I thought of that as well, and tried different paths where nothing had ever been captured. Same thing. Restarting my box has no effect. Criminy.

By the way, Bradley, nice work with your Shotgun/Tank integration. The webinar the other day when Tony presented was frickin' sweet.

Keep in mind that when prepping a Quicktime, Softimage actually writes a small header to the intended capture file before you actually do the capture. Not sure if Windows video codecs do the same, but wouldn't be surprised.

If for some odd reason the file path you set is invalid (check to see how your tokens resolve!) or if it goes to a directory that lacks write permissions, this can be an issue.

In your case, it's probably not this issue, but just thought I'd put this out there. :-)

    Well either a restart or renaming the save file to a new name
    normally solves it for me, but it does pop up way to often...

            Just a month ago I was able to export viewport captures
            as QuickTime files. Now, when I click on the 'Codec'
            button, if either QuickTime or AVI is selected as the
            format, I get the following error:

            /'Could not create the file and initialize the render -
            verify the path'/

            I'm not sure what path it's talking about. This happens
            in both 2012 SAP and 2013...
