Re; Animation output - DOES NOT create AVI file when it's a
-
Maybe you need a different editor then. Movie Maker is old. 2Gb was the file size limit older versions of Windows had. I used Movie Maker on my old machine to work with video files but when I moved to the Win7 machine, I bought Camtasia for screen capture and it has a much nicer editor.
-
Thanks for that Dave, I'll check Camtasia out. It is frustrating that my colleague with virtually the same spec machine as me, can import 6GB AVI files into Movie Maker.
I'm surprised if I'm the only one that finds this a bit annoying - having spent quite a while making a nice scene based animation in Sketchup, I'm unable to show anyone unless they also have sketchup
-
Maybe he has a newer version of Movie Maker? I don't know what would be the cause of the difference otherwise.
-
I'm going to ring him now to find out any spec differences. He's a friend though and when I built mine, he pretty much copied my rig!
-
He didn't respond.
Incidentally, I've now found that Windows Movie Maker has a Sketchup AVI specific limit of 1GB
-
Hmmmm...
Get Camtasia.
-
May have no choice - do you have the £220 studio version?
-
I have Camatasia Studio version 8. I didn't want to spend the money but it was well worth it in the end. The quality of the videos and the ability to do some nice editing stuff made a big difference for me.
-
Thanks Dave, much appreciated. I've deduced that I have a problem with the sketchup install. I don't know whether a plugin is effecting it, but it's making any AVI output files that exceed 1GB, completely unusable. Also, if I try to make just one AVI output file of all the scenes, sketchup appears to be creating the slides, and then gets to the end and produces NO FILE. I have even found that if I cancel the process part way through, the file DOES appear.
I'm quite annoyed to put it mildly.
-
Did you try disabling plugins to make sure it isn't a problem caused by one of them? If that doesn't change anything, try reinstalling SketchUp from a fresh download.
-
I have disabled all plugins apart from Twilight. Next up seems to be to re-install
-
Do you need Twilight running?
-
Hi all,
Quick and easy question, what experiences have you had with AVI file sizes and what's the biggest you've been able to create.
Also, have you ever had the slide creation process occur without issue, only to find that at the end of it, you are not provided with an AVI file OR error messages?
Thanks!
Chris

I disabled it, restarted sketchup, same result
-
I've also now restarted the PC and still the same thing occurs.
-
With Windows file system Fat32, the maximum file size for a single file is 4GB and your pictures show that you crossed this border...

Answer in your new topic

Quite right, I'm using NTFS though, and have had other single file types with sizes exceeding 20GB and over.
