I am trying to render a large animation file. I have plenty of hard drive space and the file is not open elsewhere yet I still get this error notification. I have included two screen shots: one with the error message and the other with my animation render options. Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks so much for the assist!

I haven't had this one. But Vue always (and automatically) shows a warning a little like the first screenshot, about checking for disk space.

In a case like yours I'd try some different things just to isolate the culprit: Try writing to another disk. Try a different file format (quicktime e.g., works well). Try writing a short test animation, low quality etc.

I received a reply from the folks at Vue. I just needed to change compression type. Works very well now.

Thanks,

Personally I would never ever render any animation to anything other than image files, then compile image files into whatever format you need. You can see each frame and can tell if something is going wrong or stop and switch objects around sometimes without having to start the animation over. If you run out of space you can switch everything over to a new drive or directory and start from the point you left off.

Hi Fleshoff,

Excellent advice. Thank you!
