  • trying to render to quicktime movie

    Posted by Trace Burroughs on December 19, 2008 at 8:46 pm

    I have the demo version of Cinema 4D, but it’s fully functional except that the Quicktime output is restricted to 600×400. I see the “render” column in the menu, and I found the rendering settings. But I don’t see a button that says “render”. There’s render objects, render region, redner preview and and other stuff like that but I don’t see where to render the the project to quicktime. Under file and “export” it just has listing for other 3d formats.

    Can you help?

    Thanks

    Trace

    What you’re looking for is the curiously named “render to picture viewer”.

    When I toggle “render to picture viewer” a little screen comes up, but first there is a message”There is no file name specified for the rendering image. Do you want to continue without saving?” If I say go ahead, the animation is rendered in the little screen, but does not ask about where to save the file. (Where do I go to save the “file image name”? (the project has a name, but I guess that’s not enough)

    Do you understand what’s going on here?

    Thanks

    You have to enter a file name/location in Render Settings>Save>Path.

    Thanks…(their help files suck)

    How do I change the size of the stage or what ever they call it. Not for viewing but the actual size.(when I render at the allowed 640×400 demo size, it squashes the quicktime, so I want to adjust the stage so it’s in proportion to the 640×400.

    (I clicked on project settings under EDIT inthe top menu, but the dialog box offers very little to adjust, and specifically not the size of the stage….project, or whatever they call it)

    Thanks

    At 640×400 the film aspect should be at 1.6, but it should set that automatically so I don’t know why you’re getting a squashed render.
