Hello, how are you? I was wondering if anyone else is having issues trying to render 720x480 30fps animation image files when there is a sound file in the mix. I use the sound file only for reference to pose my actors and then reintroduce it later in Premiere. I have tried this a couple of times and my render gets close to the end and says not enough memory. I am going to try clearing the sound file next time, but just wanted to know if someone has tried this before.

I've done this many times, with 640 x 480. (Used VideoMach to re-assemble the result after some image processing.) No problem at that size. I don't think I've ever used 720x480, though.

Thanks much! A little confirmation always helps!

I've made animations with sound files at different resolutions, it all worked after installing Poser 5 SR4.1. Poser 5 had a known memory leak issue with rendering animations, it is supposed to be fixed with SR4.1. Could that be the problem?

Well, I'm using Poser 4.0 Pro Pack. I have a 699 frame render going at 720x480, motion blur, anti alias and it has been going about 16 hours and it's on frame 164. I am making an image sequence and it seems to be doing fine. This time I used the 'clear sound' option under the 'animation' menu. Previous renders have krapped out on me, so I hope this solves the problem. The things I do for 20 seconds of animation!
