dialogue window?

I've just tried with the above option on and off. With it on, the video scrolled so that the chords being played were always at the top of the screen. This played fine until the end of the song. With the option off, the window did not load the second page of chords.

I've reported this to PG Music in case it is not behaving as it should.

Regards,
Noel

Dear Noel,

Thank you for reminding me. Yes it works but the problem I have with this option is that as soon as the song arrives at the last "page" the indicator stops at the top chord.

However I have mixed results:

I have a Sing-A-Long choir and use biab to create music for it.
This first one is "The Rose" that stops at the first new chord at the last "page". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok3eN-yhPv8

However, "Country Roads" seems to work ok:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMpohpAdBU0

I can't get other songs to work just like "Country Roads".

Kind regards,
AJ

Do you mind sharing what styles you used for both songs. Nicely done.

Totally agree with the annoyance.

Dear DE,

Here you go:
The Rose: _ATMSPH1.STY
Country Roads: _CSWNGM2.STY

Just to test, I rendered a new video of Country Roads, the one that worked correctly, and this time it has the same problem as the others.

Can it be the codec? I'll see if I can find some time to test the different once.

Kind Regards,
AJ

AJ, thanks.

Here are my settings that I used to create 19 videos (removed from YouTube and stored (??).

See screenshot: it's been quite a while but.. I do not recall having any problems.

Dear DE,

Tried your settings on my machine. It didn't work. However I noticed that the stops are totally random.

Perhaps it's my machine.

I'm now thinking that it might have to do with resources. I have my copy running from the external harddisk instead of installing it on my pc.

That means that when the rendering is done it also uses the external harddisk.

I have searched for a possible setting for me to change so it uses my SSD while rendering but I haven't found that possibility (yet).

Kind Regards,
AJ

Thank you for narrowing it down for me DE.

I just realised that I can use my screen recorder to get the right result. Although I still think it's a shame that (for me) the build-in video rendering function doesn't work.

So I had a look in the avim folder to see what is happening.

When the rendering starts it the program basicly makes images (screenshots) of the chord sheet. I saw after the 10th image, the images kept repeating. So when putting together the images and the wav file the right image(number) was inserted, however the picture in the different image files is the same.

Kind Regards,
AJ
