Rendering Troubleshooting – Shuts down APP
I have just finished a 12min long film on APP and when i try and render it, it gets half way and then an ‘error’ occurs [i cant, for some reason, remember what the error msg said] and causes Adobe to shut down – i can render a few seconds at a time but even having reached 9min of doing this [very tedious!] it simply wont do it at all now –
– does anyone know what may have caused this / be causing this?
– does it matter that there is already rendered sequences that have been imported from another sequence in the main one i now want to render finally?
– i have also tried to export the project to dvd to burn but again it gets some of the way through and then an ‘error’ and then it quits.
I understand that it may be to do with computer space, there is about 13GB left on the hardrive im working from – is this too little for a film project of 12mins?
Finally, i was advised to Delete all the Preview Files, then re-start the computer, opening the sequence again and rendering like that – but surely if i cant render, this could damage the project…?
If anyone could help with any of this it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

12-mins at DV (assuming you’re using DV) would require around 2.5GB at full resolution. ie. DV25. You will need at least double this amount of space for the application to work comfortably with all the temporary files it creates.
If the error is occuring during the render process then there could be a corrupt clip, either audio or video. If you are using any additional plug-ins for effects, these may also cause problems.
The best way to find the problem is to break down the sequence in half then half again to see if it renders correctly. This way you’ll be able to isolate the errant clip.
Most problems when encoding are a result of errors caused by the codecs in use on your machine but in this case as you cannot complete a full render it is likely the problem lies within a clip.

Hey –
So 12mins on DV / AVI shouldnt be a problem then with 13 GB free space then. Thats something to check off the list list then.
The idea that it could be a clip kind of makes sense in reflection of the project – there were a couple that were imported in that were troublesome initially … so ill check those out and fingers crossed. Id forgotten about that until you mentioned about the clip themselves above.
Perhaps itll be worth going through all of it anyway just to check.
Many thanks.

Many laptops overheat during rendering…prop it up so the bottom gets air curculation. If you have a tower, can you feel if the top is warm during rendering?
