  • Animation rendering stalled ???

    Posted by Rick Morton on April 6, 2019 at 6:51 pm

    I have an 845 frame animation rendering as quicktime movie.
    Seemed that each frame was taking about 6 minutes.
    It’s been on “frame 483 of 845” for the past 30 minutes.
    I see the candy cane bar moving as the time continues… now 19:32:03.

    There’s nothing special happening in this frame. The animation is basically just balls dropping into a jar.
    If I stop now, I’ll lose all those 483 frames. Any ideas as to why it would stall?
    Team rendering on two Macs.

    on a one machine render to the Picture Viewer if you stop the render via the File…/Stop Rendering command it will create a movie with what rendered so far, nothing lost. I don’t know what will happen with a team render.

    Thanks. Unfortunately, not knowing that, I dumped the file and started over with PNG images instead. So far so good. That’s really good to know, though!
