[maxkid]

Hi guys,

Wonder if you could help me here ,I have got a file which is 60mb - when I do make preview to see my camera animation ,it skips frames while previewing - so when i see my quicktime movie of this hardware render it shows some of th frames as blank........!!!!!!!

well i really do not why!!!!!!!!!

1) my machine - had more than 10 gb free hard disk and 1 gb ram it is HP 2.7 mgz machine ,it works fine.

2) in my main file i have xref 3 other files and even if i merge them that would make them 60mb it still SKIPS THE FRAMES WHEN YOU MAKE PREVIEW COMMAND.

3) I tried previwing in a different machine which is dual xeon ,but i am getting the same problem.

4) i tried changing my vieport settings , choose different driver etc but still same problem

5) my scene contains only geomatry -polygons and camera animating.

6) it is about 1800 frames at 15 fps speed.

any ideas coments -tips would really HELP.

cheers,

have u altered any settings in the make preview window? what is your frame rate settings in this window?

 

also, 15 fps is kinda low, for a smooth animation id have atlease 25 fps.

 

deano!
