[carlos castro] “I have about 50 tiff’s and none is more than 58 MB’s.”

File size is not relevant. Pixel aspect is. If you want to be reliably able to render these files, then you should resize any that exceed 4,000 pixels (in any direction)

Well since i didn’t know what to look for can you tell me how I can determine whether a still or graphic is at or about 4,000 pixels?

Where would I find this information, I could just go back and affect each picture I guess in a worst case scenario. I did resize a few picture but cause the client didn’t want to see any of the borders in them. that makes sense then.

Thanks Michael

That information is available to view in a few ways. In the bin with the stills, there should be a column that shows frame size. Click on the top of this column to arrange clips by size and you will see all the biggest at the bottom.

Otherwise you can see the details of any clip by right mouse click on the clip and look at Item Properties>Format

Got it Michael, I found it shortly after my last posting. I have checked all of my pictures and graphics and non is larger than 3300×2559. I resized it just to be on the safe side and I still have the same problem, all of the rest of the tiff’s are smaller in size.

Are you adding filters to these tiffs and are they the files that are having trouble rendering?

[Carlos Castro]

I finally F—ing found it! You were right Michael ! I found after double checking the stills and the graphics one by one. One of the ones I over looked was 5K, thanks man. I feel happy to have found the problem but like an ass for dragging this out so long. thanks for you help and patience with me.

I owe you one !

Happy to help. It is a problem that crops up here a lot. Hopefully the next person will find this post first with a search and solve their problem.

For what it’s worth, version 1.3b2 of Corrupt Clip Finder now flags up images larger than 4000 pixels.
