Default Repeated Formats in Output Module Settings

If I click on Output Module in the Render Queue and pull down "Format" to change it from say, a JPG to a Quicktime movie, why is it that each format is repeated twice? I'm runnning CS3 on Vista.

Now, to be clear - my TEMPLATES aren't repeated .. just the FORMATS listed for what the templates could be.

You get the idea.

Thanks

These things point to installs that went wrong and didn't overwrite data or the pref file was not updated correctly on program exit, possibly due to a crash. In your case it seems it has duplicated the output format lists. Try to delete the prefs and see if it goes away. There's also a similar XML list for MediaCore formats, which may need to be kileld as well.

Thanks for the suggestion - I had tried trashing prefs but not the XML .. but it's still messed up. I can live with it - I mean, it's not like a crash that keeps me from working!

Thanks again

Mmh, still strange. Even if it looks harmless, it may cause issues eventually, if AE attempts to also load a specific output module twice. I'd keep an eye out for it. I forgot to mention that some of these modules also are hooked in the registry, so may be that's where this nonsense comes from - identical settings under different keys or redundant user-specific vs. systemwide keys.
