Is there a chance that your external drive is formatted FAT instead of NTFS?

This is my first time looking at the project…it’s one .ai file and six quicktimes, all in the 250-350MB range. I’d suspect that’s what’s causing the thing to crash, but I don’t normally work with that much material.

No luck with RED 4. Still crashes a third of the way into a 900 frame comp. Anyone willing to take a look at the project?

We use RED 3 both as standalone and plugin for MC Adrenaline. In this case I think it was the standalone that was having problems rendering HD comps.

Can we ever expect Tim Wilson to weigh in on any of this?

Usually closing the bin that the sequence is in, then reopening takes care of it.

Try a matte choker?

I’ve had this happen many times. I think you need to render both your RED effect and the dissolve at the same time rather than doing the dissolve after the fact. The keep keyframe time option in RED may also have something to do with it.
If that doesn’t work, I just put whatever clip I’m going to on V2 and slide it backwards however many frames I want the dissolve to be. If I want a 30 frame dissolve, then I make sure there’s 31 frames of the V2 clip before the end of the clip on V1 and add a 30 frame dissolve to V2 only.

Pg. 454 of the manual says:
“The Glitter Alpha Map Layer menu determines how the glitter uses alpha channel information. The Alpha Map works in conjunction with the Glitter Preserve Alpha parameter to determine how much glitter to apply within the alpha channel area. You can use the Filter Layer, or use one of the layers below the filtered layer in the timeline by choosing 1st Below or 2nd Below.”

The definition of rotoscoping is:
“Manipulating or painting on individual frames.”
You could draw one by hand using the spline tool, or maybe use a BCC Motion Key like in RED 4 — haven’t tried it myself though.
I assume the Glitter filter has Pixel Chooser or Region controls? Try messing around with those and note what happens.
