Motion Keeps Crashing while exporting…

[Jim Kanter]

1. How much space is available on the hard drive?
2. Have you tried exporting using different settings?

[Damon Hoydysh]

Each of my drives have about 25 gigs to spare.

The project is only 300mb.

I have not tried any other settings, but I need it full res NTSC DV.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Damon

If you’re going to Final Cut or Compressor, try using the Motion project file instead. Otherwise, try rendering to the animation codec which is better than NTSC DV. As long as your project isn’t too long, it shouldn’t take long to render in the app you import it into.

If that doesn’t work, let us know.

Thanks, I’ll try that. Is the animation considered a good codec or form of compression?

Hey Damon,

Animation is essentially lossless, so it’s typically used as the “high-quality” format.
