I setup a simple animation in Poser Pro 2012 with 311 frames. The render size is 1920x1080. When I run the "Make Movie" I use png images saved to a file. In 2012, Windows 7 shuts it down and closes it after saving 33 images. I tried it three different times and it closed after 33 images with each try. (first time I started with fame 1, second time I started with frame 34, third time I started with frame 68 ) Windows brings up a small screen that declares there was a memory (tried to write to a certain address and failed) problem and it had to close the program.
I then opened the pz3 file in Poser Pro 2010. It said it would try to open the file since it was newer and opened it successfully. I started the animation with all the same settings and it produced all 311 files without stopping.

Thread set to 12 in both programs (PP2012 and PP2010)

I opened Photoshop and overlaid render 1 from PP2012 with render 1 from PP2010 and they appeared to be identical.

Any thoughts?

Thanks ... I'm doing it now.

There is an easy work around for the PP2012 memory utilization problem.  Just go to render and check the “separate process” box.  PP2012 has a problem that PP2010 does not have.  I have exchange a lot of information with SM and they are aware of the problem.  When the “separate process” box is not checked PP2010 and PP2012 both stack some information in the memory every time a frame is created.  In my test the PP2012 would crash every time there was more than 8100meg of memory in use.  This did not happen in PP2010.  It would continue working even when my system was up to 18000meg (there is 24gig in my machine).

Cool!

That is nice to know.

Thanks.
