red dot in renderer saying ‘error’

[Brian Jones]

It says invalid output path, not that?

yep that was the problem haha, will take ages to render but it says thelootthief.png

does this mean it will render as a png sequence?

thanks

Render Settings/Save/Format must be set to .png You can set it to any of the still or animation formats in the list which will differ a bit depending on if you are on Mac or PC, whether QuickTime is installed and what version of C4D you are on (R19 is different since QT support seems to be ending on the PC (still there was an update semi-recently))
