Lee, thanks as usual for your thorough reply. i have not read it all carefully yet since i am at work, but i can answer a few of your questions: the clips we are trying to render are less than a minute. I have details at home on exactly how many frames & how far it got before freezing. The effects in question: it's actually 3 layered effects i guess. first we convert footage to monochrome/grey scale, then drop in a sepia effect (red giant/magic bullet), then the 3rd pass is the scratches/hair for the old film look. these are being done 1 at a time, rendered, then put the next effect on. i realize this is quite processor intensive- does the rendering process have to re-render each effect each time- like-is it rendering all 3 levels of effects every time? i tend to think not- what's done is done- and now we change it again- but i'm not sure. graphics card is an Nvidea- can't recall the model right now- but it is a 1 gb card.
the processor is the i7-920 btw, and i'm thinking the ram is the DDR3 variety-but don't quote me on that yet! And we are using CS4- for some reason I thought we had 5. does that make a difference in that we are using the 64-bit version of Windows 7? I'm hoping for an "AHA" moment here... looking forward to the next round of diagnostics from you- this is actually quite interesting to me. By the way- my husband is the "artist" of our team in this case- he just wants to film & edit without all this technical "nonsense". I am pretty much the "tech-girl" since i know more about that end of things (not nearly as much as the folks here in the group). --- In [email protected], Lee Menningen <l_mennin...@...> wrote: > > Adriane mentioned that manually rendering, even in bits and pieces, fails, > unless the duration selected is very short, but no mention was made re: how > short these were.
