Never ending render with 10.1.1

[Craig Alan]

Did they suggest a way to cancel a b.g. task when it gets stuck. Really it should have been a quick pop-up that says something like unable “unable to complete task …” A single corrupt frame prevents any work getting done? Not good.

No, they didn’t.

I actually had background rendering turned off during the whole troubleshooting process.

But I am surprised there was no helpful error message when trying to export to DVD – something that would tell me why it would not complete. It seemed the only way to get a problem specifc error message was to export to master file.

But hopefully my whole problem had to do with being caught in the middle of an update – and that 10.1.1 is otherwise OK.
