Hi MatCreator, I do stuff like that successfuly all the time. However, I have created problem files crash at certain points - but are fixable. So here are some questions: Are you rendering using the batch queue? That will work better for large renders. (handles RAM differently) Also, since you mention that it always occurs at the same point, there may be a problem an object/filter/plug-in combination. Does the file crash in the same spot when doing a 72 dpi render or a 300 dpi render at a smaller size? Mark
