Motion freezing mid render

Can anyone help, this is fairly urgent. I have a project that has to be in monday, whenever I render it, it basically stops about halfway and exports the movie there, this means theres no sound aswell (i've exported audio only and it does the entire movie fine). Is this some kind of problem with running out of memory or something? It gets to about halfway on the progress bar then bam! my video appears, rendered... but its only about half of it. (when I'm doing this i'm exporting at third res and draft settings)
Really urgently need to find a solution to this.
The videos used were all .mxf files, but I used a plugin for quicktime to export them all to .movs, they play in the timeline fine.

Noticed that "video and audio" is greyed out if i select the videos with the audio turned on and try to render just that selection http://imgur.com/ikAe8
Also noticed this strange line in the timeline before the group - any idea what this is?

The audio is all switched to "on" aswell, some cut away elements are above them in the timeline with audio off.. could this cause trouble? http://imgur.com/BgdGR
I have an .mp3 of the audio as if i select the entire project and export audio only its fine, but this region... it'll only let me do video only. I can solve this by exporting them both and then merging in fcp but my main issue is its still freezing and exporting prematurely before the end of the render

  • "Water Pane" effect freezes mid-animation

    The "water pane" effect freezes mid-animation, but video continues to play as normal behind it.  how can i rest my effects/plugins to default values, or get this effect working again?

    The Effects > Distortion > Water Pane effect is broken. There is a looping clip that's 3 seconds 24 frames long. Looping is set in the timing pane, but the clip wasn't stretched out to the whole length of the effect/project.
    I fixed this problem.
    You can download the replacement here:
    http://sight-creations.com/fxexchange/Water_Pane_Fixed.zip
    Unzip and install entire "Water Pane Fixed" folder in:
    Macintosh HD > UserFolder > Movies > Motion Templates > Effects > Distortion
    If any part of that path is missing (your Effects folder may be empty if you haven't installed any other 3rd party effects and/or you don't have Motion 5) create the folders required.

  • My iPod keeps 'freezing' mid play, even after re-booting.

    My iPod keeps 'freezing' mid play, even after re-booting.

    Do you have a 6G Nano?  If so, this is usually a sign that your headphones are not plugged all the way in.  Make sure you cannot see any silver still showing from the headphone's plug.  It may require a little extra force to get the headphones to become fully inserted.  You should hear a sort of clicking noise indicating that they have been fully seated.
    Also check the headphone port from a damage or debris.

  • I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb.  The problem I'm having is that it will not more than about 5.4gb worth of songs.  The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync.

    I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb.  The problem I'm having is that it will not sync more than about 5.4gb worth of songs.  The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync process.  The hard drive has been upgraded, it has a new logicboard (with 128mb RAM), new housing, battery, hold / headphone jack.  Basically the only original parts are the bezel, click wheel, screen, and data ribbons. Have attempted the 3Rs and have also tried to isolate potentially corrupt audio files and remove them, but this did not seem to be the primary cause.  The sync failure consistently happens at just under a 1000 songs (5.4gb) and then it starts to error (-69) any song after that.  Your advise would be enthusiastically received.

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

  • My iMessage freezes mid-typing and I have to restart phone to unfreeze it

    My iMessage freezes mid-typing, and I have to restart my iPhone 4s to get it working again. What is happening and what do I do?

    Hello cconklinhmb,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like one app is freezing. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. Since this is a pre installed app and you have already restarted the iPhone. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • My Old iPod freezes mid-song

    I have a 40Gb circa 2003 (old-age generation!!) iPod, while using out and about, it freezes mid-song, runs down battery and switches off. When I connect via dock at home, all OK, it recharges and plays through my iMac OK. But it will lock up if I try to play remotely! Please Help! Will it be expensive to repair or does it just need a new battery? (Like my hearing aid - those batteries never last this long!)
    Thanks

    Try disabling hard disk use.
    (Itunes -> Edit -> Preferences -> Ipod -> General)
    I've tried most of the answers suggested on these discussion boards - I've restored to factory settings (several times), I've tried running chkdsk on the Ipod from Windows XP, I've rolled back to ITunes v4 (the one on the cd I got with the Ipod) and none of them worked.
    Then I just unchecked the box to allow the Ipod to be used as a hard disk and (so far) that seems to have done the trick (I've played several albums without any skipping or freezing so far).
    I'm still on Itunes v4. I'll try upgrading to v5 or v6 and see if it still works.
    Good luck.

  • IPod freezes mid-way through tracks

    starting this morning, my iPod started randomly freezing mid-way through tracks. the track will continue to play, but the bar tracking the duration stops advancing. when the track ends it stops. when i touch the buttons or wheel nothing happens. to play music again i have to reset the ipod. sometimes it repeats this problem in an hour, sometimes i get several hours of use before it freezes again.
    this happened with my previous ipod, in early 2006, and after a month the internal disc stopped working and i had to trade it in and buy this one. can i fix it now, or am i doomed to lose an ipod a year, just after the warranty ends?

    Try disabling hard disk use.

  • Motion freezing a lot

    Somehow I manage to make motion (and my entire computer) completely freeze quite a lot. This often seems to happen as a result of a lot of changing of settings. It never used to be this flakey. Any suggestions anyone please?

    the first link mentions Patrick's post.. and I quote..
    "There are ways to improve Motion's interactive performance.
    1) If you're using Ram Preview, clear it periodically.
    2) Keep your render quality at Draft or Good until the very end.
    3) Text is especially draining of resources in Motion 3. Turn off layers you've finished with to improve performance while you work in other areas.
    4) Definitely turn off Timeline and Layer thumbnails.
    5) Don't have any layer selected when playing - the thumbnail for the Inspector Tab has to be generated when you stop."
    Also, do you have any illustrator files in your comp? or any wma files in your browser? Have you tried trashing your preference file and restoring permissions? Is your drive close to full? and so on....

  • Freeze+labels+render=dropped video

    So I have this section of video that I use segments of freeze frame, while adding a text line along the bottom, then some arrows pointing to structures. Total of 4 video tracks. Then I add transitions, so the labels, etc. blend in instead of jumping on the screen. Everything seeems fine, so I render the video to view it. Then, somehow, I am unable to view the primary video freeze, and only the text and arrows remain. The freeze is still in the timeline, unscathed, but I only see a black screen with label and arrows in the canvas. If I pause the video and place the slider inside the problem area, again, no freeze, just arrows. This remains, too, if I export the video to quicktime.
    Strange thing is that if I try this multiple ways, occasionally I get the entire segment of freeze deleted, and occasionally it is just a few frames. Any thoughts?

    So, here's my process...
    1) create freeze frame, load into V1
    2) create text label via Title, load into V2
    3) create arrow, via Title, load into V3 (this is done by changing font to Wingding, or whatever, typing arrow character, then using the motion tab of Title to rotate arrow and Control to arrange in screen
    4) then add transitions to text and arrow
    -when I view the titles in the canvas while editing, the background is checkered, telling me it is transparent
    So, now when I browse through individual frames in the viewer, I can see the underlying freeze frame along with the text and arrow, displayed in Viewer. This tells me that my transparency settings are correct. Again, at this point I can slow-mo through the unrendered and everything looks fine.
    Now I render. A couple things may happen.
    a) the underlying freeze frame is lost during the period of the arrow track (in the viewer)
    b) the underlying freeze frame goes to ~50% opacity in the viewer
    Either way, the freeze frame returns if I undo my render. If I delete the freeze frame track from the timeline, then reinsert the source, again I can view the freeze frame while unrendered, but lose it once rendering occurs.
    Thanks for helping with this!

  • Motion freezing at 92%

    Hey Guys,
    Just started using Motion - amazing software.
    However, in my first video project, the export seems to freeze/hang at 92% without fail. It doesn't crash, because I can cancel the render and continue using Motion - but it just stops at 92% and won't budge.
    Anyone else experiencing this? What could be causing it?
    My Computer:

    Hi,
    welcome to the posts
    from your crash log it seems that the fxplugin is causing the problem. Are you sure that you have the latest version of this installed?

  • Intermittent random freezing (mid 2012 MBP)

    For the past year or so my Macbook Pro (mid 2012) has suffered from random freezes which require a hard reset.
    Often these will occur only roughly once a week, but in the last couple of days (incidently since updating to 10.9.3, although such bursts have occured in the past and then settled down) it has been happening 4 to 5 times a day, getting to the point of being seriously disruptive.
    I have, over the past few months, made several attempts to find the cause in vain. I am an experienced Mac user with a good understanding of computers, and I've never found a problem so mysterious to me. I'll break down first the symptoms and then what I have done to tye and find the cause.
    Symptoms: Normally I will first notice that web pages aren't loading, but I can switch apps without problem. However, if I try and close an app or open another, that app then starts to hang. Progressively, everything starts to hang and I can no longer even switch apps, and everything gives me a spinning beachball. Eventually, even sound/music cuts out. Only a hard reset (holding down the power key) saves it.
    Diagnosis: I have run all types of hardware checks, from apple's built in tests (fsck), RAM tests such as memtest, and third party testing suites which have checked the HD, RAM, CPU, GPU etc. All of them have come back 100% clean. I have repaired permissions, which also has no effect.
    This made me think it could be a software issue. However, the crashes display no discernable pattern, and are completely (as far as I can see) un-reproducible. They have occured while I have been using a wide range of apps, and don't seem to be triggered by any particular action; e.g. they can occur while I am blankly reading a webpage or a pdf document. Further, the console shows absolutely nothing. The log messages appear completely normal, sometimes there are even no messages corresponding to within several minutes of the crash.
    I haven't been able to verify if it is restricted to my user name, since generally the crashes are so intermittent I would have to use another username for several days, if not weeks, to really check this - something than is not practical given that I need the laptop to work on.
    Does anyone have any idea what could be causing the issue, or anything further I could try to diagnose it? I am reluctant to take it to an applestore, as it is out of warranty and I can't think of any tests they could try that I have not.

    An Apple store genius bar appointment and evaluation is for FREE!  You have no idea what type of tests they may have, so make an appointment.
    Thanks for pointing that out. Until very recently I lived in a country where there are no Apple stores nor Genius bars, so I wasn't aware of that.
    I've tried safe boot, but as I said the problem is intermittent enough that it's not clear if it helps, and working continuously in safe boot to see isn't really an option.
    No - there are no kernel panics, just the unexplained freezes.

  • Final cut to Motion Freezes

    I'm trying to send a clip to Motion, but every time I try to send something, I get the color wheel, and Final Cut freezes. The clip is only 6 seconds long, and Final cut used to send things without a problem. Anybody have any advice?

    Would be helpful to know what format your clip is (remember that formats like H.264, Mpeg4 etc are delivery not editing formats) and if you have tried things like [trashing preferences|http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm] or creating a new project and import the clip in the newly created project.
    If you need to keep going as an alternative you may export your 6 seconds as QT movie (not conversion) self-contained, which will not affect quality and import that in Motion.

  • Freeze during render

    Hi
    Have the same problem using iDVD as well as FCE 3.5.1, so I'm hoping someone can help in this forum too.
    Whilst trying to render video in iDVD, it gets past the menu and transition stage, soon after it starts rendering video the whole computer freezes, so just the application not responding, but the whole computer needs to be rebooted to get it to work again.
    What I have worked out, is that it could be hardware related, one of my back up drives has a totally clean install of 10.4.10, so booted up from that and installed iLife 08, ran iMovie, then iDVD, the same process I used from the main HD, menus and transitions rendered, not long after the mov file started rendering the whole computer froze, exactly the same as it was doing in FCE whilst rendering.
    Is this likely to be hardware rather than software? Couldn't reinstall iDVD 06 and get that working, so not sure what 08 installs to prevent me from opening it up.
    Never used to have these problems before I upgraded my processor or graphics card, is either of these likely to be a cause?
    Gavin

    You're in a weird situation as far as iLife '08 in that the latest version of iMovie is not supported on a G4 but iDVD07 apparently is. Although I have yet to see anyone post here who has successfully installed iLife'08 onto a G4. Might not work properly on a G4 at all.
    Tell us exactly what you upgraded and/or installed onto your G4.
    I also own a G4. However I won't even attempt to load iLife '08 on a working G4 PowerMac ....except thru the the following approach ..... simply to test it beforehand:

  • Motion files wont render properly via qmaster

    I have created animation in motion including some psd files. I have set up the render farm on two computers and its working just fine except one small issue. When the animation is being rendered(using compressor) on another computer the place where psd files suppose to be is empty. There is a hole in the animation and everything else is just fine. When the render is being done on the computer where the animation has been created everything looks fine at the end. I think the problem is that the other computer needs psd files and since psd files are on other machine the animation comes out strange.
    Message was edited by: Maya and qmaster

    I have solved my problem with the rendering of the motion templates in fcp
    You can now select the render quality of motion templates in the preferences. I did not know this and the settings by default are set at normal. You can choose draft, normal, or best. Best so I set the quality to best and bingo. problem solved.
    Setting Render Preferences for Motion Master Templates and Motion Projects
    Final Cut Pro 6.0.2 is preset to render Motion templates and Motion projects at Normal quality. If the render quality is not adequate, you can change the render setting for Motion templates and projects in the Render Control tab of the User Preferences window.
    When Motion master template and project rendering is set to Normal, Final Cut Pro 6.0.2 renders your templates at the same quality seen when rendering the templates at Normal quality in Motion.

  • Motion freezes machine solid!

    I'm working on a series of longer-than-ideal web videos (from 1 minute to 14 minutes) which are 560 x 208. But at random points - especially about half an hour into exporting, the machine locks up - no mouse movement, nothing! I have to hold the button to restart.
    The videos are green-screen presenter over photos and moving text. Because it's a non-standard size it was hard to build these projects in FCP (no preview at all). I'm using dvMatte Blast for the keying, static images in the background (optimized more or less to the correct pixel dimensions for the project), and a light bit of text animation.
    The crash log show nothing. Any ideas?

    My suspicion is memory - you might run /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor to check on your memory usage.
    Motion 1.0 was very bad with this. My workaround at the time was to put the project into FCP and render sections of it (mark in/mark out/select section/render selection) and save after each render. That way if I crashed, I didn't have to start from scratch...
