On my machine purging the cache or the video memory at best gives me a one second render that stutters and then on the next attempt it gives me the error message again…

this is incredibly frustrating…really cannot use the program at all on days when it gives me this behavior!

thanks…
and yes i did run the updates and i am up to date…
it is just frustrating because sometimes it gives me the error and other times it works beautifully…I never know how it will do each time i start up the program!!

I know this has been an issue but i see no real answer from previous posts..i have disabled the firewall, stopped running any other programs and restarted..but still the error can show up!

Thanks

thanks for your help..i converted all the files into .avi files and all works great..thanks

the files that i am having the problem with seem to be .mov files imported from an iphone…do u think i could convert these to .avi files in AE..or do i need to use media encoder or another program?

and..does it make a difference if my clips are at different frame rates?
thanks so much!!

one more thing of note…
when i try to render it starts off normally and then at a random point as i am watching it render, some of the videos go black..and then soon after the render fails…

my background is OK. the pro animator layer is OK, but some of the various video clips..the iphone clips..go black!!
not sure what to do!!??

i will check that out for future use…
when i saw the file sizes i immediately set it for dual layer..i will try out your idea tonight when i get home…
thanks again

as a follow up..i did export to one of the mpeg-dvd presets and got the two files..the video and audio file..
combined they were just over 5gb so i used encore to create a dual layer disc folder and then used another dvd copying program to build a single layer disc out of that folder..the compression really did not show up too much.
thanks to all..

Not sure what AME is?? is that one of the file formats in media encoder CS5…

I already tried to output to regular avi SD but the file size was still huge..will try some more settings when i get to my machine..

but still wondering what AME is?
thanks
