Hi Thanks for the welcome and response!
The delay has always been set on 0 and works perfectly when ran manually. I know i may also have the option to either break avi files into smaller chunks (X No scenes per movie) or the images joined using a 3rd party program, though i would rather do this within sketchup itself purely for the reason that i have done this in the past and it has worked perfectly.
Now saying that i've only just recently updated my PC and before i would have less scenes with 4 secs transition and slow all this down using windows media player, which would cause stuttering in the end result. But now i've purchased a slightly higher spec. pc so that i could insert more scenes to make a smoother animation, and its a bit frustating with it not working after the investment! i'm sure you understand my pain!!
I restarted my pc started the animation at 7am GMT its now 18.42GMT completed 77% but not showing an estimated file size. Ive set this transition on 2 secs which seems ok when ran manually.
The width is 3400 height 1912, 16:9 frame rate 30
