      Dear All,

      I am currently trying to make an animation of my model using Premier Elements 7. I have followed a very helpful tutorial and made a sample animation using only 3 scenes and got great results. However I am now trying to produce a 20 scene animation, each time I try to export the animation as tiffs the export fails.

      Any ideas as to why and what I can do to fix it?

      Many thanks in advance!!

        Its a bit of a guess, but your computer might be running out of memory when it tries to export the TIFFs. Might be worth exporting in PNG instead and see if that helps, ive got a feeling they are a little less memory intensive.

          Definitely tif files are rather big and memory hungry.
          PNG files are also "lossless" but way smaller in file size.

            Little off topic- but thanks for resolving my flip-book problem! πŸ˜„ Didn't realize that SU exports animations also as single frames.

            Ever tried to show a client an "off-line" animation? Works great! πŸ˜‰
            cheers, LEGOsketcher

                The other possibility I can think of is whether or not your 20 scene animation is using larger tiff's than your 3 scene animation. If so, that's probably the issue. Even when you just create a single 2D image there's a size limit (which I think is based on your computer's memory rather than SU). W/ .png's I can do up to about 6000x4000 if I really want. Tiff's would probably be somewhat smaller. Not that I would do an animation w/ anything near that large.

                  Thank you one and all. I have explored all of your valuable advice. Exporting PNG's into Premier Elements worked a treat. I now have a beautifuly slick 20 scene animation. It looks great and my client loves it!!!

                  Thanks again, I realy appreciate it!
