Thanks for the replies.
I have 93GB available the hard drive I am exporting to via firewire and 43GB on my internal which the program runs from. I have 1.5GB memory and a 2.7Mhz P4 processor and an ATI 9600 card (not that powerful but it has been handling plenty of other graphics intensive programs).
It doesn’t stop exactly in the same place evertime… the “render workspace” makes it to somewhere between 29% and 43% of the sequence, and the export movie makes it further to 87% to 94%.
The Audio is a WMA file and the stills are Photoshop .PSD files BUT, I have been wondering if they are too big for the program or my computer to process… they saved in photoshop as large as 12MB, not sure why (I am going to see about reducing file size without reducing quality), I cut most of the picture away and have just a composite “puppet” made up of 2 to 8 layers depending on the still… I took photos and in Photoshop cut parts of bodies out, arms, legs, heads, clothes ect and then assembled them as layers to create a puppet that could then be manipulated and then saved in each different pose… but I notice now these puppets are 1-12MB in file size…
Does PPro have problem working with a series of large stills?
Would it make a difference to save in a different format? My thinking was to use Adobe format throughout.
Being new to PPro, I have checked out the forums and tutorials but haven’t found anything that elaborates on importing and using stills and what problems may occur if you don’t do it a certain way… I would be happy to write one if I could ever figure it out myself…
….more importing of wisdom from longtime users would be great! Thanks for your Help!
