Thanks for the tip… not sure if I will go back a version — my sense is that I would require an XML export to get the CC2015 version to open in CC2014 and lord only knows what else will corrupt.
Slowly getting some traction, anyway… found that I am able to render tiny bite-size nibbles of the timeline as Previews — anywhere from one frame at a time up to as much as 30-35 seconds. After a full days’ work, I had 10 minutes of the show in the green, so attempted to export a ProRes422 segment. So this morning, after an all-night render, I found that AME had crashed because it had filled the target disk without completing the export — get this — 10 minutes of 1080i2997 was going to be more than 645 GB!
Something is ridiculously wrong here. Trying a 4 minute DNx220 MXF export, but I see that the render bar is crawling along stretching out 18 minutes of machine time into a couple of hours. I would ordinarily expect about a single 5GB file, but we’ll see what cockamamie result lands or crashes this time.
