Rename a supported video in 720p24 on OS level to “A Video - scene #1 Should This Exist” and import it into VAI. Select the parameters shown below for enhancement and click Export As.
VAI present this string as suggestion for the file name: “A Video - scene .mov”
I’d expect to see this: “A Video - scene #1 Should This Exist_prob3.mov”
What is the reason for truncating suggested file names on the presence of “#”?
Are there other ANSI or UTF-8 characters, which are valid in file names but result in truncated suggested filenames? If so, which?

Thanks for the bug report! We will definitely look into this and I’ll provide an update from our dev team as soon as I can.

Update. VAI 4.2.1.
The issue with the character ‘#’ in file names seems to be fixed. Thanks for that.
Unfortunately, the character ‘#’ somewhere in the file-path still confuses VAI on export somehow.
To reproduce, create two folders somewhere,“\folder 01” and “\folder #2”. Populate each with a video clip. Start VAI. Export the clip from “\folder 01”. The export lands in “\folder 01”, next to the source, as expected. Then, export the clip from “\folder #2”. It doesn’t land in “\folder #2”, but in “\folder 01”. To verify that the issue is clearly related to the character ‘#’ repeat the test with the folder pair “\folder 01” and “\folder 02”.
Can we safely assume that no other ANSI or UTF-8 character in file names or paths triggers these issues?
