I keep getting this error when I load up one of my graphics. I have narrowed it down to what causes me to get this message. It happens when I delete the last keyframe in my animation. For some reason the last keyframe in my animation has some wacked out attributes, that is why I have to delete it. When I do, my animation acts the way I want it to. But everytime I reopen the file, it adds that keyframe at the end, and when I delete it, save it, then try to open it, I get the "unexpected file format" error.

I know this makes little sense, but has anyone encountered a problem like this, or at least this error message when trying to open a lyric file???

Unexpected file format is usually when you try to open a file in an older version of Lyric than the one in which it was originally created.

As to the key frame issue, perhaps instead of deleting the last keyframe, you can go to the previous keyframe, right-click, Copy Animation State, go to the bad Keyframe, right-click and paste animation state. Then try Alt+Rec and call the page back up. Worse comes to worse, email me the Lyric file and let me look at it.
