Clip shortened in render
3 minute video rendered mpeg2, watched it and it's over only
2/3 of the way through? Any ideas? Thanks |
So you are saying you have a 3 minute clip, you render to MPEG2, and you only have the first 2 minutes worth? Did you possibly have a loop region around the first 2 minutes and, when rendering, only rendered the loop region?
|
Edward, no, definitely no loop regions. There are a lot of edits in the piece, to the point that it would barely play in the preview window but I don't see how that would impact this problem.
|
Edward,
You're unbelievable. I've had that very thing happen to me (several times) but I didn't recall that as a possible solution. How do you remember all this stuff? Do you have a little 'pre-render checklist' that you use (deselect loop region, select resample if desired, unmute all tracks, etc)? |
Michael, what happens if you render to DV-AVI first and then render THAT file to MPEG?
|
Patrick, no specific checklist. I DO make sure I do not have a loop region selected before I start to render (unless I specifically want to selectively render a small section). Otherwise, just a quick double-check of the "Render - As" checkboxes (mainly have to determine whether or not to include markers!)
|
Edward, I haven't tried that but I can, what would that be accomplishing?
|
Just wondering if there was a complex area that the MPEG2 render was getting hung on and, therefore, wasn't finishing. A loop area is still the most logical reason, though. Kind of grasping at straws here.
|
I'll try some other things and check for consistency.
Thanks very much |
This will probably sound silly as well, but check your free disk
space on your temp drive. |
Rob, are you referring to a 'temporary file folder'?
|
Yes, it points to a directory on a harddisk. This disk might be full?
(or your MPEG's final output directory) |
My drives are set up as follows
100 gig split 20% C: / 80% E: 100 gig H: 160 gig I: External Firewire drive My operating system is on C: (space remaining on this partition is low) Vegas is on E: Captured Files/Projects are on H: sometimes I: Also, moderately edited projects max out the CPU when previewing, P4 2.53. Ram is running at 50% of capacity. I can't believe I have to render everything all the time just to see if a single edit was what I was looking for. |
Can I redirect where it points to? I don't want it pointing to my primary drive. I thought I had all Preferences, Properties, etc set up right, maybe not.
|
Yes you can, just follow the instructions in the manual/help.
