Exporting Problem!

cafejava · Post by **cafejava** » Mon Mar 03, 2008 8:17 pm

This has been talked about before, but I need help and will give info. I use a mac leopard operating system. I use Anime Studio 5.

When ever I try to export a movie, it will quit. It even quits on 48 frame movies! I've tried exporting in SWF and Quicktime! What is going on? How can I fix this?

Use the batch renderer.

File > Batch Export.

I only see export. I don't use pro so batch export is probably on pro only

I have this problem as well, tried the batch export and the program closes promptly. any new advice?

This is probably an incompatibility with the latest QuickTime update. The issue seems to be less when you use None as the compression type. So, use Batch Export and None as compression type.

This needs to be fixed.

I have a temporary solution, that hopefully works (it worked for me).

I have written an Applescript droplet for rendering Anime Studio Pro files, outside the Anime Studio graphical user interface mode. The droplet assumes you have Anime Studio Pro installed in the normal location (/Applications/Anime Studio Pro/). The application is tested with Anime Studio Pro 5.5, on Mac OS X 10.5.2 Leopard, and is supplied as-is.

renderASP.zip

You can download the droplet as a ZIP archive, unzip it, and put it wherever you want to. I put it in the Anime Studio Pro folder. Create a shortcut on the Dock (by dragging the icon on the Dock), so you can easily access this utility as an application.

Just drop one or more .anme files on the droplet, and it will convert your files to Quicktime video in the same folder as the .anme files.

Here is the script source code:

Code: Select all

on open theItems
	set ASP to "'/Applications/Anime Studio Pro/Anime Studio Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/Anime Studio'"
	repeat with x in theItems
		set theFile to (quoted form of the POSIX path of x)
		set theCmd to (ASP & " -r " & (theFile as string))
		do shell script (theCmd)
	end repeat
end open

If you want to change the render options (you will need to write a new AppleScript for that), please have a look at this topic:

Command-Line Rendering

PS As is usually the case, this is a small hack that is very useful for most (Mac) users. I just like it that way

Is this in reference to the recent quicktime version 7.4.1, or version 7.4? I'm only wondering because Apple claims to have resolved "compatablity issues with third party software" with the .1 version.

I had Apple's own screen saver crash on me this afternoon.

There seems to be some issues with core Animation.

I must mention that I have some third-party haxies installed, which could cause problems as well.

BTW I don't know if AS is Leopard ready. I guess not, because it hasn't been updated for a long time, and most software had to be upgraded to work reliably with Leopard.
