Cannot Open start avi movie file I am new to Blender.
I have a new Macbook Pro 2018 with the highest upgrades in memory, speed and all. Running newest os.

I watch a video about the fox logo from Matt Hoeker, and followed it to the letter. Everything goes exactly like the video until I hit render animation, and it goes to a new page as if it is going to render it and then within seconds I get the message at the top that reads, "Cannot open or start avi movie file". I checked the exchange where others have had this problem, but I do not see any solutions. I'm trying to do something cool for my school, but 2 hours of failing has me desperate for help.
All the best,
Mike
Mac computers do not play avi files unless you use another video player to see it.

I recommend you to render your movie in mp4 format.
