Thank you for responding and giving some instructions…it is so appreciated…
The strangest thing happened after my panic attack of desperation…. after my first experience of 28:30 taking all night to render. The next one stopped at 23%..I cancelled. Here is what is strange…today I tried again and got all 4 – 28:30 shows rendered to .mov – all seemed to go smooth and at what seems reasonable time frame. I think just over an hour each. Big difference from 12 hours on the first. I have no bloody idea why. I didn’t do anything different, except cry a lot, pray deeply.
Looking at your suggestions, max render Q. was unchecked, frame blending was also unchecked —Use previews is also unchecked – out of curiosity what does that do? Next time I will check it. What I left checked, it is a default – ‘key frame every 90 frames’, I have no idea what that is? I just basically left the defaults until I understand more before changing anything. I did have Source range ‘Entire Sequence’ I do check that output and source so they match. Next time I will check use previews…see how it goes.
Could the processor, graphic card or something along those lines not be strong enough?
