        With Windows file system Fat32, the maximum file size for a single file is 4GB and your pictures show that you crossed this border...

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

                Hi bikerchris

                Checkout Magix Moviemaker pro πŸ‘ πŸ‘
                (my choice)
                I have tried them all even the hi-price stuff too.
                Here is a link and demos to try too.
                IMO very easy to use and good value

                  Cheers for that dtrarch, I think the problem is a limitation with sketchup, but I just want some confirmation that others have had similar problems, and then I can rest!

                  Cheers,

                  Chris

                    I know this is a year old, but I'm having the same experience. And it's truly frustrating...no error message...nothing. Just no file to be found.
                    What I don't get is how Windows Movie Maker comes into play. To me, I ask Sketchup to generate a file.
                    This means it goes and gets Movie Maker to do it's work?
                    Why is sketchup so lame- even Pro- it seems year after year the capabilities do not increase.
                    It's hard to believe that I cannot get sketchup to make anything over 1GB video file out of the box. I've got to go back to my team and tell them I cannot do this.

                    So I need to go and spend more money on a video making program? And then what happens, sketchup automatically looks for that to make the video? there are no options under "export video" to select the video engine.
                    Maddening.

                      Plus, what I don't get is that Bikerchris has a file that's 201Mb. (see his "progress dialog box" screenshot) Not 2GB!
                      You can't even get a 200 MB file generated from SU??? That is FAR from a large file when you're talking about video.

                        SAME THING HAPPENS TO ME! 😞 so annoying,, that at least a error message doesnt come up at least. win7 64 4gig ram. so 4gigs is the max for the vid size i take it? guess only fix is, to make multiple sketchup file copys and then doing it in parts, and then put vids together in some movie making program. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK9IULYXvTU

                          Something I started doing was using MP4's, as the file size is much smaller - the sacrifice being the quality sometimes, but it's good enough for my needs.

                          What you mentioned is what I did though, just stitch them together in some movie editing software. Hey ho!
