File half corrupted after render and how to make renders faster
-
Thanks I’ll try that. 🙂

I don’t think there is a difference, but for clarification I’m on CS6 not CS4.
Output Module: Select AVI from the drop down menu. Click format options which will bring up a new window. On that window there will be the video tab and under the video codec drop down menu you should have the option of “none”. These should be the settings for the “lossless” preset for Output Module (though it defaults to not exporting audio).

Okay, I guess cs4 doesn’t have it. All I got in the output modules drop down menu is “lossless, alpha only, animated gif, audio only, lossless with alpha, microsoft DV NTSC 32KHz, microsoft DV NTSC 48KHz, microsoft DV PAL 32KHz, microsoft DV PAL 48KHz, multi-machine sequence, photoshop, RAM preview, custom… and make template.”

Lossless should be what you want. Those are all template. You have to click on the yellow text to open the menu for the Output Module options I described.
This should be the same in CS4. It has been a while, but I learned on CS3 then jumped to 5.5 then 6 and I haven’t seen a change in this process.

For complex and lengthy renders, I always suggest rendering to an image sequence. If your render fails for any reason, you can easily pick up right where you left off. If you need to tweak just a section, you only need to re-render the affected frame range.
You can stitch the image sequence back into a movie with Ae or compress it directly if your compression app supports image sequences after the fact.

Yes…I was agreeing with you on it being quicker and a better option. I was disagreeing when you say significant less time =]. like 5 mins (what I’m expecting it to be) in 17h.
