oh okay never mind. i feel like an idiot. avi is video for windows like i thought. probably should have checked before i posted. anyways still i would like to know why my full res quicktimes always freeze on me. answers/solutions?

hmmmmm, i was checking the render que for other formats to see if they work and I couldn’t find avi. i know that I can export as an avi but it’s not here in the render que. is avi short for something?

i checked half resolution and it’s just aweful. it totally makes my project look like D work, when at full res it’s A quality. so if anyone knows how i could render out at full res and be able to watch the file that’d be great. thanks guys, please help 🙁

thanks to everyone who’s posted so far. I’ve been editing some other footage (heavy on the effects) and I used the render que. I rendered the file out as a quicktime file. then when I went to open it, it opens, but when I go to hit play my computer froze then shut down.

any ideas why this is? is it my computer? or quicktime?

aside from quicktime what would be the best quality format that I should render it out as?

also, I’ve had this problem before and the only thing that I could do was lower the resolution from full to half when I used to export them. It always plays at half res, but at full it always freezes. just thought that might help someone figure out the problem
