HD Timeline to 16×9 NTSC SD — tests fine, final 6 hr encode has no video
So I have a timeline with HD footage, all is well. I’m needing to bump it down to uncompressed 720×40 16×9 – all of the initial quicktime conversion tests run great. Leave the box on overnight to do the whole thing and I end up with a properly sized file with no video (just a white background).
Ideas? Driving me a bit insane.

You might want to give Compressor a go, exporting straight to Compressor from timeline. I’ve done this with hour long HD timelines and no problem. QT conversion might be running into memory leaks or something.

Yeh, good point. I just went out and grabbed a new SATA drive to attempt to avoid the firewire channel I was rendering from. Fairly frustrating to come back to a 6 hr encode and have it be messed up. I’d do it in HD (like the original footage); but I don’t have 700gigs externally to spare for that.
The big hope is to get the SD footage and encode with a PC (cinema craft) out of that for a DVD. I don’t mind compressor, but CCE seems to do a little better job with colors and motion.
In case someone happens upon this, I’ll add an update to how everything comes out.
