    Hello!

    I have a 10minute sequence with a TIMECODE effect on the top most video track. When I go to render that effect, it quits with no error message or pop up at around 40%.

    If I try to export a QT Ref. and render effects it gives me the “exception: no_frame_boundary” pop-up error.

    If I cut up the Timecode layer into chunks around 3 minutes each, it works without a problem.

    I checked Avid’s knowledge base and the only solution I was able to find was to check that my drive’s file system is NTSC based, which it is.

    Any insights?

    Thank you.

    Oops, NTFS not NTSC.

    Sounds like a size of file issue. The reason to check your drive formatting is that FAT 32 drives can only hold files 4 gigs and under.

    Are you positive it is NTFS and not FAT 32 which is also a PC format? If this is a firewire drive with the original formatting it probably is FAT 32.

    Thank you for your reply.

    It is indeed a firewire drive, a Lacie 2BigTriple to be precise. It was reformatted and unless Windows is lying to me, it is NTFS.

    For now I have cut the Timecode effect into chunks. I had the same problem with a Submaster effect as well.

    I am having the same issue here. I have a Project that I am trying to Video Mixdown. (1hr 47min)
    Rendering to a LanShare Unity Drive so no question about Drive Format. I have routinely done large mixdowns like this before with no issue. There is plenty of drive space available.
    I have already gone through and Rendered all the effects.
    Mixing to OMFI 2:1

    Any further thoughts and discussion may be helpful. Thank you
