Hey there - any help would be appreciated. I'm running Poser 4.03 on my 400MHz Mac laptop - I've got over 500 MB of RAM. Whenever I make an animation and use the make movie command, it freezes when it is done making the movie. The movie is fine but I have to restart my computer. I'm exporting using Animation, anti-aliasing on, 29.97 fps, keyframe every 24. I've also tried without keyframing, without anti-aliasing and at 30 fps. I've also tried it on my G4. Same story. Any help! It's driving me bonkers! Thanks, Rob

Quicktime 6 is not compatible with poser. Back to quicktime 5 its better way for fix your problem. Andygraph

I have also this problem. I work with QuickTime 5, and delete QT 6.

Heres a better way - do not render directly into a movie - you have much more control over the final movie if you render into a sequence of single tiffs. Then load the sequence into Quicktime, and export it as movie - but you need QuicktimePro in order to make this. The advantage is that you can test any type of compression you want - if you render directly into a movie and when you recompress it, you will get unpredictable results. Mungo

What a pain huh? Don't delete Quicktime 6, you will need it to view Quicktime 6 movies. So make a seperate extension set with 6 and one with 5, Run Poser under QT 5 If you forget and render a movie under QT 6, after the movie renders, you can then force quit Poser. This will at least keep your system from freezing up.
