Simon Edmondson Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 After a long period of illness I am back trying to finish my project. Working on an IMac 3.3 under OSX Snow Leopard, using V15J. Trying to output a test of the current revisions. It will render as a sequence of TGA files but, it won't render as QT file ? The render crashes and the program closes. I get the following message, "Format error, try adjusting the settings in Output/options/settings" I have looked under Tools/options and tried to find the required bit using properties, but to no avail. I think the problem might arise because I was using Final Cut Pro the other day and outputting using using a different codec ??? Could anyone kindly advise as to the error of my ways and how to correct it ? regards simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted August 1, 2011 Hash Fellow Share Posted August 1, 2011 Welcome back! Hope you are better. When you go to render go to the "Output" tab To the right of "Format" you choose your output type (Quicktime, Targa...) (Quicktime is only available in 32-bit A:M) Then expand the Format triangle. To the right of "Save Options" click on "Set" The dialog that comes up lets you choose codec parameters. For Quicktime try "Animation" first. It will make a huge file. If that works then try others like H.264 or Sorenson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted August 2, 2011 Hash Fellow Share Posted August 2, 2011 I notice you are using v15. I'd be interested to hear if the same thing happens with v16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been able to buy V16 yet ( Illness ) but it is one of the coming tasks. After I finish this project. regards simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
