Can't save!!! PLS HELP!!!

bestantreas · Post by **bestantreas** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 8:21 am

I have recenlty created a AMV with WMM. As always I clicked on File>Save Movie File>[I chose (High quality video (large)]>Next.

Everything is alright till it reaches 44%. When it goes to 44% it stops the saving and the remaining time starts to increase instead of decrease. It's not going to "Not Responding Status" it just stays at 44%.

I tried other setting to see if that's the problem, but the same.

What shall I do?

I have that problem too, it's probably your computer's RAM amount.

Either download a RAM "enhancer" or save your AMV in parts first, then you reimporting them back in you will be able to save the entire vid.

That's what I always did.

The NO 3 from FAQ worked, I found where the problem is, but I can't fix it.

Cornwiggle-Your way seems effective, I'm doing it now

Yeah I had do it that way for a long time.

It can cut your quality quite a bit though if you do it more than twice though, so don't do that. Twice should be the max. Once to make the parts, second to do the entire vid.

Wiggle dude, didn't I say that just in different words?

yeah RAM makes a huge difference.... but would ya know that evil program still does it, just less often.

It's not because of the save. When you cram your timeline, you'll notice that when watch it some parts kinda "freeze" because it's so crowded. When you save it shows it how it was actually made, it's kinda hard to explain.

For example, in my last vid, I had a part where I guy got thrown into a cliff, overlayed with a shot of a car zooming. It always kinda clammed up there in the timeline so I thought "Just too much" and left it.

Then when I saved it....that part, there was an extra 5 or so seconds at the end of him getting slammed into a cliff (people reacting). I was like "Hey, I thought I cut that!" but I guess I forgot and the timeline didn't even let me notice until after I saved it.

Kinda like that.

Yea, if you don't have enough RAM or processing power and are trying to do too much your results on export are often different. It's the same way with many high-end pieces of software too - Premiere has done it to me a few times.
