    ok, i figured it out. i was changing the render from a psd sequence to a video and it didnt like that. i left all the render settings the same and it worked YEAH.. BUT, i dont want 2160 frames of psd files, i want a video file. does that make sense. thanks

    Multiple machines can’t render the same movie file at the same time. Plus, if your render is interupted or crashes, you’ll still have all of the frames up to that point. Just import your psd sequence and render it as the movie of your choice. It’ll only take a few minutes, since its basically just writing a new file.

    Yep, just import the sequence and render it as a movie. It’s pretty fast.

    On long renders, I always render to a sequence first. That way, if I’ve made a mistake over a few frames or AE crashes, I don’t have to render the whole thing, just the bad frames.

    In other words, what Mike said. 🙂

    There’s no compression on the psd sequences, so you’re good to go. I do all of my stuff as psd sequences then convert to uncompressed Blackmagic quicktimes. I believe .tga .bmp .tif & .iff are all uncompressed as well.
